WC: Team Sweden Roster

[DDRhockey]

And tomorrow against Czechia.

Elias isnt playing though

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Elias isnt playing though

But hes playing Sat and Sun ?

 

[joe89]

Elias isnt playing though

Okay but believe it or not other players are trying to make the team too

 

[joe89]

Who is your favorite "4th liner" out of the European guys?

The list:
Carl Klingberg
John Norman
Dennis Everberg
Patrik Zackrisson
Axel Jonsson Fjällby

It's unlikely more than one, or in best case two, of them cracks the top-12 and opening squad.

For me it's Zackrisson first(since he can also play center) and Klingberg second. They're also the only right-handed grinders on the team.

 

[DDRhockey]

Axel Jonsson Fjällby is the only one with potential.

 

[Elvs]

Axel Jonsson Fjällby is the only one with potential.

Great, let's hope he reaches it within the next month.

 

[joe89]

Axel Jonsson Fjällby is the only one with potential.

A spot on the 4th line really isn't about potential.

Seven years ago Carl Klingberg was the prospect Jonsson Fjällby is now.. Arguably better actually.

 

[Eye of Ra]

I don't know... rather have neither. Hägg is not a good defenseman at this level.

hägg has been playing in nhl all season long.....he must have quality to be able to do that.

Klingberg and Fjällby.

I really dislike Norman.

No, Hägg would not be more than a 2nd pair defenseman in the SHL. He's only in the NHL due to the right circumstances.

ok i admit i only want him on the team because he is very physical.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Hägg's skating barely even holds up on a small ice surface.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Alex Wennberg!

Edit: Already declined

Wennberg has been at AHL quality this season.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Kempe & Elias wont play tonight

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

I think Carl Klingberg should make the final roster, and it would be fun to watch Jonsson-Fjällby at the WCs.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Toronto is out. Nylander will probaly decline. Andreas johnsson is a intresting player. Borgman is better than hägg.

Andreas Johnsson will be sent down to Marlies.

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

I believe Borgman is playing in the AHL playoffs.

 

[Bear12Good]

Toronto is out. Nylander will probaly decline. Andreas johnsson is a intresting player. Borgman is better than hägg.

Why? Nylander too good or too old for Team Sweden?)

 

[IceBjoern]

Contract situation..

 

[Hybbe]

Backlund named captain.

C Backlund
A OEL
A Klingberg (John)

 

[Eye of Ra]

if landeskog and nylander declines then we have to call in södersoft.

andreas johnsson and borgman in ahl? and...? they could get
released for this tournament.

Rakell - Zibanejad - Kempe
Nyquist - Backlund - Elias Pettersson
Janmark - Södersoft - Johnsson
JDLR - Larsson - Pääjärvi
Zackrisson, Lias

Lindholm - Klingberg
OEL - Larsson
Gustafsson - Borgman

 

[DDRhockey]

What is landeskog waiting for?

 

[theslatcher]

Borgman has only played 1 AHL playoff game, he's probably banged up and I'd rather not invite him even if he wasn't. Johnsson has an expiring contract, so he won't accept(same with Nylander ofc).

Landeskog is getting married in the summer, hopefully he accepts.

The ones that won't accept if they get knocked out in the second round due to injuries are: Hagelin, Hörnqvist, Järnkrok & Burakovsky.

The one that won't accept if they he gets knocked out in the second round due to expiring contracts is: William Karlsson.

So, the only ones that should be asked if they get knocked out in the second round are; Forsberg, Arvidsson, Ekholm, Hedman, Strålman, Bäckström, & possibly Djoos.

What is landeskog waiting for?

A quicker release.
