Confirmed Signing with Link: [WSH] D Hardy Haman Aktell signs ELC with the Capitals (1 year, $775k)

Don't forget about good ol' Patrice Bergeron-Cleary.

Man to think he wouldve been Patrice Cleary if he went the other way. Sounds like a bastard Red Wing lol

Cut from Sweden's national team for World Championship.
Does this push the guys in Hershey further down or is this signing more for organizational depth?

 

[Gnashville]

He didn't show any promise as an NHL prospect when his draft rights expired. Plus Nashville had prospects like Fabro, Frederic Allard & Alexander Carriere ahead of him on the depth chart.

​

He was also injured for 2 years I think

A Hardy congratulations to Haman Aktell and the Washington Capitals on the signing

Maybe he Gets a Laurel and Hardy Handshake when he signs

Sure, at least in Sweden. Likely taking his (unmarried) parents’ last names.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Hardy Häman Aktell is basically the same. Two last names. Until 20 years or so ago, it was actually really uncommon to use a hyphen between last names in Sweden, it has become more common now.

a sign of the erosion of the traditonal family- very sad

 

[CapsFrontOffice]

A message to Orlov to lower his expected contract ambitions if he really wants to come back is my guess.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Will his nickname be 'Hardy Boys' ?

Hmm parents living in sin? That’s a major red flag. Hard pass.

Any chance he makes the team out of camp? I know Edmundson is hurt.

 

[LemonSauceD]

All I know is he trains with Elias Pettersson over the summer.

I think so. He’s outplayed Lucas Johansen and Carberry has said he’s caught the attention of the coaching staff so I think it’ll be Carlson, Sandin, TvR, Fehervary, Jensen, Alexeyev, and HHA as the seven defensemen.

Nick name will be HEMAN
