WJC: Team Sweden 2024 U20 WJC roster talk

[Predatore]

might be too late

Yeah, he will have to produce significantly (ppg) and play really well. Has nothing to do on the bottom line, but maybe as the 13th forward and get some shifts on the man advantage and stir things up if pp is not clicking. Kind of feels like he will be competing with Erik Påhlsson for a roster spot.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

So, Suzdalev on loan to Mora. Smart decision if he wants the least chance of making this team.

Too bad it didnt happen earlier, he could have been on to the roster in czechia.

 

[lomiller1]

I noticed that Axel Landén has replaced Elias Salmonsson for the upcoming tournament, first game on thursday.

There are some reports out there that Salomonsson is injured

 

[Eye of Ra]

LEO comes. Öhgren starts to play. Suzdalev shits in points.

Bystedt - Carlsson - Wahlberg
Öhgren - Östlund - Lekkerimäki
Suzdalev - Edstrom - Stenberg
Born - Wagner - Sörum
Pettersson

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I don't think there is even a small chance Leo is being released.

Swedish fans can forget about that, he's too good.

18 goals for and 4 against this 4 nations tourney and the lines werent complete as some top guys rested each game.

 

[VictorLustig]

Bystedt and Sandin Pellikka were dominant from what I saw. Lekkerimäki and Östlund were also very good. Expected more offense from Stenberg and Unger Sörum, they were just ok.

E. Pettersson hit his head to the boards against Slovakia, didn’t play after that. Very likely a concussion.

 

[erikhamren]

Öhgren and Suzdalev in:

Öhgren - Östlund - Lekkerimäki
Stenberg - Bystedt - Wahlberg
Suzdalev - Edstrom - Unger Sörum
Wagner - Born - Pettersson
Påhlsson

To leave out Nilsson and Nordh shows the quality of this years offense

Seems so. Now he get his next contract one year earlier! (10 games)

Wonder if his teammates played for him in the hattrick game...

He's got all the hallmarks of being a number one centreman, wont take long either.

Salomonsson is in today’s CHL lineup, so no worries!

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Who is the odd man out on defense? I get a feeling Willander wont be selected.

Liam Öhgren comeback tomorrow!

Willander really needed to play at the 5 nations in August to boost his chances.

 

[VictorLustig]

Willander really needed to play at the 5 nations in August to boost his chances.

Yeah, ASP, Hävelid and Salomonsson are absolute locks as RHDs. Then Odelius, Norén and Pettersson all played last year.

Willander wouldn’t significantly improve this defense imo. I think they go the ”safe” route, I would like to see him at camp though.

Norén is not good enough imo, wilander is miles better than him

7 pts in 11 games to start his NCAA career. Leads BU at +10

 

[Predatore]

Granted how awesome he was at the U18 Worlds and the clips I have seen from his NCAA rookie season (mind you, I have not seen him play full games), Willander sure looks to be good enough to make this team. Hope he gets a good look at camp.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Odelius injured vs BIK Karlskoga

 

[erikhamren]

If Odelius injury is bad and he Will miss the tourney, maybe Sahlin Wallenius Will get a closer look. I think We go for 4 LHD and 3 RDH.

Pettersson - Hävelid
Lindstein - Sandin Pellikka
Sahlin Wallenius - Salomonsson
Norén

If 4 RHD instead, either Johansson or Willander takes Sahlin Wallenius or Noréns spot.

I dont think he wont be selected as the defence alternatives are decent enough but its fun to imagine

With the way Anton Johansson is playing, I can’t see Willander making it, and people also shouldn’t be surprised by how much Johansson will play. He’s a big kid, who’s looked good in the SHL and he’s looked good in U20 games too.

He’s showing why he was drafted as high as he was, and the way he’s developing, he may have been a steal in the 2nd round.

Wasn't Johansson a 4th round pick though?
