I realy dont like Winipeg , but if they loose, then Finland gets Laine and we miss out on Forsberg and Arvidsson. Its just a no win situation...
 
They will obviously wait until Ekholm is out of the picture, if he is, either Heed, Ryan, or Djoos if Caps lose should get invited.

Forwards I can see them waiting on Sörensen until the second round is finished, because you'd want Forsberg & Arvidsson, and if Caps lose; Bäckström, and if Pens lose; Hörnqvist. Both Bäckström & Hörnqvist are playing with injuries though and will more than likely decline should they get knocked out. This might be one of Hörnqvist's last chances when it comes to a worlds appearance, though.

hagelin would be a nice piece for this team. elite speed. burakovsky?
 
And Hagelin has missed playoff games due to injury. Also don't see them inviting him even if he wasn't. I'd personally want Sörensen over him tbh.

Ryan has already chosen to represent Sweden in U17-U20, so he should be.

Ryan is not eligible to suit up for Sweden at IIHF events. He has not spent 24 months playing hockey in Sweden, was stopped from participating at the 2012 WJC for that reason.

Had to look it up and turns out he did play 22 months for Redhawks, just 2 months shy, that has to suck. Heed/Djoos it is then.
 
We are in pretty good shape with those top two defensive pairs on the ice. The tempo of the game decreases pretty significantly with Wikstrand and Gustafsson on the ice, defensively they have been decent though.

Top line looked very nonchalant at times against France, their shifts were way too long and they tried to be super cute all the time. Last year we had a Lindholm-Rask line that dominated the start of the tournament but faded as the tournament progressed, hopefully that doesn't happen with the Rakell line this year. Having seen all three games I feel we absolutely need Forsberg and Arvidsson to defend the title though.

The whole team turned nonchalant after we went up 2-0, we usually do in those type of games.

Also Larsson might get a game because of the missed call which would be trash, forcing us to most likely use another roster spot.

Janmark looked absolutely lost today. Maybe the line needs a switchup move Kempe there to give them an extra physical edge?

Even though I don’t feel like the line will fade as the tournament progresses (simply too much difference in talent between Rakell, Zibanejad and Lindholm, Rask. While Landeskog is good that line had no offensive ”driver” this line has two),I agree we absolutely need more edge to really be ”up there”.

You cant compare Rask and Lindholm with Zib, Jannark and Rakell, its a huge difference in skills and scoring ability.
 
Well they’re probably not loosing a game seven om home ice. Oh well..
