Team Sweden [announced the final cuts to their roster today](http://www.swehockey.se/Nyheter/NyheterfranSvenskaIshockeyforbundet/2017/December2017/fyraspelareenbackochtreforwardsspelarefarlamnajvm-lagetibuffalousa/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Leaving the team is defender Filip Westerlund and forwards Lucas Elvenes, David Gustafsson, and Jacob Olofsson.

This means Timothy Liljegren joins a very exciting group of blueliners to play in Buffalo in a few days. All eyes will be on the top-ranked 2018 draft prospect Rasmus Dahlin — all eyes but ours, of course. We should expect to see Liljegren paired up with a more defensive-minded partner and to get some power play time, but he is not the top man in the group.

Liljegren is, however, one of only two right-shooting defenders with Westerlund cut. The other is Gustav Lindström. Sweden is used to a glut of lefites at the junior team level, but Liljegren’s handedness might help him grab a decent amount of playing time.

The final roster is as follows:
