WC: Team Sweden 2025

Lindblom and Weissbach are 2 players i would be okay with on the 4th line. Even though i prefer we go with 4 NHL lines. But i doubt Hallam does that. He wanna reward some European Leauges players. Unfortunately Sörensen is still dominating in NLA. And great in EHT. I bet my left ball he is gonna make the team. I guess its ok if he is on the 4 th line. He can actually play pretty physical and bring some speed.
 
Calgary still has a decent chance at the playoffs. Minny & Blues at 93p with 2 games left. Calgary at 90 with 3.

Calgary loses any tie-breakers so they need to finish a point over either of Minny/Blues.

The final WC spot can very well be decided in the literal final game of the regular season.

Tror Hallam försöker sälja in VM som uttagning till OS och att han bara väljer möjliga OS-spelare så långt han kan. Minus några SEL-spelare.

Defensemen pool is deep: (projection)

Dahlin - Karlsson
Edvinsson -
Andersson
Pettersson
- Larsson
Forsling/Hedman - Brodin
Broberg - Liljegren
Ekholm/(Kempe) - ASP

Yeah Kempe is a very good shut down D.

Team (projected) if no 4NT-players participate! Except goalies where Ersson plus others from NHL battle it out on who's no. 3. Markström and Ullmark should be considered locks. But not who's no. 2 on that team.

Johansson – Backlund – Burakovsky
Eklund
Wennberg – Grundström
Höglander
- Hållander – Silfverberg
Boquist – Stenlund
Sörensen
Lindberg

Broberg - Liljegren
Pettersson - Larsson
Edvinsson - ASP
André
- Söderström

Markström / Gustavsson
Ersson / Söderblom
/
Wallstedt / Forsberg / Johansson

Grundström is nothing more than a 4th liner.
 
Detroit is out of the playoffs. That makes Raymond, Edvinsson, Johansson, Berggren open on the market ++
Berggren and Johansson are RFAs, so probably want new contracts before accepting. To be honest, I also hope we get superior players. Johansson is a bottom 6-D and Berggren is a fringe NHLer who probably will be out of the leagues in a few years.

Edvinsson and Raymond would be huge additions. I am sure Edvisson will accept, it'll be his first Worlds and he has an outside shot at the Olympics. Raymond has looked tired after 4 Nations, so more unsure of him.
