Now it’s finished.
William Nylander has agreed to the World Cup.
The star lands in Finland on Saturday.
Tre Kronor has got a dream start at the World Cup in Finland. There have been four victories in as many matches, and Sweden has really connected a firm grip on the group victory.
The strength message
Austria, the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom were first dismissed in that order. On Wednesday, Tre Kronor also stood for a proper show of strength when they beat the home nation Finland after penalties.
Johan Garpenlöv’s men could not have imagined a better start at the World Cup. And after the impressive win against Finland, there have been even more good news. On Thursday, it became clear that the NHL duo Linus Ullmark and Marcus Pettersson will join the squad.
The big snack, however, has been Toronto star William Nylander, where Garpenlöv at the beginning of the week said that it is “50/50” that the forward will come to the World Cup.
Tre Kronor’s message of joy
But now it’s clear. Tre Kronor confirms that William Nylander has accepted the World Cup, and will land in Finland tomorrow, Saturday.
“The process of getting him ready for the World Cup has begun. Nylander lands in Tampere on Saturday afternoon. This means that Linus Karlsson is leaving the World Cup team “, writes Tre Kronor.
William Nylander has had his best season away in North America. The Swedish star forward has accounted for 80 points during the regular season, and accounted for seven in as many matches in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
When Johan Garpenlöv commented on William Nylander earlier this week, the national team captain said this:
– William has had a fantastic season and may be playing the hockey of his life. He would be that supplement for us.
