Yes, that'll work too.
Shame that MÃ¥rtensson seems to be done with the NT, I liked him.

Different animal. Needs to show he can score with the higher pace and defend at a respectable level in the WC camp(s).
We have many SHL scorers who can't score internationally.

He didn't get any PP time last EHT, not that much ice time either.
When is the next EHT?

Marts seems to like to ignore swedish players who are performing well in the KHL.

We don't have many of those..
Mårts said earlier in the season that Tellqvist could contend for a spot. But we'll be able to choose from Enroth and likely at least two of Läck, Lehner and Gustavsson. Plus standout Ullmark at home so I doubt we'll need Tellqvist.

It's not a lot but some of them should play on NT more often.
I'm quite sure the goaltender will be Enroth, Buffalo is surely out of the playoffs. He was tremendous last year.

Henrik Karlsson? In 6 games in EHT he is 1.40 and .959. In KHL he has 2.18 and .917.
Think MÃ¥rts will go for the younger players this time, I believe:
Bäckström won't go and doesn't want to, either... Enström, feels like he's out too. And one or two of the Sedins will lick their wounds after a spoilt season, or? So... Btw, doesn´t our defense look good?
- Hey, Hen! Look what I got! An olympic silver medal!! Nananananana! - Just you wait and see!

Well the two guys who've proved themselves internationally there are Kronwall and Mårtensson. Kronwall was the captain last year and Mårtensson has retired. Andersén has been a regular this year, Thörnberg is usually a regular when healthy and Viklund is Mårts' baby boy.
Most of the forwards on that list have been on the national team plenty of times with varying success. Speaking generally, they were good but not dominant SHL players, or recently came home from failed tenures in NA and went straight to Russia. Videll, Gynge and Bergfors don't have what it takes to be WCH top6 players. They're certainly around but not above the level of SHL forwards like Arlbrant, Möller and Klasen. Zackrisson, Ullström and Engqvist are probably more interesting because of their ability to be strong checkers.
But long story short, there are no unknowns in the KHL that we haven't tried out or aren't on the team regularly.
Suppose he's in the running. I prefer Ullmark for the 3rd goalie spot though if it comes to that, nice experience.

Thanks for the information, but how come Bergfors and Videll almost or never got a chance in the EHT in the last years even if they have good stats and skills. Bergfors was two years ago and Videll five years.
Please no... IMO Omark needs to be left alone for a year or so and then be revisited.
I know people are throwing around blame but at the same time he didn't manage to take a place in Buffalo... And since he came to Lulea they are in free fall and honestly they were lucky that the SHL ended when it did. 1 or 2 more rounds and they would have been forced to play qualification games to enter the playoffs...
Blame whatever or whoever but he seems to be cursed right now and I don't want to see him around our national team.
We need centers so why not? Subtract a few players below for this to happen.
Klasén - Sedin – Zibanejad
Johansson – Backlund – Hörnqvist
Hjalmarsson – Karlsson – Arlbrandt
Axelsson – "Prince Lumquest" - Persson - Pettersson
Forsberg - Järnkrok - Ericsson
Edler – Karlsson
Ekman-Larsson – Adam Larsson
Viklund – Kronwall
Rahimi – Klingberg
Enroth
Läck
Karlsson
I think we could do without the bolded players, not a huge fan och Klasen, Axelsson and Arlbrandt, id rather see some new players. Would Sedin want to come? Will VAN let him?
Bergfors- Backlund - Zibanejad
Hjalmarsson - Karlsson - Möller
Järnkrok - Lindholm - Forsberg
Ericsson - Lundqvist - Persson
Pettersson
Klasen/Arlbrandt/Axelsson

Looking at the current NHL-standnings, we COULD have a dream team.
Sedin - Sedin - Alfredsson
Franzen - Zetterberg - Nyqvist
Johansson - Backstrom - Backlund
Zibanejad - Lindholm - Hornqvist
Karlsson - OEL
Enstrom - Edler
Kronwall - Ericsson
Gustavsson
Lehner
Lack
Sedin - Sedin - Alfredsson
Franzen - Zetterberg - Nyqvist
Johansson - Backstrom - Backlund
Zibanejad - Lindholm - Hornqvist
Karlsson - OEL
Enstrom - Edler
Kronwall - Ericsson
Gustavsson
Lehner
Lack
How many of those does really want to play. Zetterberg should nurse is back. Sedins has been injured and Alfie is old. Bäckis. I don't know how he thinks here. I guess his a bit happier now with the silver medal.
I would like to see a young for-the-future squad.
