Sweden Olympics 2022

Created by: Garb66
Team: 2021-22 Custom Team
Initial Creation Date: Oct. 10, 2021
Published: Oct. 10, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
First and second line will be possession and scoring lines, with especially William Karlsson being recognized as a Corsi monster, excelling at opponent zone entry.
The third line will be more defensively employed, and I want the budding star and 4th in Selke voting Eriksson Ek be deployed more often, and slightly more defensively. Ek with his advanced stats of elite numbers in expected scoring compared to expected goals against get to play with players he deserve to play with, now that he has been upgraded to the first line in Minnesota.
4th line is another strong line: Lindholm has very good underlying defensive numbers, and get to play with creative youngster Eklund and solid defensively Järnkrok or speedster Arvidsson, whom like Erik Karlsson, I hope will rebound.

Klingberg makes the team 100%, he’s their best RHD.

It was him or Dahlin, but I suspect Dahlin is going to have an upswing season. Watch EK65 dancing around last preseason game made me feel he might come back to close to old form.

Larsson isn’t that good, he got picked for free by Seattle. I see Klingberg and Dahlin both making the team over him.

Karlsson could have a bounce back season, and even if he doesn’t he’ll still be on the top parring with Hedman. Then I’d put Klingberg with Brodin and Dahlin with one of Lindholm and Ekholm.

I don't know the story behind that, except that sometimes teams has hard decisions to make based on many factors, but his underlying numbers are actually exceptionally good.

Here is advanced stats from Expected Buffalo:
https://www.expectedbuffalo.com/expected-buffalo-face-off-2022-sweden-olympic-roster-analyics/

"Larsson’s strength is as a defensive asset. Among the 209 NHL defensemen who played a minimum of 300 minutes last season, the 28-year-old ranked 26th with an xGA/60 rate of 1.92."

Andersson is another candidate, for sure. He might well be a starter.

Don’t get me wrong he’s good defensively it’s just that Klingberg is way better. Except Hedman and Brodin, Klingberg is their best dman.

Also why don’t you have Dahlin on the left side and Klingberg on the left? Klingberg is better than Lindholm and just to force a player on their wrong side to get a worse defensemen doesn’t make sense.

If you want to keep Larsson just do this:

Hedman-Karlsson
Brodin-Klingberg
Dahlin-Larsson

I think they will be too much a liability on defence together. Great offensively.
What do you feel about the forwards? I guess Eklund is speculative, but he has certainly impressed in the preseason. It would be fun if he or Raymond made it on merit.

That’s why you’d put Dahlin with Larsson and Klingberg with Brodin. Put an offensive dman with a defensive one to level it out.

As for the forwards I can see Raymond making a case for himself, him like Eklund have been having great preseasons.

If he for once has an injury free season, I have a feeling he might rebound, with two young Swedes now likely on the roster as a bit of inspiration.

Fair enough, that’s also a way to go. I would love it if EK65 is back on form and they would try pairing Hedman and him together.

I agree Larsson will need to have a really good start to the season to solidify a Sweden Olympics roster, but to correct here, he was not picked "for free". The Oilers were trying to resign him and protect him, but he didn't want to stay in Edmonton - his dad had died while visiting him in Edmonton unexpectedly a couple seasons ago of an early heart attack, and he expressed in an interview recently he had been unable to shake that weight in the city and wanted a fresh start. Seattle was about as fresh as it gets. So he signed there early in the time only they and the Oil could negotiate with him, constituting the pick of an Edmonton player per the draft rules.

Larsson is a quality shut down guy who CHOSE Seattle. Why do you think Edmonton traded for Keith? To replace Larsson.

He is on record as saying he did not want to return to Edmonton as it reminded him of loosing his father. Wanted a fresh start.

So no. He didn't get picked up for "free". Larsson made a choice.
