There are arguments to be made for Hjalmarsson and Ekholm

Larsson doesn't get in. There are a ton of better Swedish defensemen than him. Hjalmarsson, Lindholm, Klingberg, and even Klefbom would get the spot before Larsson

Stralman is better than both Larsson and Brodin. He also has known chemistry with Hedman, which makes him the ideal partner.

Stralman is one of the most defensively sound defensemen in the league. He absolutely is better than Brodin and Larsson. Look at the HERO charts.

i disagree ... look what Larsson did with his team ... i mean, McDavid is the biggest reason they're so much better but Larsson's a great piece that they added last year.

Yes, Larsson helped round out their defense. But you can't just assume that he's better because Edmonton did so well. Why wasn't New Jersey any good when he was with them?

Klingberg makes the lineup ahead of Hjalmarsson in my opinion.

Larsson plays with Klefbom. Stralman played most of the season with a washed up Garrison and a giraffe

Idk. Maybe because they were playing without 4 or more of their top 6 forwards for a decent stretch. There was also a period of games where we missing 4 of our centers.
