Did you forget Hrivik? Will be interesting to see if Åman and Lang can build off a strong WC. Hrivik+Zackrisson+Ruohomaa is not easy to move for Åman.

Well, Ejendal more or less confirmed it but they can't announce it for tax reasons. Same with Little in LHC, for instance. Or maybe we should believe they really had to think things over just until they have been out of the country for 6 months.
Interesting with Hännikainen. If that team stays healthy that's a big big improvement on the last few seasons.

Teemu Hartikainen is rumored to Luleå, but it’s hard to get one’s hopes up with all the disappointing news of late. No Omark, no Wallmark, no Cehlarik, the club seems to have gotten too cute trying to save a few reichsthalers with Lepistö and scared him off to Switzerland. We had the best defensive group in the playoffs, and Sellgren (knock on wood) is a nice replacement for Lepistö, but it would have been insane had we had both for next season.
At any rate, we need not one but two top tier forwards, and everyone we’ve hoped for has gone another route. Why can’t we manage to outdo Swiss teams for Wallmark and Cehlarik, after a 7 game finals run, with Omark and Lepistö’s salaries freed up, healthy financials and Minecraft money? Goddamn legionnaires!
Goaltending is another question mark. If Lassinantti’s healthy, there’s no issue, but Wallstedt’s replacement is an untested 20 year old with a good year for a weak team in Allsvenskan. This seems very hit or miss: will he be another Johan Gustafsson, or another Niklas Rubin or Daniel Bellissimo where we’ll have to ride our starter like a mule?
But the forward group is the big issue. On paper, we have nice depth, but problem is that’s always been the case and other so called top teams have always had the distinct edge, with the difference this year being Omark. He solved so much of the mediocrity, inconsistency and bluntness of our offense, and Andreasson emerged a supreme finisher to compliment Omark’s game in a beautiful way (before slowly disappearing/losing his mojo from the semifinals onward).
Let’s hope Hartikainen will be our next super Finn (knock on wood), that Mattsson, Muzik, Nikupeteri can take another step or two in development, perhaps that Locmelis or another junior breaks in and shows superstar potential, and crucially, that Komarek heals up and plays up to par, that Einar buried his woeful regular season forever and continues on like he did in the finals, and then we should be able to get back to — dare I say — the semifinals? We’ll probably even have a team that can go all the way in the CHL, yippee…

I were surprised but it's not a "omg" thing. A bunch of those points came from playing on PP1 with Lasch. Gonna be interesting to see what we get instead.

That would be a scene, wouldn't it? Sjöström coming back crawling to a guy he just fired.

Is it confirmed? He is still listed as having contract with Frölunda on EP. Whatever happend with him btw? He was very promising.
Aahlstroem
På Legenders Axlar
Yeah it's confirmed.
He came back home from two injury-ridden seasons in the KHL, and had a decent first year that still left you wishing for more. Then he just got worse. I can't say that he was really trusted by Roger though, he didn't play true top-6 minutes, he didn't get to play PP1. And the hockey isn't really the same as 15/16 and 16/17. The emphasis on high pressure, high tempo and hard work as increased and the room for actually playing the puck and being creative has dwindled. That hasn't done Sundström any favors.

I think Pokka has been just "OK" in past 3 tournaments (2 WC and Olympics).

Good news is that Jörgen Jönsson is the headcoach...he could teach him. I think he will take Gynges role beside Rosen.Kossila - Rosen - Blichfield

Tasks: Politicians agree - Scandinavium is replaced with an arena for 16,000 spectators
According to information to DN, there is now a broad majority for a decision in the mentioned arena issue in Gothenburg. Scandinavium, which has been a mecca for hockey, among other things, has soon done its part. The arena will be demolished and replaced with a new multi-arena 16,000 spectators.

its a few months old, but looks like there will be a new 16,0000 seat arena in Gothenburg. Translation is not great, so im not sure if its proposed or already agreed upon.
