Malmö Redhawks
Two years ago the Redhawks knocked out Växjö in the quarterfinals and the teamlist from last year looked like they might go further. But it was not to be, and this summer the tram had been stripping out of the team of many of the best players. So I think they will be in places 6-10 this year.
However, Danes Frederik Storm and Nichlas Hardt remain and there is also young potential star, defenseman Malte Setkov (photo). The 198cm tall, 19 year old was drafted in 2017 by Detroit Red Wings but has not yet had the chance to prove himself in the SHL.
They will be joined by former Skellefteå AIK back, Henrik Hetta, one of the SHL's more underrated Swedes, by my estimation. The 28 year old returns to the club where he spent four years, including his first season at SHL level.
The only non-Danish import player is newly recruited Austrian, Konstantin Komarek. At only 25 he has already played seven of the last 10 years in the Sweden, including one year in Malmö. The club will be looking for him to be creating goals and be ringing the siren on a regular basis again.
