Bronze.

 

[Prntscrn]

And a new coach. Got zero respect for Grönborg and all his rages

I have a feeling Grönborg is going to stick for a while. Either he quits or gets promoted, that's how it works.

 

[KRM]

Kempe-Franzen-Lindblom
Lööke-Holmström-Timashov
Ahl-Stenlund-Grundström
Engvall-Eriksson Ek-Asplund
Karlsson/Ehn

Forsling-Englund
Kylington-Carlsson
Lagesson-Larsson
Lindgren/Andersson

Söderström
Sandström

Not counting on Nylander.

 

[Franck]

Yeah, I bet Nylander is in the NHL next year.

Should be an interesting squad though, especially as so many 96-born players had a prominent role this year.

There's some good competition for sure.

I think Lööke will have a great next season in Brynäs, he might be the star of our next WJC team!

Really liked him at WJC.

 

[PuckPoise]

Joel Eriksson Ek, Pierre Engvall and Albin Storm are two typical guys who they usually pick for bottom-6 roles.

Very tough on D, Gustav Bourraman, Markus Pettersson, Jacob Larsson and William Pethrus all look very good but what can you do with 4 guys returning + Kylington, Rasmus Andersson.

Lots of promising guys at all positions for '97, let's hope guys like Asplund and Lööke and the aforementioned defencemen can develop into real stars and go-to guys before 2017.

 

[VictorLustig]

I thought we lacked D that could move the puck this year. R. Andersson, Pettersson, Aho, Bouramman & Lindgren are definitely high end in that area. I'd rather see a group of skilled 2-way D instead of mixing in too many big physical players, it would be a much better fit to the style our team is supposed to play.

I also want to see some more speedy forwards next year.

 

[DSL]

I think Lööke will have a great next season in Brynäs, he might be the star of our next WJC team!

I really liked him this tournament, I think he showed some great instincts and played well overall, especially for a 17 year old. However I think Grundström has been better this season and I think he will be the more prominent player come next season.

But only time will tell.

Agree. Really like Grundström.

There is a U19 tournament coming up in early february. Interesting what the roster will looke like.

Even if no WJC players get invited, there's still quite a bit of good players available to build a strong team. Kylington, Kovacs, Pettersson, Ollas Mattsson, Grundström, Asplund, Ek Eriksson, Törnqvist, Forsberg and so on.

I know that he is a lock in Grönborgs mind, but I do not think that Anton Karlsson add anything unless he improve his game by a mile to next year. He was a very promising player and are still in many ways, but his devolopment have stop and gone in reverse. He should not have been in the team this year.

I would like to see Lang, speedy and very creative, fits probably very well in WJC.

Grundström is a lock right now, he is just a beast, and his playstyle could be useful.

Ottosson can be a surprise.

Decent. No -97s but a couple of WJC players instead.

 

[PuckPoise]

Think there will be more players from the U18 team also presented today than from that team.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

^ Some interesting names, Stenlund, Vejdemo, Bernhardt etc

 

[ulvvf]

No Pethrus in the U18 team? The only big surprise there I could see.

 

[SurMartin]

Nice to see Jesper Eriksson get a shot at it again. He hs worked crazy hard to get back from the injury in Ivan Hlinka.

 

[VictorLustig]

My dark horse for this tournament is Jesper Boqvist, if he can put on some weight in the summer.
