Stenberg-Dower Nilsson-Nordh
Forsfjäll-Edstrom-Pettersson
Carlsson-Johansson-Sagranden
Nilsson-Vuollet-Sörum Unger
Lindstein-Sandin Pellikka
Bergström-Willander
Burger-Landén
Dower Nilsson has 31 points at 16 games in J20, he has really started good, so if he keeps performing i want him on the first line. My roster is almost the same as Hlinka roster, because they got to the final.

Not too fond of the Swedish 05's to be honest. I see few potential NHL stars, but then again.. it is pretty early. Dower-Nilsson's season is spectacular, but his skating stride will scare off many teams.. unless he shows considerable improvement this season.
Stenberg's mediocre production is surprising, considering he has been absolutely lethal in the past, especially with the national team.
Defenseman Sandin-P is the one I like the most after Stenberg. Doing great this season too.

Yeah same. In
yeah same. I have said this is a weaker age group. I believe Stenberg and Sandin-Pellikka is the only ones ranked A in the ranking list

Filip Ekberg already doing good in J20 playing on a shit team. Maybe not ready to be a top player on this level yet, but could be a exotic 13th forward.

I would take Alex Zetterberg instead. 26 points in J20 so far, and he's a 06.
But it would be very interesting and fun if Ekberg made the team as 2 year younger than the rest

I like Ekberg, but to be honest.. on most teams he would play J18 and not J20. But playing for Almtuna, and continue doing so next season, is a great decision IMO. Will be a force at J20 level next season and I wouldn't surprise me if he got his fair share of HockeyAllsvenskan action too.
Don't think a 07 will make this team, but Alexander Zetterberg, Karl Sterner, Alfons Freij probably have a decent shot from the 06 group.
Haven't checked the scheduling and how it conflicts with SHL playoffs etc, but I am guessing Stenberg, Sandin Pellikka and Theo Lindstein could potentially all miss the tournament due to being with the men's teams.

I like this team. Good depth on defence and attack. I just wished We had one more safe first rounder forward but this team can go far

Ekberg on 4th line? He had a hattrick today in Allsvenskan....he is a man for our top 6 for sure.

Yeah i know, just for the first 2 games too see how he does, if he plays better than the top guys i want him at top 6.
I want him at PP1 tho
Think we should keep the Stenberg-Forsfjall-Nordh line together, they were good last tournament. Like your idea of a N.Dower Nilsson - Edstrom - Wahlberg as the second line. Put Ekberg in the third line for the first game and as you said give him PP1 time, move him up if he does well.
Dower Nilsson has played wing all year. Why suddenly put him att center at the U18 WJC?
Ekberg might get a chance on the second or third line. I believe Wahlberg was better playing with Felix and Felix, because Wahlberg and Dower Nilsson both need the puck, so Ekberg could potentially play with Edstrom and Dower Nilsson. What speaks against Ekberg making the team is that he has never been on this team and has only one good showing in Alllsvenskan against a mediocre team with not much to play for. His U20 numbers are good but not staggering. It will be really interesting to see what Ekberg does going forward! He should get a chance to play in the U18 WJC since I believe Sweden is going with 14 forwards. Not much to lose!

Shame there is no tournament before the U18 WJC, because Ekberg would most likely have been tested and we (and the management) would know for sure if he is someone for the team. Interesting to see what will happen now.
Having seen more or less all his Sweden U16 games with the national team this season... he has been good....but in no way dominant, other than maybe on the man advantage. That is against players his own age.

Agree, he was decent in the national team, but still the player with the most points. The top 07 guys should have done better vs Finland and czech republic. Next tournament Will be played in sweden 13 april. So Ekberg Will probably play there

So, only 2005, predictable I guess
Johansson and Pettersson aswell as Sagadin are there, so, all our top players will play

Felix Nilsson fractured his wrist against Frölunda last week. Out 6-8 weeks.
