Who are the best Swedes?

From what I saw in TV-pucken, forwards Ludvig Persson and especially Fabian Lysell seemed to have the most potential. Defender Anton Olsson impressed last year but haven't seen him this year. He is an early developer as well, so some of his success might be because of that. I don't this there is any Raymond or Holtz in this years age group, this can change a lot over the upcoming years of course.

Feel the Swedish team has been the better team(controls the puck vast majority of the time), but it has no shooters, which Finland has. Anyways, I like what I've seen from Sweden #26, and Finland #6 I want to say(his jersey covers up 90% of his number).

Finland 6 - Sweden 2 after 2nd period scorers Salminen X2, Yliniemi, Ahonen, Sandvik and Jellvik for sweden

Best Finn for me so far has been Samu Tuomaala a great skater and stickhandler with tremendous poise with the puck he can make circles around opponents like the best of them. Needs to improve shot accuracy has had couple chances from good spots but missed the net. Maybe the next Jesse Ylönen or even better?

I wonder why Sandvik's production isn't that great for his club team. He's been very impressive in these international games.

... Jesse Ylönen? Hopefully not, he should be the best "early birthday" 2003 for the 2021 draft, perhaps along with Viljami Juusola from what I've seen.

His problem seems to be that he doesn't have such great timing with his plays with the puck. Very good tools but makes you wonder...

Sweden looked really good once again, carried the play from start to finish. Guessing the PP's and goals will come in the 3rd game.
