Grönborg has signed for a Swiss team now, Sicilian. This will be his last WC for Tre Kronor. Johan Garpenlöv will succeed him in Tre Kronor (Team Sweden). Johan is a former SHL/NHL/Tre Kronor player
and has been Team Manager in Tre Kronor since 2010. Apparently Grönborg wanted to coach an NHL team partly because his wife/spouse is American and he has an American university degree.
But it didn't work out.

In Tre Kronor (Three Crowns - Team Sweden) I mostly miss playmaking defencemen like Erik Karlsson, John Klingberg and Rasmus Dahlin. Erik is still in the Stanley Cup (Sharks)
and the other two decided not to come. Like so many others... Our "star" is of course Elias Pettersson. I hope he can deliver on a high level.

Anyway, what is for me most thrilling to follow in this tournament is how our (next) super talent Kaapo Kakko, to be drafted in the summer, is doing. The beginning was superb: the kid scored twice against Canada in his first ever game against NHL-class players. The first one was pure work of art.

Yep, looks like an interesting player. Mikael Renberg (SVT commentator and former player - Legion of Doom, Flyers, for example) compared him to Peter Forsberg.
He has both strength and skill. Scored three more goals today against Slovakia.
