How would team Swedland or Finden look.

[ZEBROA]

Hello Swede here coming in peace. If Sweden and Finland was the same country, how would the national team be composed? If you would try to make it as 50/50 (Sweden/Finland) as possible.
So two lines each but mixed.

Landeskog Aho Laine
Rantanen Barkov Lindholm
Forsberg Backstrom Granlund
Teravainen Pettersson Arvidsson


D
Karlsson Ristolainen (35 min)
Heiskanen Dahlin (25min)

G Rinne /Lundy

I know some of them aint on the right position, but i think they would manage.

At least switch Rantanen and Aho.

Done

Heiskanen is the only finnish d-man, who would have a slight chance to get to that team.

 

[kelsier]

In the long run the offensive core would be largely build up from the Finnish players, while the defense would mostly be from Sweden. I suppose the goalkeepers would come from Finland as well. That team would rival even Canada imo. Even without the Swedes, The Finns should have every chance to battle for the gold medal looking forward. Then again, of course the defense would remain our soft spot, but even that is starting to look better and better the further we go. Who'd have ever guessed we'd get this far this "fast". Although lets try and first win one of the World Cup or the Olympics (with NHL players presented) before going deeper into this.

Very funny whit the "Line" - thing
Still, no, no, no.. Im a halfbreed Finn myself, and no way Heiskanen over Dahlin and what is Lindell doing there?? That first team D should be all Swedish. We have the best top D-men in the world right now, time to be proud about it. We are best at it, dont be such a "Swede" and downplay that fact. Ekholm, Klingberg, A larsson all have proven their greatness at int. level and in the NHL. Some Finnish semi-rookies does not best them.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

no way Heiskanen over Dahlin

Have you followed hockey this season? Dahlin's having a sophomore slump, he wouldn't make Team Sweden today. Dahlin will probably end up better in the future but Heiskanen is clearly better today.

Just like with Kakko, he'll be great in the future but right now I don't understand why he's on a best-on-best team over somebody who's playing greaat hockey in Elias Lindholm.

Heiskanen is having a poor offensive year in comparison, only scoring 23 points in 45 games, compared to Dahlin scoring 26 in 38. In their NHL careers, Heiskanen has a PPG of 0.44, compared to 0.58 for Dahlin, who also has better defensive numbers during his NHL career. Dahlin is not having a sophomore slump, over the past month he has been playing like a top 5 defenseman in the NHL. When will you stop? Hesikanen is not, will never be and has never been good enough to even be compared to Dahlin.

When will I stop? you've been like a man possessed in these forums. I clearly just said Dahlin will likely end up better and there's no history of me saying otherwise. As of today Dahlin is fairly sheltered on a team that's weak on defense while Heiskanen's doing a lot of the heavylifting for a team with more competition on the D-core.

Being sheltered also helps padding up your defensive stats over a player who has to do the heavy lifting.

Congratulations on completely misreading my comment as I've never thought Heiskanen will end up being better but somehow you're very obsessive over this.

Heiskanen is considerably worse than Dahlin today in almost every single metric, and offensively the gap is massive. Dahlin isn’t really being sheltered either. Ice time doesn’t make a player better than the other, offensive and defensive metrics do in a much larger way. If Dahlin got the opportunity his metrics suggest he clearly deserves the gap offensively would be even larger, and it already is huge.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

I would put Hintz over Rakell in jfc64's first team and take Lindell away from the defense. Not that he was bad but the Swedish D is just that good.

And Kakko would not make the team yet.

Maybe! But i m not very satisfied with finnish offense players at the moment.

Esa Lindell. Finnish sisu.

Here's something I wrote yesterday:

Below are the finnish and swedish draft picks in the first three rounds of the last 10 years.I highlighted players that I think makes Team Finland and eam Sweden today. Seems that drafted in the first round 6-10 years ago is a good bet a player makes the teams today. This might be good news for Finland since half of first round players drafted 1-5 years ago is not on the team yet. The number of drafted finns in the first round has doubled.Will 7/8 still make Team Finland in the future? If so, it look good for you. Now it's 17-12 Finland in using players drafted in the first three rounds the last 10 drafts on the national team. Sweden might rely on slightly older players nowadays (OEL, Karlsson, Hedman) and it might be slightly harder to join Team Sweden on defense (Adam Larsson, Klefbom and Rasmus Andersson etc is not locks). Conclusion might be that Finland is producing more players (in first three rounds) to the national team the last 5 drafts than Sweden, 8-3 Finland. And first round is important to be on the national team. 10-9 Finland here. Which is well done by Finland since they have fewer inhabitants than Sweden. A few more swedes (first round) accounts for an equal number of national team players. A hopeful conclusion is that both finns and swedes will continue to make the national teams in the same rate. Juolevi, Puljujärvi, Borgström, Välimäki, Vaakanainen, Vesalainen, Eriksson Ek, Nylander, Larsson, Brännström and Liljegren are next, so to speak. And I say GOOD LUCK trying to join Team Sweden if you're not drafted in the first round (in any of the 10 last drafts). William Karlsson (2nd round) is in by a hair.

And, unexpected breakouts belong to guys like John Klingberg, Arvidsson, G-O(a)lofsson and Lindell.

Over and under the line are drafts for 6-10 years ago (over) and 1-5 years ago (under).

There is better options than Armia. Arvidsson, Rakell and Elias Lindholm for exemple.

Who cares should be Jonas Brodin.

Lankinen ahead of Markström?

Lankinen ahead of Markström?

At this particular point - easily. Markstrom should be nowhere near the team. Saros or Lankinen is a better question.

Also, Risto on the first pair is flat-out hilarious.

Markstrom have been good for many seasons. lankinen just have 1 good season so far behind him.

Heiskanen is having a poor offensive year in comparison, only scoring 23 points in 45 games, compared to Dahlin scoring 26 in 38. In their NHL careers, Heiskanen has a PPG of 0.44, compared to 0.58 for Dahlin, who also has better defensive numbers during his NHL career. Dahlin is not having a sophomore slump, over the past month he has been playing like a top 5 defenseman in the NHL. When will you stop? Hesikanen is not, will never be and has never been good enough to even be compared to Dahlin.

With context to this post I quoted, you wouldn’t happen to full of excuse after excuse for Dahlin’s production this season, would you?

Agree. That's why I would have agreed with Markstrom pick for many seasons. Yet if we are talking about the situation now picking him would be nothing more than anchor bias. Goalies don't become good just by changing the jersey and he hasn't been good this year. And, frankly, neither has Rask but obviously, Markstrom has nowhere near the reputation.

Not going to change my judgement on a player because of half a season
