Markström is red hot right now(and since coming back from injury in general). Last six starts:

0.974
0.946

0.969
March totals: .931
Season totals: .927
He'd be my first choice in NA outside of Lundqvist. Enroth/Lindbäck, what's their combined amount of starts since christmas? Gus sucks atm. Lack, Lehner and Nilsson are hardly even on the radar.
He wouldn't dare. National treason. Starting to talk about WC so soon after failing to reach the playoffs...when Pavelec, Zack, Dustin and Eva accepts invitations, he will, too.
I might have just won ticket or tickets for some stockholm game. Got a confirmation that I won, so they should mail me tickets.
Problem probably will be that i cant go to stockholm so I might sell it for some swedish fan, is anyone interested? I bet its going to be on a swedens game but I tell about it later
All above the age 25 and have a decent role in the NHL is a safe Decline, still i think we have an interesting team with Landeskog and some other youngsters.
Gabriel Landeskog - Tony Martensson - Loui Eriksson
Jimmie Ericsson - Calle Jarnkrok - Jakob Silfverberg
Martin Thornberg - Tom Wandell - David Ullstrom
Mika Zibanejad - Joel Lundqvist - Fredrik Pettersson
Victor Hedman - Tobias Enstrom
Staffan Kronwall - Mattias Ekholm
Jonas Frogren - Jonas Brodin
Viktor Fasth
Jhonas Enroth

We could really use a #1 center. Strange that they would write off all these AHL players already though, their first round of playoffs will be done in time too. Especially Paajarvi seems odd.
OK. Mårtensson and Enström is out. A bit bad but no catastrophy. Swedish fans regroup. A few Wedding Rings or Blackhawks might join for the quarter finals. And we have not counted in any european players who will take the next step.
Ok, so this how we stand right now. All NHL players out of the playoffs have now either declined or accepted invitations:

I agree, we look pretty weak down the middle. Järnkrok will probably center the second line, but right now our best bet for first line center is...Niklas Persson! No offense to Persson, but I'd be more comfortable with him being the third line center. Bäckström or Zetterberg after the first round would be huge for this team.
