buffalos general manager said that olofsson and asplund will play for team sweden in world championship. i do not trust these north americans. i will wait on swehockey to confirm elias pettersson and when they do i will celebrate with a beer .
Cuts use to sound like this:
"Lias Andersson and Erik Gustafsson dropped last minute, Anton Lander and Robert Hägg is in".
"Greenberg wants more physicality on defense and more puck possession skills up front, also Patrik Zackrisson takes Carl Söderbergs spot".

I have no problems getting both of them, we will (likely) bring 14 forwards after all. If Landeskog and Pettersson(looks like a done deal) come like you suggest, we could have Söderberg as 3C and Lander as 4C(or the other way around) and bump Larsson to 13F, since both are IMO better than him. History tells us someone gets injured along the way.
What I think they are doing now is that they wait out the first round completely. They're inviting Landeskog right away of course, but wanna see if they can get either of Bäckström or Nylander, or maybe Wennberg before locking up the entire squad.
I think Nemeth would be a good one to throw onto the 3rd pair. Would complement the other guys nicely. Gustafsson - Nemeth is a good 3rd pairing.

it sounded from that hockeynews article that grey beard wanted both hägg and nemeth....perhaps he wants a pure shutdown 3rd pairing....hägg-nemeth

No he didn't.
What he said was:
"We're actually hopeful that both of them could be possible players on the world championship team," Botterill said. "Neither of them would be able to come over to Rochester until that situation ends at the world championship there."

I haven't seen that much of Hägg this season, but is he really a shutdown player now? And is he that good to go straight onto the team? They've snubbed guys like Claesson, Fantenberg, Folin, Dahlbeck already and I would very much put him in the same category. But they know a little bit more about how the team is shaping now which could be to Hägg's advantage.

Is Janmark expected to play?
TSN's writeup has him both on the roster, and declining the invite.

so hägg it is...
Även Philadelphia-backen Robert Hägg är VM-aktuell.
– ”Robban” spelade de sista två matcherna. Han fick väl spela sparsamt i går, men mer matchen innan. Det är en spelare som vi gillar, säger Grönborg.
lindholm - klingberg
oel - larsson
gustafsson - hägg

Yeah things changed along the way. The roster that TSN lists is the one that will play in the Sweden Hockey Games this weekend from Thursday to Sunday. Outside of that team, Hampus Lindholm, Rakell and Nyquist are confirmed additions.
From the interview I read with Grönborg it sounded like he is going to invite Elias. I’m not going to trust Bennings word until I see Grönborg confirm it.
I probably would have gone with Folin over Hägg. But I can understand why Grönborg wants Hägg it probably helps to have a guy you already know.

wasnt hägg the guy who messed up two WJC finals in a row?
I think it is smart by benning to put some pressure on grönborg. Swedish news media are writing this as news now. Grönborg would look dumb if Elias isnt invited.
I remember one mess up at least can’t remember the other one. The first one is vivid was it against Ristolainen? I don’t want to rewatch that moment.

I think Swedish media handle that just fine themselves.. Earlier today I saw Sanny Lindström write that Grönborg should be fired and will worsen his chances to become an NHL coach(lol) if he doesn't invite Pettersson.
