World Cup: 4 Nations Tournament - Team Sweden (2025)

[Eye of Ra]

Gonna be tough for Hallam to pick the 4 nations roster. Hedman and Karlsson is the only locks. Forsling might be better than Dahlin.

Marcus Pettersson
Jonas Brodin
Adam Larsson
Hampus Lindholm
Mattias Ekholm
Rasmus Andersson
OEL
Klingberg
Gustafsson

are very even. Lots of options.

[NyQuil]

So they'll finish what, 7th, 8th?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Ullmark
Markström
Ersson
Gustavsson

Thats 4 good goalies. Could have been 5 if Lehner was back.

So they'll finish what, 7th, 8th?

3/4th, even with the finns

 

[EK47]

Could we possibly get a ”four nations” icon so we don’t need to use the ”world cup” one?

 

[erikhamren]

Carlsson, Raymond and Eklund are our next stars and will only get better, i would have them in the roster. Raymond is a lock so im not worried there but the other 2 im unsure.

Bratt - Pettersson - Nylander
Kempe - Zibanejad - Forsberg
Nyquist - Eriksson Ek - Raymond
W Karlsson - Carlsson - Lindholm
Eklund

Dahlin - E Karlsson
Hedman - Forsling
Ekholm - Andersson
Larsson

Ullmark

What has been made clear at this Worlds is that W.Karlsson's the 3C.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Czech has better players than Sweden. Pastrnak, Necas etc. Those are world class forwards. Sweden doesn't have anything like that.

Hedman? Hasn't been good in years.
Karlsson? Past his prime.

The better team on paper won this game.

So we don’t have good enough players.
Pheeew…

Skip four nations!
Send the Czechs instead!

He is referring to our WC roster and he is right. Nylander, Forsberg and Zibanejad is not here.

Lindholm - Forsling
Ekholm - Andersson
OEL - Gustafsson
Larsson

Hedman, Brodin, Dahlin and Karlsson are soft and weak.

 

[EK47]

Ekholm - Dahlin
Lindholm - Andersson
Forsling - Dahlin
Larsson

Put on a defensive clinic for the ages!

He was delusional, simple as that

Why?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Its possible Hallam wants a checking unit with less skilled players. Stenlund and Janmark are in the Stanley cup finals. Maybe those 2 with Zetterlund as the 4th line.

 

[m4tt145]

Why?

Nyquist and FF have chemistry.

Bratt EP Nyllet just because. With a solid D pairing it could do serious damage. But I understand your point. Maybe switch JEE and Zibanejad. Kempe and Raymond not really fourth liners and the others are top 6 players except maybe Nyquist, but chemistry in a short tournament could prove useful.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Gus Forsling is damn good, Ekholm is fine like wine!

I wouldn’t try Kempe - JEE - Raymond again after the worlds there was no chemistry. I could see Kempe playing with Nylander and Bratt with Jee - Raymond

Gus Forsling is damn good, Ekholm is fine like wine!

I don’t think bouchards trajectory would’ve been close to what it is now without Ekholm. He changed the very fabric of the oilers defense. He’s probably the best shutdown guy sweden has ever had.

. He’s probably the best shutdown guy sweden has ever had.

Better than Mattias Norström, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Kjell Samuelsson, Ulf Samuelsson?

Possibly

 

[theslatcher]

If going for the best possible roster, the dream would be for Landeskog to return like nothing happened.

Forsberg - Pettersson - Nylander
Landeskog - Zibanejad - Bratt
Kempe - W.Karlsson - Raymond
Carlsson - JEEk - E.Lindholm

Forsling - Karlsson
Ekholm - Dahlin
Hedman - H.Lindholm
Brodin

Ullmark
Markström

With Landeskog & E.Lindholm taking the faceoffs on their lines so the only line without an elite player on the dot would be the top line, but Pettersson at least is slightly good at it.

What has Carlsson shown to take a spot on a best on best roster? He has the potential but is not there yet.
