Last time they all played Karlsson got the A over Landeskog, OEL, Hedman, etc.

Karlsson with the C, Dahlin and Eriksson Ek with A's sounds correct.
Will be interesting who gets the C in the four nations cup. I'd say our three best players right now is Pettersson, Nylander and Dahlin. But Pettersson and Nylander don't feel like the leader types, Dahlin might be to young to shoulder the C, but I think will get a letter.

I think they usually give the C to someone who's there from the start. Backlund is also someone who tends to be captain if he comes home.

Karlsson still.

OEL too, but a captain should be regulars on the roster and I don't think either should be.



Foppa to be on Viaplay for Worlds

What if hallam asked olofsson but not carlsson?
That would be utterly crazy, but I wouldn't put anything past Team Sweden coaches 😅

But the lack of new regarding Leo makes me pessimitic. He has had some injury issues this season, so very possible the Anaheim medical staff stops hill from going

Quite possible Anaheim stops him without the medical team involved in the decision.

Gustavsson and Ersson will be one of the strongest tandems in the tournament.

How much av Pettersson and Karlsson played together this season? They feel like a natural pairing

They've been together for a majority of the season, with great results.

Just need a few forwards now

I think:

Eklund is a yes
Zetterlund is a yes
Holtz is a yes

The question is if Hallam thinks someone like Lekkerimäki might in fact be better than Holtz

Kind of feels like with the Olofsson addition, chances of seeing Holtz or Lekkerimäki on the team are slim.

Will be interesting to see how far FUS goes.

Apparently Tömmernes have declined an invitation. Not that he was needed anyway with so many NHL DS. But I guess Heed and Fantenberg can book their tickets to Prague

Holtz is better than Olofsson. Such a dumb desicion to add Olofsson.

Heed actually where an nhler, unlike tömmernäs. Heed on third pairing is fine.

Who will be the 3rd goalie? Might be wise to invite in Lasse Johansson. Ersson and Gustavsson are good goalies but young. Lasse can bring some experience.
 

EK47

Jukka Jalonen should be in all the hall of fames.

He was horrendous when it mattered.
yes, but great against Canada and Russia in qf and semifinals in Olympics. Im sure he is burning of revenge over that Latvia game.

Gustavsson and Ersson will play all the games. Bring Lindbom as a 3rd stringer to get experience
If no Lasse, then i would pick Wallstedt. He was great in last WC.
