Niklas Wikegård was in third place on Loob's list of potential national team captains.

Today he is an expert in television and the last time he led a team was Djurgården in the 2004-2005 season.

- Someone can say that Wikegård has done his part in a booth, but I think that the arrangement with the national team would suit an experienced guy like Niklas very well.

In second place on the list was Frölunda's Roger Rönnberg.

- He has shown what he can do both nationally and internationally.

He should be tried at a higher level and then Tre Kronor is a really excellent example, says Loob.

One on the list was Sam Hallam, Växjö's gold coach who is on an expiring contract.

- The hottest coach in recent years, I think.

He has managed everything in Växjö.

He does it very well.

Sometimes it can be said that he plays boring hockey, but he is terribly effective when he leads his team.
