Player Discussion: U-18 WJC Roster (18-28 april, Sochi)

Rewatched parts of the game. Another thing I noticed is our top centers (VCR and Wallmark) are pretty slow. Nylander, Burakowsky and De la Rose were pretty much alone once they got to the offensive zone.

Grönborg is such a loser. Things are not looking great for our WJC team next year. The federation chose the easy way of hiring a new head coach, wonder what the consequences will be in Malmö.

I think they main problem of the offense was that the centers weren't good enough. These guys are decent prospect but nowhere close past years with guys like Larsson, Rask, Karlsson, Zibanejad, Lindholm.

Anyway we should field a strong team next tournament. 6 players eligible to return + 96 class is good.

Interesting that this guy: Fredrik Olofsson has been selected to camp in may. 69 pts in 31 games with Colorado Thunderbirds 16 (mm).
