This will probably be the team though i could see Frodén, Fernholm, Zaar, Sandberg, Johnson or Burakovsky taking a spot.

I would probably split up the first line to balance offense out. Collberg and Karlsson has some chemistry.

I hope Burakowsky makes the final team, he was apparently pretty good at the Hlinka and deserves a spot imo.

I'm also surprised Burakovsky didn't make the team. He, Victor Öhman and Robert Hägg was our best players in that tourney IMO.

[BPilgrim]

Nice to see Högberg as one of two goalies. He has played really well the entire season and it is well deserved. Big, calm and fluent goalie who probably could've played with men already (maybe not SEL though). Think he might challenge Dansk for the position as number one.

He is playing with the U17 team instead of the U18 team in Finland, I have not watched him play but his stats in Superelit are better than most players on this team.

[Hockeyfrilla]

I watched a few games of World Under 17 hockey Challenge, Burakovsky didnt stand out as much I thought he would. He finishied with 4+4 in 6 games tho.

[cheerupmurray]

This agegroup doesn't have the amount of highend-players like the 90's and 91's perhaps but it looks pretty deep. Theres quite a few players that could have been on the team, especially on the forward side.

To put it another way, the swedish b-team for this tournament wouldn't be that much worse than the a-team. The b-team actually played very well against the americans best players USA NTDP in Switzerland this year.

Maybe the team lacks enough high end players to be a favourite going in to the u-18wjc , but we will have a team that could fight for the medals.

[IT]

4 frw eligible in the 2013 draft, add to that Sorensen who's injured and Johnson. From a frw perspective the 2013 draft is looking pretty deep at this point.

[landskronala]

Filip Forsberg - Elias Lindholm - Sebastian Collberg
Jacob De la Rose - Erik Karlsson - Gustav Possler
Andre Burakovsky - Filip Sandberg - Andreas Johnson
Tobias Törnqvist - Gustav Rydahl - Ludvig Nilsson


Ludvig Byström - Hampus Lindholm
Niklas Folin - Linus Arnesson
Calle Andersson - Christian Djoos

[cheerupmurray]

André Burakovsky is on fire right now, scored 16 points in 9 games in J-20 fortsättningserie, and leads the league in scoring by that. Maybe he should be on the team?

I have never seen this guy play but his stats look great, his father was a pretty good player as well. What type of player is he, is he more of a playmaker than a sniper?

Yeah, hard to keep Burakovsky and De la Rose off the roster as both are playing in Allsvenskan right now. Burakovsky also have 41 points in 41 games in SuperElit.

[charlamov71]

Could Lukas Wallmark be a possibility?

[Hockeyfrilla]

Final guess what the team will look like:

Filip Forsberg - Elias Lindholm - Ludvig Nilsson
Sebastian Collberg - Erik Karlsson - Gustav Possler
Andre Burakovsky(-95) - Mattias Kalin - Filip Sandberg
Jacob de la Rose(-95) - Alexander Wennerberg - Tobias Törnqvist
Gustav Rydahl

Ludvig Byström - Hampus Lindholm
Calle Andersson - Linus Arnesson
Jesper Pettersson - Christian Djoos
Robert Hägg(-95)

Dansk
Högberg

btw shouldnt they announce the team soon? pre camp starts 4th april

[cheerupmurray]

Tommy Stenqvist from Timrå is a great d-man If he is good shape again after the injury I vote he makes the team. Smallish but talanted.

No big surprises right? Nice to see the 95 group of Lucas Wallmark, De la Rose and Lillburra on there btw.

Robin Söderquist is a suprise for me. What's the word on him? Solid stats from Frölunda J20.

He's good, works hard, shown some good leadership, but I'm surprised they choose him over Rydahl who has some good chemistry with Erik Karlsson.

Would like to hear about Fernholm.

[Garl]

What's up with Cederholm and Johnson? Injury?
