WC: WC: 2024 Team Sweden Roster Talk

[weklof]

he is not there now

Probably a mistake, EP is not that reliable for tournaments that haven't started. No media has reported that WK is joining and he has been battling injuries. Would be surprised if he joined

 

[krutais23]

Is there any news on who made the roster?

 

[weklof]

I recognize Linus Johansson and Marcus Sörensen in the images, so they are at least travelling to Ostrava

If I recognize the players correctly:
Pic 1: Linus Johansson, Marcus Johansson, Joel Eriksson Ek(?)
Pic 2: Zetterlund & Raymond
Pic 3: Brodin & Pettersson
Pic 4: Karlsson, Sörensen and Zetterlund

Nice with FUS! Disappointed they cut, Holtz, would've rather had him then Olofsson. But Holtz had a try-out and wasnt overly impressive

Every coach has his Euro darlings. With Garpen it was C. Klingberg, Rasmussen, de la Rose, Tömmernes.

For Hallam it seems to be Sörensen and L. Johansson

Not the point. The point is they’re playing ”Safe” with players we’ve seen time and time again simply isn’t what team sweden needs to function on the international stage (Limpan, Sören and Bengtsson). Why does the ”safe” option need to be something that obviously isn’t cut out for the role they’re being given? It defeats the purpose. If your safe options aren’t safe then you’re better off gambling. Hallams brain is stuck in the SHL what’s safe and reliable there isn’t safe and reliable here. Oh well.

One can only hope..

Här är Tre Kronors lag till VM 2024

Tre Kronor spelar VM-premiär på fredag – med 17-NHL-spelare i truppen. Under onsdagseftermiddagen presenterade förbundskaptenen Sam Hallam sitt lag till turneringen i Tjeckien. Då tog 18-årige Felix Unger Sörum plats i truppen. – Han är en väldigt spännande spelare, säger förbundskaptenen Sam...

www.expressen.se

Hallam:

Vi ger det någon dag till. Alla är inte på plats än. LA-killarna landar i morgon, samma med Hedman. Till att börja med måste vi se vilka som är på plats. Fredag lunch har vi en klar bild över vilka vi anmäler men vi har 25 spelare i truppen som fyller alla boxar

 

[FinPanda]

Wouldn't have expected Holtz to be cut.

 

[krutais23]

One can only hope..

Maybe they are waiting for Pettersson or Zibanejad, Ekholm maybe

 

[Eye of Ra]

Wouldn't have expected Holtz to be cut.

Well. He was not good in Czech Hockey Games.

Burakovsky - Eriksson Ek - Raymond
Kempe - Lundeström - Zetterlund
M Johansson - Holmberg - FUS
Friberg - L Johansson - Grundström
Frödén

Dahlin - Hedman
Pettersson - Karlsson
Brodin - Bengtsson
Heed

Gustavsson

Yes Kempe on second line because we are short of depth

Holmberg should be 2C. He is better than Lundström.

 

[Eye of Ra]

They set the roster? No slots open?
Limpan and Sören jeeeesus christ.

Sörensen is speedy, physical and is better defensivly than he gets credit for. He is fine on a 4th line.

 

[EK47]

You and I have not been watching the same games.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Hallam might use M Johansson as a winger beside JEE. They played together in Minnesota.

 

[Eye of Ra]

You and I have not been watching the same games.

If he is in our Top 9 im gonna get mad. I think Hallam wants him to take Nygårds spot beside Limpan and Friberg.

 

[joe89]

Probably going in with 23 players on Friday, the goalies, 7D and 13 F. Most of the team is set but no reason to register the bench warmers.

 

[VictorLustig]

Complaining about the selection of 4th line wingers? Good sign I’d say.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Must be nice to complain about the bottom forwards. For the most part Sweden is bringing an A roster - particularly with regards to the defense corps.

Have you seen the USA roster?

[theslatcher]

So, players in the POs:

Boston (H.Lindholm, Ullmark, J.Boqvist)
Florida (Forsling, OEL, Stenlund)
Series ending: 12-19th

Canes (Fast)
Rags (Zibanejad, Wennberg, E.Gustafsson)
Series ending if Rags lose: 16-18th

Avs ()
Stars (Lundkvist)

Canucks (EP40, Höglander, E.Lindholm)
Oilers (Ekholm, Janmark)
Series ending: 14-20th

Bolded: FA/Injured

---

Boston/Florida will make a premier defenseman available unless they're injured.

If you want reinforcements at forward then root for Rags and/or Nucks to lose.

The group stage at Worlds end on the 21st and the playoffs start on the 23rd.

Have you seen the USA roster?

Have you seen Sörensen and Linus Johansson play?

I know. Shame about Larkin. Also Canada WTF? Cut Fantilli and add PLD?!

In all seriousness I’m pretty excited to see Karlsson finally play for Sweden.
