14. Marcus Sylvegård (RW)Malmö Redhawks 50 17 23 40
Talk about flying under the rader. He is one of the best players in SHL. And he is gritty to add to that.
he is good, also grittyIs he that good or just a player putting up points on a bad team?
E.Sylvegård instead of Emanuelsson would be perfectOmark* - Tyrväinen - Andreasson
Connolly - Kempe - Shinnimin
Zdrahal - David Lilja - Nikola Pasic
Eklind - Berglund - Einar Emanuelsson
Nikupeteri
Gustafsson - Ludvig Jansson
Sellgren - ?
Hardegård - Laaksonen*
Själin
Lassinantti
Ward
* = yet to be confirmed
Decided to have another look at what’s happening to the roster. Team’s mostly been confirming rumors in the media following the playoff exit. Unfortunately, Omark hasn’t been confirmed, despite himself announcing his return during the Swiss championship celebrations, which is slightly worrisome.
Sami Lepistö and Jacob Larsson have been rumored before but the former I think will stay in Finland, and the latter is probably entertaining other offers and could be a long shot? Not sure. I don’t know if we can expect Lepistö to repeat the tremendous success he had in 2021-22, but Larsson would be a very interesting add. Similar to Honka in having been a highly touted, first round draft pick who never got it together in the NHL but with the tools to excel in the Swedish league.
If Luleå’s able to work something out with Omark, the forward side looks nearly complete. I think they might want to add one more forward for depth considering Kempe’s injury history and Nikupeteri’s slow progression as a reliable option. I do think it could be fine if we leave the roster like this, as there are certain J20 forwards such as Joel Kant who made good first impressions on the senior team and could make a leap next year.
It’s on defense that we’ve got glaring needs. I don’t know if Hardegård is thought to be a replacement for Engsund, but I’m not seeing enough physical presence on the backend. But at least as crucially: Honka’s solid two-way play and offensive game will be sorely missed unless we replace him with a proven top-4 defenseman.
It’s possible Sellgren could have a bigger offensive role, or that one of the young adds Laaksonen or Jansson quickly closes in on their potential, but Jacob Larsson would be a really exciting addition here.
E.Sylvegård instead of Emanuelsson would be perfect
Öhgren -> FärjestadDoes anyone have any knowledge about where Östlund, Öhgren and Lekkerimäki might be playing next season? Aftonbladet brought up that Östlund was rumored to Skellefteå.
Poor DjurgardenÖhgren -> Färjestad
Lekkerimäki closing in on deal with Örebro
Östlund, no further information since initial rumor with Skellefteå
It’s unfortunately what comes with playing in Allsvenskan, where they’ll likely stay for quite some timePoor Djurgarden
Djurgården have a great junior program. They will keep producing good players. No worries.Poor Djurgarden
I assume he will play with Andreasson and Tyrväinen?LINUS OMARK
LET’S GOOOO
I assume he will play with Andreasson and Tyrväinen?
Agreed. I dont think its too far fetched both Schira and Maxwell will leave. Maxwell is a solid center but does not have enough impact as a import player.
Bäckman will unfortunately retire, too bad on that kind of talent.
He was never healthy after coming back to Sweden, either played half a season or just a handful of games. Skipped last season because of it.Did Mattias Bäckman retire? What was his issues, injuries?
There's now rumours he could sign to Finland.
