Lysell will be a darkhorse. Was amazing at the past wjc-18 and played minutes in the SHL that year. Also he adjusted nicely to north american style and rink size, improving his technical game in vancouver. Cant wait to his his playmaking paired with his NHL level shot.
I like the lines, but our coach is incompentent he will not play good lines..
Sweden always with a strong roster.
