[hockeyprospects9]

19 goals in 41 SHL games - 4th in the league in goals. Lekkerimäki is pushing for a spot

Would you prefer Lekkerimäki over Holtz for the WC?

no

 

[Eye of Ra]

USA always have some players from NCAA in WC. If they can, so can we. Maybe Tom Wilander is ready? He might be the best-skating prospect D in the world

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Alex Nylander must be a lock.

 

[theslatcher]

Alex Nylander must be a lock.

We'll see if he can keep it up to some degree. Last year he played himself to 13F.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Alex Nylander must be a lock.

No way man, he was horrendous in wc. Its small sample size with Jackets, lets wait til gameday 82 too have a clearer picture. If he keeps playing good, then yes he is in.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Keep in mind that Hallam is not afraid to give youngsters the chance, see Leo Carlsson last year. Lekkerimäki is a strong canidate.

 

[Aahlstroem]

I'm gonna make a truly wild guess and say that Max Friberg is a lock.

New Hannula/Warg?

 

[Eye of Ra]

New Hannula/Warg?

Nah thats Dennis Rasmussen

Friberg is very gritty and has underated hands, he is a perfect 4th liner in a WC

Bengtsson - De la Rose - Friberg

 

[Eye of Ra]

Rakell - Eriksson Ek - Bratt
Marcus Johansson - Backlund - Burakovsky
A Nylander - Leo Carlsson - Holtz
Zetterlund - Eklund - Sundqvist

Dahlin - Adam Larsson
Marcus Pettersson - Karlsson
Brodin - Rasmus Andersson

Markström
Filip Gustavsson
Anton Forsberg

With current standings, best case scenario. Deep team. Just roll 4 even lines. If we can get this players, there is no need for any SHLer and NLAer

Eriksson Ek is sooooo underrated. God damn that man is a player.

I pick Wallstedt instead of Forsberg, and what about Simon Holmstrom, is he cracking this lineup?

If Islanders dont make it then Holmström, Engvall and Aho are options.

 

[Eye of Ra]

So Öhgren has 12 pts in his last 10 SHL games

Do Hallam have the balls to go with a Öhgren - Östlund - Lekkerimäki line in Tre Kronor? If we dont get many NHLers, such a line would be a perfect 3th line. Why not?

I prefer having young, future best-on-best players on the team rather than tired SHL veterans. It is good for their development to play international hockey. If we don't get a core of NHLers, were not going far, doesn't matter if we have Marcus Sörensen or Liam Öhgren in the top-6 so might as well pick the younglings. In the best case scenarios they are 13, 14th forward come the knock-out round.

 

[Playmaker82]

With a World Cup and Olympics coming the next years I would think that all the kids from last years Djurgården should come the the WC this year. Lekkerimaki, Öhgren og Östlund played in the same team last year and have chemistry, and they will get a good learning experience if they come to the WC in Prague as 3.line or just reserves also for the experience itself. Together with Carlsson they could be the core of Sweden in a few years together with som NHL-ers.

 

[Eye of Ra]

How about Elias Salomonsson? He has outshined Pellika in SHL since WJC. He has a very mature style.

And does the old man, Strålman, still have what it takes?

 

[Liga]

Would you prefer Lekkerimäki over Holtz

I wanted Lekkerimäki in WC roster in Swedish troops winning silver or bronze why not gold medal right players from NHL will be USA or Sweden WC title. European-skaters mix with NHL American-skaters. Goligoski is a player in NT and need 6, 7, 8 NHLers and 3, 4, 5 slopes in good-class and a goalie in world-class.

Gold favorites 2024:

1 USA 2 Sweden 3 Czech Republic 4 Finland 5 Canada 6 Switzerland 7 France 8 Italy 9 Great Britain 10 Poland and Russia miss WC.

None wants Germany peeling.

 

[Liga]

Whatever if we are a Gold canidate or not, it remains to see what kind of roster we are gonna have.

Lindberg and Sörensen holds up well level.

 

[Liga]

Lekkerimäki are right to this year tournament, he also play NHL 24-25 this year.

I think Salomonsson could be a great addition.

not in top 6, they are fine in bottom 6. WC is not EHT.

But Lindberg won scoring league in regular season.

Sweden need this hockey player in WC.

im fine with him on the team, but not in top 6. We need good NHLers in top 6 to get a medal.
