I was thinking the same with Strömwall. I'd rather have him than Olofsson to be honest

Unsurprising, too bad though seemed like he genuinely wanted to go.Tackar nej till VM- spel: ”Jättetråkigt”
LOS ANGELES. Efter några glada NHL-besked inför hockey-VM i maj kommer nu ett nej. Pittsburghforwarden Rickard Rakell, 30 kommer inte att åka till Tjeckien och turneringen. – Jag har tyvärr blivit tvungen att tacka nej på grund av en axelskada jag har dragits med under säsongen, säger Rakell...
Rakell's shoulder stops him from going.

Yeah, thinking he was automatic was stupid of me, Anaheim won't let him play no doubt, too big an asset to risk.
Well not if he’s had recurring injury problems throughout the season atleast. Still hoping for him though.
No, Olofsson and Burakovsky are not top 6 players even at this level. Let alone first liners. I could maybe see Burakovsky being productive, but Olofsson, no way. Agree with the rest.
