What has actually changed since 2017 or 2018? Back then, coach Grönborg had good relations with NHL players, was he able to get them on the team, and did Garpenlöv throw all this away? I can understand that players without a contract do not want to take risks, or the club will not recommend them to start. But there are exceptions, Vrana was without a contract and yet he came to help the Czechs. One does not see a similar willingness among Swedish players, especially those who have not played so much for Tre Kronor. Not veterans like OEL, Larsson or Kempe. So why do they have such an approach to representation? This can be clearly seen on the example of the Czechs, they have the last medal from the World Cup in 2012, which is nine years of nothing. They are frustrating, one would expect them to stop being interested but they are not true. They already have seven players and they can still wait for the first round. Sweden may be in the competition of Germany or Switzerland for the second year in a row without a medal, may it be the necessary impulse for them to want to come again? I believe that relations with Hallam will improve and I will again see the quality of the NHL and perhaps one attack only from Europe.
