Internal transfers
Apart from scanning the US market, the SDHL there has been a huge amount of transfers within Sweden over the summer.
Only nine of the top 25 players are still at the same club as last year! Even if you add the top five scoring Luleå HF players into the list of “stayers”, it still less than half of this elite group that is remaining at the same address.
And it two clubs in particular, Brynäs IF and HV71, who have made a clear attempt to hoover up all the best players in the league, plus hiring in from outside to attempt to break Luleå’s dominance over the league.
Former challengers, Linköping HC and Leksand IF, have been weakened in this process and have been stripped of their best players and may not even finish in the top half of the table this year.
Read the coming articles if you want to know where top MODO Hockey's top Canadians Michela Cava (pictured) and Kaitlyn Tougas have moved to as well as Sweden's Anna Borgqvist and Hanna Olsson.
