We start early as usual. WJC soon over. Another great tournament by the swedish boys.

The only player not making it due to NHL duties would be Hampus Lindholm IMO. We are VERY deep at forwards this year. Left out are players like Andreas Johnson, Erik Karlsson, Rydahl, Brodecki, Hedberg, Kalin to name a few. Defense looks like a weakness this year too. Hägg should be the go-to-guy with Lindholm in the NHL. The other defenders are good but nothing special, other than possibly late 96-born Rasmus Andersson who's doing very well in SEL-2 already now.
Goalies should be better this year though. With Dansk as #1 and Högberg as #2 Sweden have very very solid goaltending. I guess they will bring the best 95-born keeper as #3 to gain some experience.
Overall, a slightly better team than this year IMO.
Forsberg - Lindholm - De La Rose
Wennberg - Nylander - Collberg
Burakovsky - Crus-Rydberg/Wallmark - Sörensen
Possler - Sandberg - Sundqvist/Zaar/Strömwall/Lindblom
Hägg - C. Andersson
Byström - R. Anderson
Arnesson - J. Bergman
Djoos
In the mix:
Cederholm
Krupic
J. Pettersson
W. Westlund
Dansk
Högberg
imo the 95 guys should play the U18 tournament in Jönköping instead, where is Rydahl, Fernholm??
Here is the Team 19 selection:
Greetings instead creating new thread I thought I would post in this one. Some friends and I are planning on going to Sweden for world JRs this year and I was wondering about using my time as well to check out Sweden. I was wondering about ideas where to visit places to see. Also I am very interested in going to SEL game or games while visiting.
