WC: WC: 2024 Team Sweden Roster Talk

[Eye of Ra]

Alright, time for Sweden to get its own thread. Sam Hallam did a great job last years EHT and this years EHT aswell. And in WC until qf, he was acting weird against Latvia, benching Berggren.

His buddy Rahm is one of the assistents. Last time Sweden got past qf, was in 2018, that is insane.

If Silfverberg gets a invite, i will starve myself to death outside Team Sweden headquarters as a protest, chained to a tree, naked.

NHL teams with next to no chance to make POs:

Chicago (A.Söderblom)
Anaheim (Carlsson, Lundeström, Lindström, Silfverberg)
San Jose (Eklund, Zetterlund)
Ottawa (Brännström, A.Forsberg)
Columbus (A.Boqvist)

Bold = FA, LTI, or rookie.

Slim pickins so far.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

With best-on-best tournaments announced I dont think we will see a strong roster at Skoda Cup. Young guns like Eklund & Carlsson would be nice.

Hopefully SJ & ANA don't Detroit/Buffalo them.

I want Carlsson, Eklund, Zetterlund. All 3 of them have contract for next season and are young, they are realistic adds

Not sure about anyone else of the players u mention. Are Boqvist and Brännström better than Persson, Heed, Tömmernäs, Pudas. I doubt it

No need for Lindström, Lundeström, Silfverberg, Forsberg, Söderblom, We have better in Europe

From SHL i think Östlund and Lekkerimäki is closest to a spot among young guns

Sweden players:

Folin

Rasmussen
Sörensen
Lindberg
M.Sylvegård
Nygård

Ready.

Also half dozen from SHL.

Over ten from NHL?

A gold medal roster?

Rasmussen and Folin? Are u trying to piss me off?

Whatever if we are a Gold canidate or not, it remains to see what kind of roster we are gonna have.

Rasmussen is a regular for every world tournament game for Sweden.

A big star in Europe.

His sixth world tournament this year I know about.

Coach must have Folin this year.

Folin best slope in SHL.

Rasmussen is never good in WC. And he is not a star in NLA, he is not producing much points. Folin is great in SHL, but sucks everytime with the NT. We have better options than this 2 guys.

 

[Bijelo]

Leo Carlsson and Jakob Silfverberg well reinforcements.

Remaining Swedes are poop.

Better Swedes to call on.

Rangers will get long playoffs?

Rangers have Mika Zibanejad.

 

[Bijelo]

We have better options than this 2 guys.

Two slopes in SHL.

J.Persson > Växjö and Folin > Frölunda.

They play in next world championship.

Rasmussen quality player and coach realize.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Jakob Silfverberg well reinforcements.

0 points in 8 games past WC, he was terrible playing wise aswell. He is a shell of his former self

Rassmussen, they guy who cant even get over 25 points in NLA and has 5 points in 24 wc games is quality? Dont make me laugh

Rasmussen can play well. Rasmussen play well in euro hockey games.

Sure, but he is never good in WC. He is a grinder who is not physical, much rather have Bengtsson, Linus Johansson and De la Rose than him

 

[Bijelo]

De la Rose

Too old player?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Too old player?

he is 28, not 37

31 points this season, his best season ever, while being good defensivly, has size and is physical. He is the perfect 4th liner in a WC

 

[Garl]

Too old player?

5 years younger than Rasmussen

Well, maybe the opposite can be true. Maybe Hallam can entice "on the bubble" players with "you know it wouldn't hurt your chances to make the best-on-best team if you accept now"

I included all NHL regulars for those teams. Silf I'd never invite, last year he looked like he came directly from Hockeyettan. Lundeström I'd rather over 30+ yo's, but he's a FA.

I disagree on the dmen. Euro dmen have disappointed for several years now, while only "NHLers" to disappoint weren't really NHLers (Hägg, Nemeth).

Lundeström have not been good in nhl and he was bad in wc 2021. I agree about Hägg, he was awful but i think Nemeth was decent. When it comes to euro Ds i guess u are right, Boqvist and Brännström would be uppgrades, but Gustav Lindström i see as same as Gabriel Carlsson, Dahlström etc. You dont want Zetterlund?

 

[Eye of Ra]

19 goals in 41 SHL games - 4th in the league in goals. Lekkerimäki is pushing for a spot
