Team Sweden announced the final cuts to their roster today. Leaving the team is defender Filip Westerlund and forwards Lucas Elvenes, David Gustafsson, and Jacob Olofsson.
This means Timothy Liljegren joins a very exciting group of blueliners to play in Buffalo in a few days. All eyes will be on the top-ranked 2018 draft prospect Rasmus Dahlin — all eyes but ours, of course. We should expect to see Liljegren paired up with a more defensive-minded partner and to get some power play time, but he is not the top man in the group.
