Another things we must take into account is players from NHL that must join their AHL team for Calder Cup. See standings in AHL right now below. Highlighted players are the ones we might want for our WC team (and is out of Stanley Cup). Underlined players are questionable for the WC team because of Cider Cup.
1. Jonas Gustavsson Grand Rapids Griffins 1 1.00 .963
4. Magnus Hellberg Milwaukee Admirals 35 2.22 .923
6. Jacob Markström San Antonio Rampage 33 2.65 .920
Looking promising at defense with OEL, Hedman, Brodin and Enström (if he returns from injury) with Staffan Kronwall and perhaps an emerging SEL defenseman.
I looked up what we have in Europe and the standings in NHL. Here's what we might mobilize:
Right now:
Henrik Lundqvist
Anders Lindback
Jacob Markstrom
Nicklas Grossman - OEL
Victor Hedman - Anton Stralman
David Rundblad - Tim Erixon
Gabriel Landeskog - Nicklas Backstrom - Marcus Johansson
Loui Eriksson - Carl Soderberg - Carl Hagelin
Patric Hornqvist - Mikael Backlund - Magnus Paajarvi
Fredrik Pettersson - Joel Lundqvist - Marcus Nilson (Nilson has looked awesome this season, perfect checkingline player)

With the amount of good blueliners we currently have I'd be more surprised if we didn't ice something up to standard. Kinda ironic when you look at what we ice in the EHT.
Ekman-Larsson might miss WC on home ice because of Calder Cup. Hope this tragedy will never occur! He has a one way contract from next year on. Maybe Carl Söderberg is fighting for this as well.

In order to be eligible for the Calder Cup OEL needs to be sent down(or up) to Portland prior to the trade deadline. Not gonna happen.

Some random names on this roster I must say. Not sure why Tom Nilsson is there but Wikstrand isn't and why Granström is there but Lindholm or Enterfeldt isn't. Not many guys on this roster will make the final team anyways and there appears to be more camps coming up.
Starting to look a bit weak at forward right now...but dont despair, Markstrom and one of OEL, Enstrom and Hedman on the ice all the time is a good start. Bring in Conny Evensson+ (vacation keyboard question mark, VKQM). Martenssons and Omarks are nneded this year.
