The national team captain Sam Hallam did not want to comment on the information after the 4-0 win over France.
Instead, he talked about William Karlsson, where all paperwork exercises are now completed.
It's great to get William in, he arrives here tomorrow. It adds a two-way game that feels really good to get in, says Hallam about the Vegas center.
Center or wing?
But it's not certain that it's in a center role he will be used.
We'll see, says Hallam, who doesn't say anything about which line he sees William Karlsson take a place.
We'll sit down and look at it. It's a good player who will help us, he says.
With William Karlsson officially clear and Max Friberg, who played against France, registered in the World Championship squad, two places are open in the squad.
Total, Tre Kronor now have NHL players in the squad.
"Stupid to risk"
Max Friberg got to replace Marcus Johansson, who rested against France with an injury.
He came here with the feeling that he would play today, but we thought it was stupid to risk anything and better to keep him fresh for next week, says Hallam about Marcus Johansson.
Considering that William Karlsson is on the way, Saturday's match may be the only one in the World Championship for Max Friberg, the Frölunda profile.
I take the role that is given, I don't speculate so much about who will come or what kind of role you get. It's up to the coaches to decide and I will accept and take the role as best as I can, says Friberg.
Sweden has two match-free days before Canada awaits in the last group stage match on Tuesday.
Then the playoffs begin.
It's really nice that it's over with this kind of match. Now it gets more real, says Hallam.
