5. Skellefteå AIK
The dynamic trio of Joakim Lindström, Oscar Möller and Pär Lindholm collected 139 points together in the regular season, with all three in the top 10 of Total Points. Their dominance upfront, in combination with an outstanding Playoff performance of keeper Joni Ortio, took the team to their seventh final in eight years. Impressive stuff from the club from Västerbotten.
The attacking trio themselves were rewarded with an Olympic Games together although they were not able to produce the same fireworks in Korea as they did in Sweden.
Lindholm is the only of the three who has not won a championship with Skellefteå. Even though he has not been drafted, the talent shines through, and as he is only 26 years old the centre has time on his side to add a Swedish championship onto his palmarès and, maybe, even a year in North America too.
