WC: Team Sweden 2019 roster

[jfc64]

what, no Dahlin??

No BRODIN is worse...still one of Ekholm and Klingberg might join from the first round. Marcus Pettersson is a good choice, though.

 

[weklof]

I'm more worried about the forwards. Lindblom, Bratt and A. Kempe has some offensive upside, but they're not leading top line players yet. M. Kempe, Krüger and Loui are 4th liners at this point. Can 20 year old Elias Pettersson, who went cold the last half of the season, carry the offence by himself?

 

[jfc64]

No word yet on these players, though a few might be involved in the AHL playoffs. Could be reserves...

10. Victor Olofsson (LW/RW) Buffalo Sabres 6 2 2 4 0.67 2 1

Not worried about Bratt doing great in the slightest.

Yeah, MP's a good replacement for Brodin, & Hjammer.

 

[Star Ocean]

That’s weird because NONE of our NHL players seems to have any problems at all playing under Grönborg, infact he seems to be a major reason why so many have accepted their invites the past two years. So this theory seems half-baked.

Well remember the olympics debacle? Dahlin wasnt handled well

 

[Eye of Ra]

Expressen is saying Rasmus Dahlin declined the invitation, at the same time hockeynews is saying he accepted the invite but the sabres have yet to release him, up is down, left is right.
Seriously Dahlin TWO declined invites at the tender age of 19. Go represent some other ****ing team. Sorry for the outburst, but REALLY?!

you can trust swehockey, dahlin wont come, its 100 %.

expressen, hockeynews etc is not 100 % trustworthy like swehockey is.

 

[Eye of Ra]

not inviting anders nilsson? having 3 great goalies are always better than 2...i guess one of enroth, hellberg, lasse johansson is in.

no word on hörnqvist....might mean he is close to accept.

good that they want m.pettersson, but pääjärvi? ugh. If Pääjärv is in it means Loui will play in top 9...

grönborg actually wanted to invite de la rose, rask and j.larsson again....

too bad about dahlin and brodin, i thought both of them where in.

god i am scared thar markström will change his mind and decline now that lundqvist is in.

Lundqvist
Markström
Enroth/Hellberg/Johansson

OEL - Ekholm/Klingberg
Gustafsson - Larsson
M.Pettersson - Hägg
Wikstrand - Dahlbeck

xxx - Elias - Hörnqvist
Bratt - A.Kempe - xxx
Loui - xxx - Lindblom
Pääjärvi - Kruger - M.Kempe

 

[Star Ocean]

I feel bad for markstrom.

At the same time lundqvist apparence might get us a few more nhlers.

 

[Elvs]

I think I would have prefered no Lundqvist. Because of pure name value, he'll be the starter throughout the tournament no matter if Markstrom outplays him in the group stage.

 

[Seiza]

Yes, Lundqvist will be #1 what ever happens. Feel bad for Markström.

 

[Star Ocean]

Yes, Lundqvist will be #1 what ever happens. Feel bad for Markström.

I remember World Cup 2016 when markstrom looked better than Lundqvist.


Now that Dahlin has said no, i am worried over our D. We need klingberg.

Hopefully he says yes if dallas goes out.

 

[Star Ocean]

I am wondering why victor olofsson hasnt gotten a look yet.

Gronborg never looks at AHL.

 

[VictorLustig]

Dahlin wanted to play. It's pretty obvious the Sabres told him not to go.

 

[EK47]

Dahlin wanted to play. It's pretty obvious the Sabres told him not to go.

They aren’t allowed to stop him if be passes his medical. They can tell that they don’t want him to go bit they can’t use any punishment under the CBA if he goes.

 

[Star Ocean]

Dahlin wanted to play. It's pretty obvious the Sabres told him not to go.

If not injured thats not allowed.

 

[VictorLustig]

If not injured thats not allowed.

Doubt that matters one bit. He'd still listen to his employer. Dahlin has a big off-season in the gym ahead of him, he's way behind the curve.

To be a real contender for the gold with the US and Russia being stacked we’re gonna need another good center Backlund or Bäckström preferably, at least one of Ekholm or Klingberg. Two of Landeskog/Lindholm/Arvidsson/Forsberg/Nylander/Johnsson. Maybe just one top line winger would do it a guy like Sörensen could also slot in nicely provided that he is centered by a decent center. Decided not to include Erik Karlsson, William Karlsson or Nyquist here since they all have contracts to sign.

 

[EK47]

I obviously wrote that post before I realized expressen had swehockey as their source.

 

[amoboko]

When I saw the team announcement I was really biassed that so many good D -men didn't take the opportunity to play in this tournament.

 

[Star Ocean]

Elias Lindholm anyone
