He makes a good living playing Swedish second division?I know everyone here is conditioned to think of players as assets that should do everything to increase their value to the organization.. but I gotta say, from a human perspective, I don't blame him at all. Guy makes a very good living tearing shit up for a hometown team he's probably always dreamed of playing for.
Hockey hates contentment, but I don't blame him one bit. That sounds like a pretty damn good existence to me.

The Connor McDavid of the Allsvenskan.
The Swedish Dale Weise.
So true, its a not so subtle jab at Euro's.I find the character assassination attempts at this player, for staying in Sweden during a pandemic influenced season and getting his 2nd division hometown club promoted to the top league in Swedish Hockey honourable.
I don't believe he's ever said he plans on staying with Timra beyond this season and last I checked they're tops in the league and well on their way to promotion.
Stuff like this used to be applauded and celebrated. THe "rich kid" stuff is BS.
Most of these top prospects and NHL players we adore aren't exactly coming from slums....

He's not able to come back to the NHL this season as he didn't sign his qualifying offer by the deadline. I could maybe see him signing a try-out contract with the Cuda (AHL) if that's a possibility.All he needs to do is come over, go on an AHL hot streak, and then he'll get a crack. Idk what the hold-up would be at this stage in his career. Now or never.
If he doesnt come over next year he shouldnt come over at all. Its time to show hes ready to progress his career. Everyone knows he can play SHLClearly some here dont understand Swedish hockeyclubs at all. Some players will never change club. He has a chance to get them to SHL. If he su ccede he got the chance to win in SHL. I belive he will take that chance too. And maby then go to NHL direct.
