WJC: 2020 Team Sweden Roster Talk

Probably doesn't mean anything though.

I mean, he's only the Hawks' coach, he isn't the one making those decisions. If Keith comes back before the WJCs start(aka. Boqvist goes down to the farm again) then I think there's a good chance Boqvist goes.

Maatta is out as well, but expected back soon since it’s only flu like symptoms.

 

[JimboA]

Sandin posted a picture of himself in a Tre Kronor jersey on his IG story, so he's definitely coming.

 

[VictorLustig]

I think it's quite likely that Montén brings in Filip Johansson if Boqvist doesn't come.

Henriksson has been pretty badly outscored by Hugo Gustafsson, playing for the same team. I think that's the center they will bring in if the other Gustafsson isn't released.

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

If Henriksson makes the final roster, I think chemistry/familiarity (since he has also spent time with Frölunda's junior team) will be an important factor. I'm assuming Raymond will return to health in time for the tournament.

I can definitely see Filip Johansson and Hugo Gustafsson being late additions to the team, especially Johansson seems like someone Montén would like to have on the team.

He has made the roster. Everybody on the current roster has.

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

I'm so used to 2-3 players being cut from the preliminary roster before the tournament starts, that I just assumed it was the same procedure this year. My mistake.

 

[Mitch nylander]

What's the projected roster?

Yes, Henriksson deserves his spot. He might be able to bring some offense to the table unlike the rest of our centers. Wouldn't be my choice but I think the very role oriented Montén would take Johansson for the last D spot. He's been a good soldier for this age group and can kill penalties. Söderström not hearing anything from Montén could mean he's not even on the reserve list.

 

[theslatcher]

What's the projected roster?

The ones that have made it:

Fagemo - Olofsson - Berggren
Pasic - Bäck - Höglander
Holtz - Henriksson - Raymond
Nässén - Öberg - Eriksson

Ginning - Lundkvist (you betcha Montén will play Ginning over Broberg, & Björnfot)
Broberg - Norlinder
Björnfot

Alnefelt
Portillo
Eliasson

Still waiting for David Gustafsson, Sandin, & Boqvist.

That fw-line is weak.

 

[theslatcher]

That fw-line is weak.

Wingers are really solid. Just pretend the center position doesn't exist. Esp. if Gus isn't released.

 

[PastaBergyMarchy]

Noel Gunler scored two goals tonight in CHL. I am a little bit sad that he isn't the team.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Gunler is a reserve

Talangen sköt Luleå till semi – kan ställas mot Frölunda

 

[VictorLustig]

That fw-line is weak.

As previously said, our centers are awfully weak and won't contribute much offensively but the rest is fine. We have the pieces needed for a great PP & PK. Goaltending and defense looks solid as well. I think 5 on 5 scoring will be an issue, against the stronger teams at least. Montén won't outcoach many teams either.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I hope this isn't what it sounds like it is.

Does this mean he's out or tbd

The good news for the Swedes, the Center position is not particularly strong tournament wide. Especially on the Euro rosters.

 

[VictorLustig]

He's been sick for two(?) weeks and has now seen a doctor, that's all we know.

thanks

 

[jfc64]

What's the projected roster?

They are going to double shift Adam Ginning!

Rasmus Dahlin - Adam Boqvist
Adam Ginning - Nils Lundkvist
Rasmus Sandin - Filip Johansson
Adam Ginning - Mattias Norlinder

 

[jfc64]

Who are the rest of the reserves??

 

[Svanstrom]

Gunler is a reserve

Talangen sköt Luleå till semi – kan ställas mot Frölunda

I assume a canter will be added if Gustafsson is not released. But since Pasic, Öberg and Nässén can play C if we really need it, I guess Gunler could potentially be added?
