Olympics: Team Sweden 2026

Saw no thread...

I dont want Pettersson and Zibanejad on the team. Only if they get back in shape. But i doubt our coach has the balls to do it. If Leo Carlsson has a breakout season or any other youngsters than i have them in. No need for wasted oldies like Nyqvist and Arvidsson when we have Eklund and Zetterlund.

William Karlsson and Markström missed 4 nations due to injuries. They will add much.

Only PP for Olofsson. He is deadly in PP. But bad 5 vs 5.

Bratt - Karlsson - Nylander
Forsberg - Eriksson Ek - Raymond
Kempe - Lindholm - Rakell
Eklund - Backlund - Zetterlund
Holmström, Olofsson

Dahlin - Ekholm
Hedman - Forsling
Brodin - Karlsson
Edvinsson - Andersson

Markström/Ullmark/Ersson/Gustavsson

...where Sweden hurts, imo, is down the middle and without Petey & Zibby there, it's really weak...yes, they both were BAD at the 4 Nations, but hope for a bounceback...Sweden should be a favorite...

Man... long gone are the days of Forsberg, Sundin, Zetterberg, H. Sedin, and Backstrom.

Sweden really, really lacks down the middle relative to Canada, USA, Finland, even Germany.

Yes our centers are not great. If Zibanejad and Pettersson gets back in shape then it looks better. And Leo Carlsson could explode.

Germany....you mean Drai and Stutzle? Outside of those 2 we are stronger than the Germans.

Of course you are stronger, but Germany down the middle has the ability to run Draisaitl/Stutzle/Sturm which is stronger overall than any combo of three the Swedes can come up with.

Sweden IMO beats Germany of course overall but down the middle Sweden is weak, weak, weak.

I dont see how Sturm is a better player than William Karlsson/Eriksson Ek/Lindholm/Backlund/Petey/Zibby. And Germans 4c will be some dude from DEL. We have better bottom 6 centers than Germany but worse top 6 centers.
