I know Klingberg isn’t having the best start to the year, but judging him off of 9 games compared to the past 5 years is massive recency bias.</div></div>
Yes. He wasn’t playing particularly well last year either and is taking that clear trend downward this year. Klingberg has never been the most reliable defensively, but he has made that up by putting up big numbers offensively. When he is not doing that anymore there are better options. Form beats former class. So no thanks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Duggysdanglers</b></div><div>Burakovsky should maybe get in there.</div></div>
I would like to see a bit more from him at this stage, but before the season started he felt given. The coach has given him everything from 10 to 18 minutes per game. He has been a bit too uneven, but yeah, I am hoping he will recover.
On the other hand the coaching team in Sweden always picks the oldest before the most creative, and hope they can find the puck from Canada and play their straightjacket obvious passes and score, so Raymond won’t have been chosen to the 55, due to his lack of experience, though a blind man following the training camp could see he could have this kind of breakthrough. So if you throw out Raymond, one of our few PPG players, Burakovsky would fit.

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.

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."
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ragsandbluesfan</b></div><div>Andersson not being here makes no sense either</div></div>

Joel Eriksson Ek. A team like Sweden needs a 4th in Selke voting player to play in the top 3 lines. Or at least make the roster.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tea</b></div><div>when raymond has a phenomenal season then we can talk about him making the roster, but you certainly shouldnt be banking on him being one of the best swedish players in the nhl right out of the gates.
i understand bolstering the top 6, but its not gonna work with the players we have, and i certainly dont think karlsson should be in the top 6 ahead of players like burakovsky, lindholm, forsberg, and nylander.
he had one very good season and ever since he's dropped off.
nylander, on the other hand, is excellent, especially in the playoffs. while most of the stars on toronto struggled, nylander put up 5 goals, and 8 points in 7 games and you can't chalk that up to playing with superstars because tavares was out for most of it, and marner/matthews weren't doing much at all. unlike raymond he's a proven talent in this league, and he's definitely earned a spot in the top 6.
forsberg is another player who deserves a spot in the top 6. he has a track record of being a solid points producer in international tournaments and has been great for the preds in their playoff runs. in the 2018 playoffs for example he had 7 goals 9 assists for 16 points in 13 playoff games, and he's consistently scored at a 30 point pace for the last few years.
having backstrom and zibs together would be a bit like toronto having matthews and tavares together. maybe they'd be a great line, but it's much better to have 2 lines with top centers than one line with two top centers and one line with a decent center, especially when we're facing teams like canada. trying to bolster the top 6 against a team like that is like david trying to outmuscle goliath.</div></div>
Nah, pairing centers is fine and Canada does it with great success. Also W Karlsson is a Corsi monster, especially in bringing in opponent zone entry, and was clearly the best forward in Golden Knights this last Stanley Cup playoff, perhaps the only forward of the top 6 that truly performed.
I disagree with the relevancy your David and Goliath metaphor as a tool for that discussion.
Also I never said Raymond would be one of the best players in the nhl. If he is Calder worthy, he could pair very well with Pettersson. I am not banking on anything really - I clearly set up the explanation of the team posting the thread. I find it kind of funny how people seem to act like it’s not speculative. :)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tea</b></div><div>yeah he might be good but first line? thats just ridiculous. if hes good id probably have him on the team, maybe 3rd line, but top 6? thats just ridiculous.
also where tf is karlsson? even if he isnt in his 2017 form he's still pretty good and has a ton of experience, and thats gonna be key against teams like russia and canada.
you also for some reason put raymond on the team but not hoglander, and you should have zibanejad as the 1c, pettersson as the 2c, and obviously put filip forsberg in the top 6.
here's what you do for the top 6:
landeskog - zibanejad - nylander
forsberg - pettersson - burakosvky
hoglander - bäckström - lindholm
rakell - eriksson ek - arvidsson
you'll also want raymond, nyqvist, and karlsson there
for the defense youre gonna want:
hedman - klingberg
ekholm - karlsson
dahlin - larsson
you'll also want brodin, oel, and andersson in the running, depending on how people like dahlin do next year.
the key to this team is having four runnable lines, and a strong defense with a good mix of experience and youth. what youve done is scrapped that idea and put an unproven 19 year old on the first line.
btw forgive me if i forgot someone this is just off the top of my head</div></div>
Check out Expected Buffalo thread about Swedish Olympics roster. It has some interesting advanced stats. I agree Raymond has to be a strong Calder candidate to find himself there. I disagree with spreading out Sweden’s top centers to 3 lines. Against Canada it’s better to focus on two top lines. Granted, this would elevate Nylander to a top line, but I am banking on a phenomenal season for Raymond and then he can ally with Ek, a budding star of his own, who deserves to play with better players.

2022 Sweden Olympic Team if picked right now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dstapels9</b></div><div>I agree that he is the better offensive player. But he hasn’t been able to replicate his fantastic inaugural Vegas season. I don’t see it as enough of a win to insert him into the bottom of Sweden’s lineup to replace the speedy, short handed star in Hagelin - who has won before. I like them both though!</div></div>
W Karlsson was the best forward in the Stanley Cup finals for Vegas this year in a team that is a contender. Imo he belongs in the first two lines. Also, you should check out this interesting article about the Swedish team and advanced statistics.
https://www.expectedbuffalo.com/expected-buffalo-face-off-2022-sweden-olympic-roster-analyics/
As you can see from the article, he is described as a Corsi monster, and it’s generally good to have monsters in your roster.
Joes Eriksson Ek is missing from your lineup also. He was fourth in Selke voting (best defensive forward) and will certainly, barring injuries, like W Karlsson, be in the starting roster. He is another player that should be considered a top 9 role. He had very good stats especially given he was producing points playing with players not that offensively gifted, and facing very good opposition. This year he is a favorite to centre the top line in Minnesota, which means his numbers might go up drastically.

I used to be optimistic too, until I looked at Canada’s forward group… :) How are you even going to get the puck and keep it playing that group? Problem is, everyone will have injury sidelined players by the , but for Canada it won’t matter.
Fingers crossed and you are right, though. It’s good for the tournament if Canada faces real resistance, from one of the top teams.

Yes, it is a bit of wishful thinking but for me he has a fairly high chance of breaking the Red Wings roster, and if he does they will use him in top 6 to start, with a shot at making an impact if he does. His speed, passing and puck-transporting ability woukd be extremely useful if he can convert it to the next level. Only chance he does make the team, is if he makes a tremendous impression in September in the Red Wings camps, enough for the coaches to notice him for the initial 60 man selection. Sweden needs a breakout season from someone, as well as strong seasons from Zib, Pett, and Backie, and escape injuries to have a legit shot at gold.
