Is he on a path to earn a spot on Sweden WJC lineup?
He is odds on favourite.
Only three returning players.
And he has been the #1 on the Swedish u-18 and u-17 teams for aa few years.
Soderstrom
Broberg
Bjornfot
are the returnees.
Then the only other guys on the roster playing pro hockey are:
Johansson - SHL
Andrae - SHL
Grans - SHL
Wallinder - Allsvenskan
Berglund - Allsvenskan
And - tbh - only Johansson is better than Andrae right now of those guys.
Grans has been worse at 5v5 than Andrae in similar minutes... but gets PP time on Malmo.
Wallinder and Berglund are 3rd pairing guys in Allsvenskan.
I guess those eight are the guys that go. Maybe Edvinsson somehow does but doubt it.
Brannstrom, Persson and Hedstrom are a year older than Andrae and not playing at the pro level.
My guess is that Andrae is the #5 on the WJC team, and gets some PP2 time.
