Mr. Preachy
We don't have anyone who is looking to make Team Canada, right?
Wonder if one or both of Day or Gettinger will make USA. Prelim roster for USA is revealed tomorrow.
I would assume Andersson makes Sweden. Think he has a pretty good shot at getting the 'C' too. When is their roster being revealed?

No, maybe Wall if he had a great start to the season, but otherwise, not.
Chytil and Andersson, 50/50 one of Day or Gettinger make it, Gettinger probably more likely. Sjalin probably should make the Swedish team, but their older players will get priority, so he won't make it. I think he has a good chance to make it next year. Reunanen deservedly left off the Finnish team.

With his injuries i'd say there's no chance Själin makes Sweden, we're VERY deep on D. If he stayed healthy then he'd be in with a shout definitely.
Sadly Uffe Bodin thinks neither Olofsson nor Hållander makes the team either, which would be sad
Here's Uffes roster for Sweden: UFFE BODIN: Min JVM-trupp 2018

Won't make it due to Moverare and Westerlund who both kind of suck, but maybe next year where Dahlin will be in the NHL, and potentially Liljegren, Boqvist and Brannstrom.

And they took no younger players. Really odd roster, but they did the same thing last year and won, so I won't question Motzko.
This is my team.
Mittelstadt-Brown-Yamamoto
Bellows-Poehling-Harper
Jones-Frederic-Anderson
Tkachuk-Norris-Lockwood
Tufte, this could be Badini, but I don't know why USA Hockey likes Badini, he kind of sucks.
Lindgren-Fox
Hughes-Peeke
Samberg-Walsh
Anderson, although I could see Perunovich making the team, but I think Hughes fills his roll and we don't need them both.
Oettinger
Woll
Swayman

Don't know, not for me to decide, I think Jones deserves a 3rd line role, Tkachuk a 4th line role. Tkachuk isn't really a skill guy, and is not doing as well this season as some predicted.

Everything about Jones screams lunchpail 4th line guy. Let’s just agree to disagree because I think Brady is miles better

This is the team I'd pick. Thoughts? Too talented of a team to pick?
Boqvist-Petterson-Nylander
Soderlund-Andersson-Lundestrom
Hallander-Olofsson-Elvenes
Jonsson Fjallby-Karlstrom-Davidsson
Zetterlund
Dahlin-Liljegren
Brannstrom-Hogberg
Moverare-Boqvist
Sellgren
Gustavsson
Eriksson Ek
Larsson
Tim Gettinger is a better hockey player then Max Jones. Jones is a nutjob who is prone to a game misconduct every shift and he's not good enough offensively to make up for it.
It's a nice team but yeah, not enough "meat and potatoes" players in there, especially for a Swedish team, we love those energy players.
Boqvist not among the 8 D-men picked for Sweden, so typically Sweden this, i hate it.
He's easily among the 8th best D-men available but because Dahlin, Liljegren and Brännström fills his "role" he's not on the roster, which is so stupid to me.

Typical Canadian WJC selection team.
There's a reason that they've won only once in 7 years despite owning the best pool of prospects in the world. And the year that they won, they needed McDavid.
