WC: WC: 2024 Team Sweden Roster Talk

[theslatcher]

That's just the Swedish interview with him translated to Finnish, and some added optimism from Miikka next to the quote, haha.

He always says he'd be happy to, that his wife tells him he should play, it's been a while, etc... Then he doesn't come even with his wife pushing him to go.

Erik Karlsson will probably be seen at the World Cup this spring.

"I'll have a few pilsners and relax for a couple of days. We'll see how I feel, but I'm excited about the World Cup."


Well, we have already seen this in the past to no avail, if I was a Swede I would not get ahead of myself until I see him wearing that jersey.

I have a feeling there will usual wave of declines for Sweden, seems like it does not matter if Hallam is a coach or somebody else

Swedish and Finnish NHL players do not like to go to the World championship and it does not matter in which country it takes place, whether beer is delicious in this country, whether the girls there are beautiful, which coach leads the team, etc. The result will always be the same.

All swedish players went under Rickard Gronborg

Jesper Bratt tackar nej till hockey-VM

Sam Hallam hade hoppats på stjärnförstärkning till hockey-VM. Men Sportbladet kan avslöja att det kanske tyngsta namnet av dem alla tackat nej. Jesper Bratt kom

www.aftonbladet.se

Bratt declines, as expected.

NHL-stjärnan klar för VM: ”Jag åker”

Seattle Kraken avslutade NHL:s grundserie med en 4–3-seger på bortaplan mot Minnesota Wild i natt, svensk tid. Det blir dock inget slutspel i år för fjolårets skrällgäng, som slog ut regerande Stanley Cupmästarna Colorado Avalanche i första omgången. Men en av lagets svenskar spelar vidare i...

[weklof]

So far:

Confirmed accepts:
Rasmus Dahlin
André Burakovsky

Confirmed declines:
Adam Larsson
Rasmus Andersson
Jesper Bratt
Jacob Markström

 

[weklof]

Raymond seems like he'd go if he gets his contract done in time:

" Defenseman Moritz Seider (Germany) and forward Lucas Raymond (Sweden) said they would like to play if their contracts are completed in time."

They played their final games last night, usually these questions happen during/shortly after locker cleanout days.

Great work! Shocking!

 

[Eye of Ra]

I will be pissed off if Zetterlund dont get a invite. He had 44 points in a shit team while being a strong gritty player.

You know how such stories end. The contract is usually signed after the World Cup.

 

[Playmaker82]

Backlund still undecided.

 

[Janvonpobben]

backlund is washed up. waste of a spot

 

[Playmaker82]

Kylington is not coming.

 

[weklof]

Tim Heed has been looking good in these two games vs Finland. He can probably punch his ticket for the WC unless we get 6 NHLers om D, which is looking unlikely at this point

 

[theslatcher]

Eriksson Ek my boy! (Only need to pass medicals is my guess)

 

[weklof]

Eriksson Ek my boy! (Only need to pass medicals is my guess)

Great news! Getting 1C was top of the priority list

 

[m4tt145]

Nice!!

 

[m4tt145]

No Backlund according to Dusan.
