WC: Team Sweden 2019 roster

[LaGu]

Larsson has been a bit up and down this season, but then again he was up and down last season as well and it still worked out pretty good in the WHC. Only issue might be if his inconsistent play this season is due to an undisclosed injury.

 

[theslatcher]

Hjalmarsson and Silfverberg are on contract years so I am guessing they won't be coming over.
Right now I cannot remember if we've gotten SWE players to come even though they are not signed, but I do remember that there have been some that avoid coming unless they have a contract for the upcoming season.

Silfverberg signed a new contract a week ago.

Silfverberg signed a new contract a week ago.

I must be drunk, completely forgot about him signing.

Don't tell me that Hjalmarsson is also signed already...

Edit: Kempe is also not signed (at least I think so!)

You know, I thought I remembered Hjammer signing one last year and turns out I was right, he actually signed a 2 year extension in July.

Kempe is an RFA without arb rights, so shouldn't be any problems for LA to extend him.

I'll just crawl back down under a rock for the rest of today...

 

[VictorLustig]

The tournament starts one week later this year so there should be some additions from the playoff teams.

 

[vippe]

I'm not worried about NHL player participation. After the BÅG debacle in terms of NHL players the management has had a very good relationship with the players.

Grönborg, Garpenlöv and Popovic are well liked and respected.

 

[theslatcher]

Silfverberg says he's interested in playing at worlds. Barring a miracle where the Ducks get into the playoffs, or an injury it sounds like he'll come and play.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Bratt-J.Larsson-Silfverberg would be a great shut-down line.

Bratt is like a duracell rabbit.

Larsson is garbage

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Larsson is garbage

He is great defensively. Wins board battles and is good at keeping possession.

Not garbage.

I saw him last wc and he didnt really do anything

Offensively, no.

His job is to shut top lies down.

Not garbage.

And so is Anton Lander and Jacob Josefson. We already have a bunch of J.Larsson type of players in Europa.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Joakim Lindström and Oscar Möller have been good this season. Do you guys think they can still be a force in Tre Kronor? Not top 6, but on a 3rd line, providing some secondary scoring.

 

[Boonk]

Jacob or Adam Larsson? Adam Larsson is easily better than any of the Euro options in the same role.

Adam Larsson last time I checked doesn't start with a J. But neither of them, Johan Larsson(Buffalo center, the position that Lander, & Josefson plays too).

Also, Grundström should get invited. Put him and Kempe on the same line just like Kings is doing.

uh

johan larsson.

 

[Eye of Ra]

adrian kempe

his brother, mario, have done a good job for coytes. a speedy player with both skill and grit. could be intresting to invite him too.

Grundstrom - A.Kempe - M.Kempe could be a good 4th line.

Arizona is 1 point from a WC spot with a game in hand, so might not be available.

The only ones out of the playoffs is Ottawa, but other than that it's safe to assume Detroit, New Jersey, Rags, Buffalo, Kings, Ducks, & Nucks are out too as they're >=9 points back. You could pretty much count Oilers, & Hawks out too as they're 7 points back. Flyers is 50/50, they could still make it, but the probability of it is less than 10%.

 

[TommySalo]

Looking at the currnet standings in NHL, Sweden will hope to have most of these players for a third consecutive WC title.

GK: Lundqvist /Rangers/, Markstrom /Canucks/, Ullmark /Buffalo/

Defence: Adam Larsson /Oilers/, Klefbom /Oilers/, Dahlin /Buffalo/, Eric Gustafsson /Chicago/, Lindholm /Anaheim/, Edler /Canucks/,

Forwards: Bratt /Devils/, Zibanejad /Rangers/, Fast /Rangers/, Lindblom /Flyers/, Kempe /Kings/, Rakell /Anaheim/, Silfverberg /Anaheim/, Petersson /Canucks/, Landeskog /Avalanche/, Soderberg /Avalanche/

And 4 places left for top players, if they are eliminated from the playoffs.
Someone like Backstrom, E. Karlsson, E. Lindholm, OEL, Klingberg, Hedman

 

[Eye of Ra]

we can forget landeskog, he is injured. thats a huge blow.

 

[Tomas W]

Bratt-J.Larsson-Silfverberg would be a great shut-down line.

Bratt is like a duracell rabbit.

Silf is scoring a lot as of late, why not a offensive line for him?

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Guess it depends if we get a stacked team together or not, but why not.

Rakell-Zibanejad-Silfverberg could be fun.

 

[theslatcher]

we can forget landeskog, he is injured. thats a huge blow.

Two things:

1. Colorado is 1 point away from a playoff spot with a game in hand on Minnesota.
2. He's expected to be back early-mid April.

Edit:

Also, Bratt is injured week-to-week, so he might not be available.
