[romelson]

Alexander Urbom was asked to join the WJC squad to replace Simon Bertilsson, but Urbom turned down the offer.

[MauDevils]

He should have been on the team in the first place.

[Jason MacIsaac]

Josefson is injured and there is a chance NJ won't let him play.

 

[ZDatsZuke]

I think Jonas Brodin could take a spot has looked very mature the few times i have seen him, how is Bertilsson, Andersson, Nemeth doing?

 

[joe89]

Team to be named Thursday on the Swedish hockey night show. I expect a few dark horses.

[jbeck5]

So is lehner basically a lock for making the team? if so, is he a lock for the starting position?

 

[Bunter McVirtanen]

What about Anton Rodin and Peter Andersson?

 

[nitz]

is rundblad still eligible?

 

[Minister of Offence]

is rundblad still eligible?

Nope.

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

What about Anton Rodin and Peter Andersson?

Rödin is too old.

 

[SDig14]

Do any of the Sweden posters think Anton Lander will be the captain of this team?

Also, what about Victor Rask? Unlike Canada, Sweden has never really worried about taking players that are younger and draft eligible...I guess it depends on the depth you guys have down the middle already

Jarnkrok
Wannstrom
Rensfeldt
J.Larsson
Cehlin
Norman
Klingberg
Johansson
Fasth
Lindberg
Lander
Landeskog
Wallen


Larsson
Erixon
Bertilsson

Nemeth
Almquist
Mylläri

Lehner
Wentzel

 

[Detroitredwingsfan]

is Kruger to old?

 

[Sens Mile]

Is Sorensen in the mix(Question mark because this keeps happening É) I believe he was invited to the training camp but am not sure where he fits on the depth chart

 

[Weide]

IMO Klas Dahlbeck should be a lock as a shutdown d-man. But he probably wont be picked because he isn't well known or flashy enough.
His first season in the SEL and he has been the 2nd or 3rd best defenseman on a team loaded with veteran d-men. He is a +8 (tied for 9th in the SEL).
He went undrafted last year and could be a really good pick in the later rounds of this years draft.

 

[NYI Win]

Can't wait to watch Landeskog.

 

[Kronblom]

30 players will be selected on Thursday (2/12) to participate in a minicamp (13-17/12), the "final" roster will be chosen on December 18. Hopefully with one or two from the NHL, not that I think it will happen but still.

Here´s a useful link from Swehockey:

I also think that Dahlbeck should be on the team, ahead of players like Jonas Brodin and anyone else than Lander as captain would surprise me.

Any chance Pajaarvi gets released? Hes stuggled of late with the Oilers, and is currently on 4th line duty... it sounds crazy that hes still eligable, but with him there the Swedes would have, without a doubt the best offensive player in the tournie

He has played the majority of the games in the top 9 forwards...he has played for a brief time on the top line as well...but 90% of the time he plays on the 3rd line...he got demoted to the 4th line for 2 games because they wanted to give Ryan Jones a bigger role (not exactly sure why...)

Anyways, there is zero chance he gets released for the tournament...my guess is there is a better chance he would get sent down to the AHL for a bit, but even that seems very unlikely right now

 

[romelson]

Those of you who suggest Rask (or any other 93-born player for that matter) for the WJC can forget about it. All the top names of the swedish 93-crop(incl.Rask) have been nominated for the U18 camp that will be held at the same time as the U20 pre-WJC-camp.
So expect only players born 91 & 92 for U20 WJC Team Sweden. Not surprising really because the swedish 91ers has good depth and lots of drafted players will have to be left out.

Jonas Brodin??
