WC: Team Sweden Roster

[Eye of Ra]

I'm fairly sure that Wikstrand makes the team as 7th or 8th defender.

i dont like that. very meh player.

 

[jfc64]

Lindholm - Klingberg
OEL - Larsson
Gustafsson - Nemeth

But what if Lindholm and Nemeth declines....then Tre Kronor has to call in Fantenberg and Folin. Fantenberg - Folin as a 3rd pairing is not bad. Or maybe Lundberg-Martinsson from SHL.

Larsson - Klingberg
OEL - Gustafsson
Fantenberg - Folin/Lundberg - Martinsson

and then there is rahimi....he looks good with the puck in the shl playoffs...he is dominating lindström-pär-möller....

Hägg - Borgman?

Ryan - Wikstrand ?

Forsling - Holm ?

Hedman - Strålman !! (Can lose to Boston, you know...)

 

[DDRhockey]

I dont want bratt, and Johansson is going to decline because of the concussion.

oduya, oscar lindblom, andreas johnsson?

Lundberg? Oduya is old and slow and didn't play last series.

 

[joe89]

MoJo should be a lock if he wants to go, he's very close to a best-on-best team. Arguably a higher potential on the big ice, too.

 

[EK47]

MoJo should be a lock if he wants to go, he's very close to a best-on-best team. Arguably a higher potential on the big ice, too.

He played really well before his concussion aswell. Pretty similar to Zibanejad’s season looking at it that way.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Hey guys, any idea about Sweden’s starting lineup for the game tonight?

 

[archibald]

I think we can assume that the goalie trio is set - Nilsson, Hellberg, Fasth.

The D-pairings will probably look something like this:

Lindholm-Klingberg
OEL-Larsson
Gustafsson-X

With Player X being one of the european players. I think that Wikstrand, Pilut, Rahimi, Martinsson are all in the mix. Then I think they're gonna stay cool and hold spots for quality guys getting eliminated from the playoffs(Hedman, Strålman, Ekholm).

 

[DDRhockey]

Without someone hating me, but when will a swedish journalist pop the question about pettersson and whc?

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Janmark is now confirmed.

 

[weklof]

I think we can assume that the goalie trio is set - Nilsson, Hellberg, Fasth.

Considering that Fasth didn't play in the finals, can we assume he is healthy enough to go? I think there is a strong possibility he declines an invite

 

[Eye of Ra]

Lets be realistic. Grönborg will not invite Elias Pettersson. We all know it. Grey beard is very stubborn. Marcus Johansson has been injured all season so he will not come either. Landeskog will decline since he already played thousands of WHC. Nylander played last year and got a gold and if i am not misstaken he has a conact situation with Toronto so we can forget about him. Wennberg just had a injury. I dont think Nemeth will get a invite. I have a feeling that Rahimi will grab a spot, with the season he had and the fact that Popovic loves him.

Rakell - Zibanejad - Rosen
Nyquist - Backlund - Möller
Janmark - Kempe - Rödin
JDLR - J.Larsson - Pääjärvi

Lindholm - Klingberg
OEL - Larsson
Gustafsson - Rahimi

Nilsson
Hellberg
Fasth

No thanks to Söderberg. I will scream if he gets a invite.

4 spots open for stanley cup reinforcements.

wikstrand have shown nothing to get a spot. wikstrand is not even top 10 d in SHL.

If he turns down invitation he will need to have his head examined.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Bratt and MOJO will most likely play. Johansson has had a short season and Bratt is a 19 year old who will be counted on in the future.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

I dont want bratt, and Johansson is going to decline because of the concussion.

You don't want a 19 year old 40 point pace NHL'er on your team?

 

[Eye of Ra]

but for 50 games he did nothing. he was benched in stanley cup. he ran out of gas.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

If Sweden was doing their homework Bratt has been very good the last 4 or 5 games he played. Yes he hit a wall but the rest did him wonders. He was our best forward in the elimination game against Tampa. It is Hischier that has absolutely nothing left in the tank.

Ok ok i want him on the team. But if he ends up with 0 points in this tournament then i will blame you for it .

 

[Bear12Good]

Do you want see Lander in SWE team ?)

 

[Retroglyphs]

Do you want see Lander in SWE team ?)

Same type of player as Buffalo's Larsson, only better. Performed well at the olympics. Yes.

 

[EK47]

Do you want see Lander in SWE team ?)

It depends on which players will become available.

 

[archibald]

Do you want see Lander in SWE team ?)

I'd take him over De la Rose, Larsson and Pääjärvi. But because these guys are guaranteed a spot on the team I'm not sure if there's room.

 

[Eye of Ra]

There is no room for lander. Zibanejad, Backlund, kempe and j.larsson have locked the center positions. But yeah lander is probaly better than j.larsson.
