joined by Marty Bon Marty Sweden has unveiled its roster for the four nations faceof William neander leads the team up front he represented the senior team twice 32 points in 18 games won an MVP a gold medal at the 2017 worlds he’s joined by other stars Elias pson Philip forsberg mik zaban Jad elas Lindholm so Marty how do you like the sweds up front well I think they’re pretty stacked right and the swedes have always been kind of sneaky good up front with the Matt sundine and the sadin and the Peter forsberg and there’s always been a lot of Firepower there especially when you put them all together and they know their systems they can read off of one another and they play well as a group so yeah I look at you know yes for brat like this is one that can come in and really have a significant impact offensively in a short-term tournament well neander is definitely one that I look at um you know I I look at Elias pson can he get hot forsburg same thing so I think offensively now the sweds are not at the same level as Team Canada and Team USA But in a short tournament they can surprise and have just enough fire power to scramble things up and I’m really looking forward to see how they look on the ice what about their back end the swedens have got some pretty impressive Talent there the list includes Rasmus Dalene Matias atom Victor Hedman Yas brodine what stands out to you about their blue line Marty well I think that they’re big I mean headman and and dalen are pretty solid physically right and they can play multiple games like Dalene can be asked to play defensively Hedman can be asked to play defensively and then if you need some offense you can put it all together eom’s the same way eom is used to playing with really really high-end Talent like Evan buar but if you want eom to just stay back and be a stay at home defenseman he can also do it so I I really like the size at the Blue Line when it comes to and again that has been a pivotal uh point with all the Swedish team that have had success right you’ve got the sneaky offense and you’ve got the strong sized defenseman that can manage you know all aspects of the game so I I’m really IM impressed with the way that this roster comes together let’s not forget there’s only 67 Swedish skaters in the NHL and they had to pick you know 20 skaters for that tournament so a third of their skaters are there and they’re able to put that a high quality of a roster I’m I’m impressed with Sweden listen their former coach Johan GARP said the team should not have taken Eric Carlson because he could become a defensive liability what do you think is Carlson worth the risk in this tournament Marty I think he’s worth the risk listen he’s still putting up points and assists right and offensively he can be a Difference Maker especially when you play with high-end players like what Sweden is going to put on the ice but obviously you’re not going to ask Eric Carlson to be top pair defenseman to be a shutdown defenseman to play against the other team’s best lines despite the fact that it is a four Nation tournament every line is an NHL best line but still you can surround Eric Carlson you can help him put him in better situation use him on the power play or not use him at all you know they got seven defenseman named to the roster so maybe he comes in as number seven and doesn’t see much but I think he’s still a chance that you should take for team Sweden and bring Eric Carlson and hope that maybe he’s you know a point a game and all assists in the tournament and he makes a difference offensively all right Marty here it is let’s get to the goalies now the swedes have got markstrom gustaffson and alark who do you think starts for them well if it was just me I’d start gustofson I think he’s had the best season out of anybody I think they will go with Jacob markstrom though but it’s still in February so a lot can happen until then but markstrom uh you know with the New Jersey Devils this year has had a lot of success Lena Sark with Ottawa just a little bit you know not as as good in the Rhythm and the numbers are not quite there to say oh yeah we’re picking all Mark and so I’m kind of looking between markstrom and Guston and I think markstrom has the experience markstrom is you know the older um he’s big um he’s he’s he’s used to face ing top end you know talent I think Guston is is a great story and could come in if all of a sudden markom doesn’t play well but if the tournament started this week I’d have marrum one gustavson two and potentially all Mark three but it’s still a really good Trio to have in that for Sweden all right big picture now how do you like the overall Ruster where do you think they rank amongst the four teams going into the tournament Marty I’m gonna put him at number three but with a very asteris that this is the team in my opinion that can really shake things up that can surprise a team and slide into the final and then all of a sudden you have to play against Sweden uh that can you know really wear you down and they can be physical and they can be good offensively they have the strong defense that can wear you down so look do I put him in my favorite uh to you know be in the top two no but if there was a long shot that I think can win all I would uh I would think Sweden would be that long shot that can go and not just make it to the final but win a uh you know a four nations face off gold medal if we can call it a gold medal bll prediction from Marty Bron for the record FanDuel has the sweds at third at plus 490 to win the tournament
