Jets is playing Gustafsson 6 minutes per game, he's more than likely getting released.

5 days between end of U18 camp, and first pre-world juniors game vs. Czechs, so could mean nothing.

 

[Svanstrom]

Names are clickable and linked to their eliteprospects page.

I'd be alright with those lines, especially the top lines. However I'm sure that Montén will play Höglander on the first line with Fagemo, becuase Montén has no sence on how to balance a team.

 

[Svanstrom]

This is imo the best team we can ice right now:
Jonathan Berggren - David Gustavsson - Samuel Fagemo
Alexander Holtz - Jacob Olofsson - Lucas Raymond
Nils Höglander - Nikola Pasic - Simon Holmström
Carl Jakobsson - Oscar Bäck - Carl Berglund

Rasmus Sandin - Adam Boqvist
Philip Broberg - Nils Lundkvist
Tobias Björnfot - Victor Söderström

Hugo Alnefelt
Erik portillo

Carl Berglund is 3rd in points among U20 players in NCAA.

Carl Berglund is 3rd in points among U20 players in NCAA.

Yep, 3 points behind Cole Caufield in the same amount of games. That should not be taken lightly, that's also why I have him on the team without really knowing anything about the guy.

 

[newfy]

How big of a role is Berggren expected to play? I see hes being pencilled in on the top line right now. Will he be playing first PP and things like that?

Seems like hes heating up at the right time for Sweden and his stats are looking pretty good in the SHL right now. I havent got to watch him this year so I figured some people in here will have more insight

I fully expect him to be our best forward 5 on 5.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

lets go!!

 

[Eye of Ra]

looks like holtz is injured

 

[Prntscrn]

looks like holtz is injured

We'll see in about 10 minutes. He got up fairly quick and skated off on his own though so hopefully he's ok


Edit: Yes. He didn't return for the third period

 

[theslatcher]

He was able to skate to the bench by himself, so hopefully it's just minor.

[Star Ocean]

with holtz maybe out for tournament, i hope atleast monten is selecting Gunler.

Spoiler: He won't.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

On the other hand Holtz isn’t a major blow this year if he misses. Sad of course, but not the difference between gold or not. It would be a lot worse if he’s out next year or the year after when he’s expected to dominate. I don’t expect that from him this year.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Sportbladet: Albin Eriksson is in

Busens revansch – uttagen till Juniorkronorna

 

[Star Ocean]

Spoiler: He won't.

Of course, we will be crippled offensively.

 

[McCullogh]

Im curious wheter Linus Öberg will get in. He has looked quite solid this year in Örebro, but as he hasnt been mentioned to much earlier and this is his last chance I guess Montén might have other options.

Have a hard time seeing him make it. He's a winger, never played on an international team before, and his SHL play isn't exactly screaming "pick me".

They're waiting to add the last forward, and last dmen.

 

[Paralyzer008]

That leaves two open spots at D and one open spot at forward.

One of Soderstrom, Sandin or Boqvist isn't coming.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Nässen & Öberg,?? Simon holmström?
NO Victor södeström.

Monten what are u doin

 

[theslatcher]

Ginning over Söderström is such a Montén move.

 

[FinPanda]

Lul that Ginning move was so called by you guys. Props.
