TAMMERFORS. A letter from William Nylander, 26, is coming soon. Johann Garbenlov announced this after warming up for today’s match.
– We’ve had a call, and I’m expecting an answer from there. Tre Kronor’s national team captain says it’s 50/50.
The last two NHL extras, Jacob Peterson and Carl Grundström, have arrived in Finland and are expected to play tonight’s meet for the home country.
– I think they’re on their way to the hotel now, we’ll see how they feel if we play with them or not. I want to sit down and talk and feel a little about them, says Garbenlov.
However, quarterback Lucas Woolmarks is not playing tonight’s meeting, he was also missing out against Great Britain.
– No, there is no Wallmark, but it is better, says Garpenlöv without further development.
But more reinforcements are on the way in the way of Boston goalkeeper Linus Olmark and Pittsburgh defender Marcus Peterson.
– They are in a process where they have to pass everything with all the tests. Get out of the meetings and all that, but hopefully they can join in later this week. We asked the question then they should get the green light but hopefully they can connect.
related William Nylander There is still hope:
– It’s 50/50, you never really know. They’ve had a media day and they have to clear everything out there. He would be a good reinforcement for us, of course, given his skills and offensive qualities. There’s a little we’re missing in this team, says Garbinlov.
Who would like to see Nylander in the squad is Lexand striker Nils Uhmann:
– It would mean a lot. Such a global player, no matter how good. That would give really good advice to our team.
In the two previous World Cups, Nylander had 32 points in 18 matches. In the Toronto Maple Leafs this season, he scored 80 points in 81 games.
