Ohgren is coming off injury. That is why his production is down.
Some points to add from a swedish WJC fan in regards to some of the statements you made in this video, great video btw!
Tom Willander will not bring you dazzling offensive skill but has a hard and accurate shot from the point.
Elias Salomonsson could be one of the highest riser in stock after this tournament if he has a good one.
Lekkerimäki has a dangerous shot but so do Otto Stenberg, wicked release on both!
Felix Unger-Sörum looks to be playing on one of the PP-units and shoud put up a whole lot of points this tourney, apparently he made a big splash on the rookie dev camp over in Carolina and has seemed to really grow at the mens stage now so we'll see how he does! Also look for some of those huge teenagers (Edstrom and Bystedt) to be putting up points from in front of the net on the PP units as well.
Can't wait for this tournament to get started, my prediction is however that the US will win, with Canada getting the silver and Sweden the Bronze. We seem to be falling short most times in the playoff and I am sad to not know why..
