WJC: 2020 Team Sweden Roster Talk

[theslatcher]

Which tournament am I thinking of? Could have sworn I saw him in an international game

He played at the WJSS this summer along with the 4-nations(?) one after that. IIRC he played one tournament last season but can't remember which one.

 

[Svanstrom]

You mean in this seasons' 2 U20 tournaments?

Also Bäck is really invisible, not sure why you put him with either of them.

Montén loves Bäck and Ginning like they are his own children.

Don't really mind Ginning if he's on a 3rd pairing with PK time. I think there are better options but I don't think he'll make or break this team in a role like that. Unfortunately Montén sees him as a minute eating D-man who should be up against the best opposition lines, that's a bit problematic.

No I don't mind Ginning either. Just saying that Montén has a thing for him and Bäck. And yes I agree.
For me it's quite obvious that Sandin, Boqvist, Lundkvist, Broberg, Söderström, Björnfot are all better. Which would put Ginning at 7th D-man at best.

How was Wilsby doing in the national team?
He seem to be steaming in Södertälje with 9 points in 8 games. Pretty decent for a d-man, in one of the worst teams of the league.

he is better than ginning .

After a slow start Jacob Olofsson has really started to heat up, if he can keep this up hopefully that carries over the WJC's. If you count SHL + Champions league games, he started the season with 0 pts in 11 games and in the next 10 games he's got 8 pts.

Adam Ginning have been around like forever (and played against everyone) and will do fine. Here's some Ginning stats:

2015-16 Sweden U17 WHC-17 6 0 0 0 10

2016-17 Sweden U18 WJC-18 7 0 1 1 8 -2

2017-18 Sweden U18 “C” WJC-18 7 1 3 4 18 7

2018-19 Sweden U20 WJC-20 4 0 0 0 2 0

2019-20 Sweden U20 WJC-20 ?

When is the team announced?

Last year it was 5th of Dec.

 

[backhandsauce]

Broberg a lock?

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

Broberg a lock?

As one of five possible returning players on D, I'm 99% sure Broberg will be at the WJCs.

 

[Petr Cejka]

What about Elmer"monster" Soderblom? one of the best in U20 league.

Several wingers would have to get injured. He's not much of a monster anyway, more like the friendly giant.

Names are clickable and linked to their eliteprospects page.

Wouldn't complain about this roster. Nordlinder deserves a spot but the defense is pretty much set.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Is Soderstrom expected to be back? Anybody have specifics on his injury?

EDIT- Nevermind, looks like he's playing today for Brynas in light duty.

 

[romelson]

Berggren scored in SHL today, but later in the game he left with some sort of injury. No reports yet on the injury.

No more injuries, please

Anton Heikkinen with 9 goals in Allsvenskan. We could always use a sniper.

Albert Johansson been playing really good with Färjestad, he is like twice the player Ginning is.

What about Elmer"monster" Soderblom? one of the best in U20 league.

I dont know. On one hand i want a physical 4th line with Grewe - Soderblom - Wernblom....but on the other hand i want more skilled players so that we have 4 lines that can score.

Good player, lock next year.

 

[romelson]

Local newspaper now reports the Berggren injury is day-to-day. So thats hopeful for WJC.
Article behind paywall, so I cant reach it. I think the injury was arm or hand, due to a slashing.

Soderblom scores enough for that line alone
