World Cup: 4 Nations Tournament - Team Sweden (2025)

[EK47]

Surprised to see people pushing for Carlsson and not Eklund. Eklund has played his way on to this roster, Carlsson IMO has played his way off it.

Yeah its weird

He won't be. Handedness will only matter if it's between players of similar quality. They won't select a much lesser player because he's an RHS.

The d-core at Worlds could be fun, though, with a selection of these youngish dmen:

Broberg
Edvinsson
Sandin
Liljegren
Brännström
Andrae
Salomonsson
ASP

Also idk why people keep pairing Hedman & EK65. Hedman isn't the beacon of defense he once was.

There is also Albert Johansson and Victor Söderström

Perhaps even Helge Grans

Three points in his last three games for Timothy Liljegren now (and 3 goals in last 9 games).

It took him 6 games or so to adjust to his new team, but he’s done it now and is only just entering his prime years.

It would be shortsighted to not even consider a player with Liljegren’s elite tools, Sweden needs to keep one eye on the Olympics with this Four Nations tournament, they are going to need the next generation to step up for 2026 if they want a chance at gold.
