WJC: Team Sweden 2024 U20 WJC roster talk

[Eye of Ra]

I mean, Rudslätt shouldn't make the roster any way. There's just way too many two-way players (which

yep but hävelid likes him

Noah Östlund's concussion is worrying, still not back in the lineup.

same shit every season, always key players injured

 

[erikhamren]

The roster will be released this week, Hope Östlund is not out. If he is its tv off

 

[Eye of Ra]

Preliminary roster's announced in two days, any hot takes in regards to players that will be included/excluded?

I wonder if Willander will be punished for snubbing the SHL to go to Boston University and play in the NCAA.

Having watched him this weekend on the top D-pairing role with Lane Hutson, i find it hard to believe that there are 2-3 RD better than Willander for Sweden. His skating and battle level is top class and he is drawing big time praises from scouts and coaches.

His issue isn't that, no. It's him snubbing the team when he really needed to, well, not do that and showcase himself in actual games.

You think he won't make the preliminary roster?

 

[hockeyprospects9]

I’m starting to get worried about Östlund…

 

[Eye of Ra]

You think he won't make the preliminary roster?

i think this guys are ahead of him in hävelids mind

Mattias Hävelid
Elias Salomonsson
ASP
Elias Pettersson
Jakob Norén
Theo Lindstein
Tom Willander
Anton Johansson

Dark horses;

Hugo Fransson
Filip Nordberg
Axel Landén
Lucas Lagerberg Hoen

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

When do they release the invited roster

 

[erikhamren]

When do they release the invited roster

I think tomorrow.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Any word on Bemidji State's Liam Engstrom? Hasn't put up a lot of points for the Beavers yet but it looks like he's played some games for the Sweden U20 team (though not sure which tournament).

[theslatcher]

Goalies: Thelin, Hävelid, Reidler

Dmen: EP, Salomonsson, ASP, Hävelid, A.Johansson, Norén, Willander

 

[theslatcher]

Rudslätt really made it.

 

[Kuracmugger]

Rudslätt really made it.

Do you have a link of the complete roster?

 

[theslatcher]

Forwards: Wagner, Born, Östlund, Edstrom, FUS, Bystedt, Rudslätt, Öhgren, Forsfjäll, Wahlberg, Lekkerimäki, Stenberg, O.Pettersson

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Rudslätt really made it.

He was always going to… no good reason for him being on that team

 

[VictorLustig]

Good job Caps ruining Suzdalevs chances

I guess all Swedish coaches must always bring a favorite that never should be brought.

[Predatore]

So, notable omissions?

G
Alexander Hellnemo
Noah Erliden

D
Hugo Fransson
Lucas Lagerberg Hoen
Axel Landén
Theo Lindstein
Calle Odelius (injury)
Albert Wikman

F
Filip Eriksson
Hannes Hellberg
Linus Hemström
Felix Nilsson
Noel Nordh
Erik Påhlsson
Alexander Suzdalev
Simon Zether

...to name a few. Cannot say I miss any of them greatly. D looks very good despite no Odelius or Lindstein... and a guy like Suzdalev would probably not make a scoring line on this team, so I can see why they selected the grinders ahead of him.

****
Oskar Pettersson, Rasmus Rudslätt, Jakob Norén are probably the ones I would personally consider switching out, but then again they have performed well in previous tournaments.. so...

 

[LemonSauceD]

I’m surprised Felix Nilsson didn’t make the cut

 

[Ebbert]

No Lindtsein is strange for me. I would like that Simon Zether and Hannes Hellberg have spots too but well.
