Three inquiries about Tre Kronor:

Chances in the tournament:

- It is always difficult to say who will win a tournament like this.

I am more curious about which players take the chance to play in the national team.

Those who can handle the pace at a slightly higher level than the SHL, where it goes a little faster and everyone is a little better.

For Sweden and Johan Garpenlöv, it is about finding a framework for the World Cup later this spring that can perform internationally.

This is Johan's last chance, and Sweden cannot afford another missed World Cup quarter-final, says SVT commentator Chris Härenstam.

Troops:

- A mixture of inexperienced and experienced.

The squad is interesting and I think it will do well.

How good is Rögle's Anton Bengtsson internationally?

He has started the season very well in the SHL and CHL.

Then it will be extremely interesting to see Lars Johansson in the national team again.

He is probably Europe's best goalkeeper outside the NHL.

Then it is as always with Tre Kronor, who scores the goals?

Debutants:

- Christian Folin will be very interesting to follow.

He should be a backbeat even in Tre Kronor.

And then we have Gustaf Lindvall who has had a great development in Skellefteå, who is very good at developing goalkeepers.

I'm also excited to see Calle Själin.

Leksand's coach Björn Hellqvist said before the season that he will have a big breakthrough, and he has sometimes been dominant, says Chris Härenstam.
