WJC: Sweden 2018 Roster Talk

[Prntscrn]

A line of Fjällby-Davidsson-Söderlund is intriguing. So much speed and energy. Other teams won't know what hit them

 

[LeafChief]

What is the D going to look like?

Dahlin - Liljegren
Boqvist?

Just coming from the Färjestad-Djurgården game, I have to agree hehe

 

[VictorLustig]

Will be interesting to see how the defensive pairs shape up. Dahlin, Brännström, Liljegren, Högberg and Moverare are locks to make it. Dahlin-Almqvist has been one of the best pairs in the SHL, the closest thing we have would be Dahlin-Brännström. Högberg has been excellent this season, I would try him with Liljegren.

I agree it will be interesting. Aren't Dahlin and Brannstrom both LHD?

Might be good for Sweden to keep both on their natural side, and pair one with Liljegren who is an RHD, if that's the case.

Yes, but we don't have any good RHD's outside of Liljegren. I would hate to see Liljegren, Dahlin and Brännström on separate pairs, paired with a "stay at home" D. It looks good in theory but almost never works, play talent with talent.

With Bratt, J. Boqvist and Nylander all potentially unavailable or out, I imagine Söderlund will be needed in the top-6, but I think Fabian Zetterlund would be an interesting right winger for that line.

 

[jfc64]

Double shift Elias and Nylander on separate lines and use two defense lines only. Then we will win, easily.

Dahlin - Boqvist
Brännström - Liljegren

 

[EK47]

Offense is gonna have to rely on like two players, three if by some miracle we get Nylander. Otherwise Pettersson and Andersson are gonna have to be godlike. Oh and Dahlin - Liljegren are gonna have a lot of helping out to do.

 

[DDRhockey]

Boqvist should be back

 

[VictorLustig]

Thought Sellgren and Karlström looked really good against the Russians.

 

[VictorLustig]

Jesper Emanuelsson is looking really, really good in the SHL. One of Frölunda's best forwards last game with Montén in the stands. Think he could thrive at the WJC in a depth role.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Is there any word out of Sweden whether Boqvist has started light puck drills yet?

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Positivie news about Jesper Boqvist he's getting closer and closer to a comeback:

Practicing in non-contact jersey

Sista Snacket

 

[DDRhockey]

Tomas monten is not a good coach

 

[EK47]

Any word on Söderlund yet? That blow his knee took yesterday did not look good.

EDIT: Listened to the post-game where Skellefteås head-coach said his knee seemed fine and he seemed to have sustained a charley-horse.

 

[DDRhockey]

Losing bratt and nylander will be big blows.

 

[VictorLustig]

Losing bratt and nylander will be big blows.

Wouldn't rule either of them out.

 

[EK47]

Wouldn't rule either of them out.

Bratt is getting a bulk of the PK minutes and still plays top 6. He's not going to play in the world juniors. Nylander on the other hand..

You got another month, this stuff changes quickly.

I wouldn't be sure yet, Bratt is struggling of late.

 

[DDRhockey]

Who are our defensemen after the big 4?

 

[VictorLustig]

Who are our defensemen after the big 4?

I see 5 guys who are absolute locks. Dahlin, Liljegren, Brännström, Moverare and Högberg. Then there is Sellgren who I think makes it. Need another RHD for the last spot, Gustav Lindström or Adam Boqvist should be strong considerations there.

 

[Eye of Ra]

whats the deal with moverare? why is he a lock? his stats is not very good...

1+17 in 22 games is in my opinion a good number for a D. Sure he has an -4 rating but almost everyone on his team is negative in that aspect. My guess is that he plays alot to.

 

[My3Sons]

You got another month, this stuff changes quickly.

I wouldn't be sure yet, Bratt is struggling of late.

I'm curious why you think so and if there is any reason other than scoring numbers?
