WC: WC: 2024 Team Sweden Roster Talk

[EK47]

Nylander not in the line up for Toronto so if they are eliminated, it’s pretty safe to say he wont be going to the worlds. Judging by Petterssons stats the past 15 games or so my guess would be he’s also harboring an injury.

Eriksson Ek confirmed per Aftonbladet! HUGE!

Svenske NHL-stjärnan till VM – tillbaka i Tre Kronor efter sju år

Surprised. His play fell off towards the end of the season, and I suspect he was playing with an injury, as he is a max effort guy.

I guess we’ll see. Last year Dahlin told a reporter he was going and then failed the medical. Though those reports did not seem as definitive as the Eriksson Ek one did.

Eriksson Ek, Brodin and Marcus Johansson confirmed

How is Johansson in 2024 @57special?I’m getting a bit worried with all the fringe additions Hallam is using up spots for Burakovsky, Olofsson..

Burakovsky isn't a fringe addition.

Johansson had an abysmal second half of the season.

 

[weklof]

So confirmed by the federation so far:

Rasmus Dahlin
Victor Olofsson
Erik Karlsson
Marcus Pettersson
André Burakovsky
Joel Eriksson-Ek
Jonas Brodin
Marcus Johansson

 

[m4tt145]

Nice additions.

 

[EK47]

Burakovsky isn't a fringe addition.

Johansson had an abysmal second half of the season.

He only managed a mere 16 points in 49 games this season.
That was my fear about Johansson that he just doesn’t really cut it anymore.

Not complaining all in all though JEE is the best center we could’ve hoped for and with Brodin our top 4 is set. They really don’t need anymore additions from the NHL on D.

Burra has been injured which is why his point totals is down.

They're having a Wild day, eh?

 

[AdamParrot]

Ersson, Gustavsson & Wallstedt. Strong goalie depth.

Yeah Gus ended the season on a relative hot streak (atleast judging from the stats) aswell.

Ersson, Gustavsson & Wallstedt. Strong goalie depth.

Forgot to ask, whats your assesment of Ersson?

 

[weklof]

Interesting if we get three NHL goalkeepers, will all of them play?

Feels like the battle for backup in the 4 nations. Ullmark feels like the starter in a best-on-best, but the other two slots is some combination of these three and Markström

This Czech reporter says Holtz got an invite?

Yes, it says they all got invited but took time to think about it.

Ersson was pretty good first half (of his) season. When Hart left Philly, Ersson had to start in more games & his game went down. But he proved to me, he's a legit NHL goalie.

The questionmark was more towards Holtz getting an invite, which semingly only Papoušek knows anything about.

Sounds promising! It usually takes a while for goalies to find consistency in the NHL.

 

[Seiza]

The D is crazy good for a World Championship.

Dahlin-Brodin
Pettersson-Karlsson

MoJo adds some veteran presence but not much more at this point of his career. Hopefully, he will only play 3rd-4th line minutes.

Not good. Still has his wheels, but his strength and decision making, which looked so good when he was playing with Boldy the year before, disappeared. Ineffective would be the best way to describe him. Still excellent at carrying to puck through the neutral zone and zone entries(i.e. PP), though.

Good news is that Brodin, despite missing a lot of games due to injury, looks better than ever. Fast, strong, a bit more adventurous offensively without being foolish. Magnificent defender against everyone but Mackinnon.

JEE was great, in his own ugly way, till the last 10-15 games or so. Can't help but feel that his game is more suited to the NHL than International play, though.

Don't know what to tell you about Gus and Wall. Gus's stats this year speak for themselves. He wasn't consistent. Wall was playing behind a bad AHL team, so you have to take his mediocre stats with a grain of salt. Maybe give him a couple of games against lesser teams, and see how he looks? He definitely has a bright future.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Marcus Johansson is soon 34 and yet he never played in WC. He declined thousands of time. Now that he is done as a hockeyplayer he wanna come. What a clown.
