Team Sweden all time team

[Eye of Ra]

I dont see any of current active forwards making it outside of Maybe W Nylander, as of right now.

Among Ds its Hedman and Karlsson in. Keep in mind this is the prime versions of Hedman and Karlsson.

I guess Markström could steal a 3rd spot as the goalie.

Kenny Jönsson is one of the most underated players in the history of hockey. He was amazing. Best D in 2006 Olympics, a tournament that had many allstars and legends.

The 5 Ds are no brain brainers but the 6th is up for grab. There is no clear 6th. Depends on what you like. I think i go with Öhlund. He was great defensivly, big, physical and skilled offensivly. He was the complete package.

I only picked few from pre 80s, we had good players pre 80s but i dont think they are better than the latter generations we had.

Renberg pre 98 was a MONSTER.

No clear rules how to pick the team, you make them own.

Henrik Lundqvist
Pelle Lindbergh
Jacob Markström

Börje Salming - Nicklas Lidström
Victor Hedman - Kenny Jönsson
Mattias Öhlund - Erik Karlsson

Daniel Sedin - Henrik Sedin - Daniel Alfredsson

Markus Näslund - Peter Forsberg - Mats Sundin

Mats Näslund - Kent Nilsson - Håkan Loob

Henrik Zetterberg - Thomas Steen - Mikael Renberg

3 offensive lines, the 4th line is a checking unit. If i remember correctly Sundin could play wing, or was it Forsberg?

Sundin did play some wing. So did Kent.

Sundin played wing in Quebec, Forsberg usually played wing if he shared ice with Sakic.

No Mikael Samuelsson?

Tomas Sandstrom should make that team.

IMO, Stefan Persson was much better than Jonsson.

With honorary spots given to Anders Hedberg and Ulf Nilsson.

 

[MadLuke]

Niklas Backstrom ?

Niklas Backstrom ?

Yes as 4c perhaps. But Steen is more gritty. There is also Bengt Åke Gustafsson who was a great center for the caps.

No Mikael Samuelsson?

Weinhandl getting his spot on the team 2010 !

Yeah Sandström was a good one.

Better than Tomas Jonsson but Kenny Jönsson aswell?

Did not Hedberg and Ulf play on the same line?

Samuelsson probably figured as he was enjoying a career year with the Sedins, and also was on the Olympic roster in 2006, his chances making the team were particularly strong in 2010. I didn’t remember Weinhandl actually playing on the Sedins’ line in 2010, but it seems he were.

Did they make up a line in MoDo in 1999-00? From his higher point totals, I would expect Magnus Wernblom to have been the Sedins’ RW in Weinhandl’s only season with the twins, but it’s possible there were a historical link between Weinhandl on a line with them. @sr edler do you remember?

Why can all of these all time teams cover all eras but the Russian one have to be from the 1990s onward?

I wondered the same thing. It's easy enough to leave out non-Russians that played for the Soviet Union, such as Balderis.
