I'm looking for a little more in-depth infos on two players, who are rumoured to get signed by my hometown team Cologne Sharks / DEL:
Färjestad's Per Aslund
From the scouting report on EP he sounds like a reliable scorer with a sound two-way-game. Could anyone go a little more into detail on him?
Linköping's Johannes Salmonsson
He seems to be rather a defensive forward, but what I get from the reports on Linköping's playoffs he tears it up in the postseason.
Would be great to get your opinion on him.
It's said that Cologne signing him would depend on him getting a German passport. Since Google Translate doesn't seem to be the most reliable, there is confusion whether or not his mother is German. (Something about his mother was mentioned in a Swedish paper, but the crappy translation didn't clarify what's the deal there.)
Thanks a lot in advance!
That can't be right, can it? Can DEL still limit the number of non-German players, not only non-EU players?
Ã…slund is a solid two-way guy, not a lot of flash there but still a solid producer and reliable winger, has been producing like a top-6 forward here for a while but never really taken the last step to be a star, does not really have one or two qualities that are elite, just solid all-around.
Salomonsson, more speedy, more of a flash in the pan kind of guy, but very inconsistent and invisible for long stretches, as you mentioned, always seems to turn it up a notch in the playoffs.
