More ice time, better production/development = higher chance of the into a position where Team Sweden is a possibility. He knows he's not getting a spot even from a EHT team while playing in Finland. He could score 50 goals next season and wouldn't get a look. We've seen how it goes in the past. Guys like Malte Strömwall that have dominated the finnish league, only get a chance when they return to Sweden or sign in Russia or Switzerland. That's becose the swedish hockey system/media need to have a narrative where finnish hockey is garbage.Swedish invasion keeps going.
Lars Bryggman and Peter Andersson to Pelicans.
Tommi Niemelä Headcoach of Pelicans said: Bryggman coming to Finland because he wants to take next step and play for Team Sweden.
Reason i question it is because Bryggman is very mediocre, there is no way he will ever play for Team Sweden, not even in EHT.More ice time, better production/development = higher chance of the into a position where Team Sweden is a possibility.

It's mainly just hockey yargon. Many north americans that come from a ECHL background as 25 year olds say that the NHL is their goal, even though most know thats never gonna happen. Allthough Justin Danforth did prove that it is possible.Reason i question it is because Bryggman is very mediocre, there is no way he will ever play for Team Sweden, not even in EHT.
Liiga is good, but somehow swedish NT coaches always ignore that league. They are doing the same with DEL.
I wonder what the all-time record for Swedes in Liiga is?Stefan Warg to KooKoo. Another swede. 27 swedes in Liiga right now.
96-97 i thinkI wonder what the all-time record for Swedes in Liiga is?
