Agenda? What would my agenda be?
Kids don't have agents when they're being recruited for Hockeygymnasium.
Why can they only take 6 or 7? Upper limit is 14.
Problem extends to AIK as well. There are 28 spots for two supposedly attractive teams in the Sthlm area, at least one's been in the SHL at all times.
Again, not saying Dif and AIK don't get the odd good player, but if most truly wanted to be in those clubs and in that city, they would stay and play for those teams. You don't see any Gothenburg kids going anywhere but Frölunda, or even Skåne kids leaving the two Hockeyallsvenskan clubs down there.
If you think most 99'ers will stay in Stockholm just because Dif are back, I think you will look foolish in a year.
I never said most 99'er would. I said that DIF will probably get the majority of the most talented ones. Which was the case from the culls from about 89-96. You can easily check it yourself on EP. The only culls where DIF have had a real hard time getting the best of the Stockholm cull is for the 97's and 98's. Which corresponds perfectly with the relegation.
And despite that, DIF probably got the best goalkeeper, the best defenseman and the best forward from the Stockholm 98's...
