William Karlsson on his day is a fantastic player. Should be a star at the WC level. Would love him in the top 6. Hopefully Vegas don't make it in over Dallas, but I probably think they do. I think it is pretty obvious that Karlsson is better than Wennberg.

Wennberg in the top-9.
Asplund, Lundeström, & Sundqvist for a shutdown line.

Forsberg as the starter

Yeah I forgot Kempe(who's an FA), & OEL. Gustafsson, Fagemo, & Söderström have been AHL players this season so didn't include them. Zetterlund has too, but he has been up with the Devils now at the end of the season and played well.

Gustafsson have played 2 NHL games this season. Fagemo has 5 NHL games this season, Söderström have 13. Another player is Jacob Moverare who has 17 NHL games this season and Kevin Stenlund who played 3 games with Columbus.

There is some very good AHLers aswell as Holtz and Berggren.

Karlqvist - Olofsson - Rosdahl
Söderblom - Kellman - Lang
Nordström - Bengtsson - Friberg

well frölunda just got knocked out. there is no reason for frölunda players not to play in czech hockey games. they have 4 days to rest. that should be enough.

Friberg and Folin were in the Olympic squad and will surely get an invite. I am hoping that they give Edvinsson a chance as well

We are in bigger need of Forwards than Ds.

Pettersson or W.Karlsson + Forsberg would be nice. If Dallas misses we are getting J.Klingberg.

Pettersson and W. Karlsson would be a real good 1-2 punch. I guess Wennberg could be an option too, but I am not so high on him. Pettersson, Karlsson, Wallmark, Sundqvist/Lander/Krüger would be a good centre core

Nice with Söderblom, Tömmernäs, Olofsson, Friberg.

Choosing Ollas-Mattsson, Pettersson and Själin over Borgman/Folin/Edvinsson is madness.

Why was Glenn Gustafsson getting a invite to begin with when he did not get to play in any games? That was weird.

Lines imo:

Karlqvist - Olofsson - Rosdahl
Brome - Wallmark - L.Karlsson
Söderblom - Kellman - Lang
Nordström - Åman - Friberg
Lundin/Hartmann

Tömmernäs - Pudas
Lindholm - Persson
Själin - Roos
Ollas Mattsson - Pettersson

Yeah, weird. He was not mentioned among the players being cut on the federation web page, but he is not on the roster. Maybe he left due to injury before the games or something?

Yeah, Folin I thought for sure was a lock. Maybe he didn't want to come, or is joining for the Beijer Games. I mean Fredrik Olofsson is joining just now, despite other Oskarshamn players already being on the roster

Borgman is injured and Folin declined. Edvinsson would have been fun but he's also been dealing with injury so I don't know if that played a part in it.

Hopefully Jonatan Berggren gets some consideration also. Would take him over a fair number of those forward names.

Swedish NT never invite players from the AHL.

Also, Edvinsson declined the Olympics, so even if the injury didn't play any role he either wasn't invited due to that, or declined yet again with the same reason he gave for declining the Olympics.

Is there actually anything stopping them from inviting AHL players though?
Agree on Edvinsson, could be several reasons.

Did Folin just decline for Czech Hockey Games or decline from WC aswell?
Just for CHG to my knowledge (from raka puckar).

would not suprise me if edvinsson goes to AHL asap
Grand Rapids is going to miss the playoffs so I think they have only like 2 games left. Doubt Edvinsson joins them for that.

I was hoping for Edvinsson, but I take his absence from this squad to mean he won't be joining. I don't think he has the status among Sweden managment, to get to "skip" games
