HV71 har faktiskt bekräftat avgången av huvudtränaren Tommy Samuelsson. Efter att ha ställts inför utmaningar under de senaste säsongerna, inklusive förändringar i listan och svängande prestanda, bestämde sig klubben för att göra ändringar i sin coachpersonal före säsongen 2024-2025. Samuelsson hade ett långvarigt förhållande med laget men kämpade för att producera konsekventa resultat under de senaste säsongerna. Beslutet återspeglar HV71:s avsikt att återuppbygga och sträva efter starkare prestationer i SHL
After signing with Seattle, Oscar Fisker Mølgaard should stay another year in Europe
Oscar Fisker Mølgaard, 19, has signed a three-year, two-way, entry-level contract with the Seattle Kraken worth an average of $950,000 US per season, the NHL club announced on Friday.
“We are excited for Oscar to officially join our organization,” Kraken GM Ron Francis said on the team’s website. “He has already demonstrated the ability to play at a high level in the Swedish Hockey League and at the World Championships and we look forward to his continued development.”
As with many entry-level deals for young Europeans who are probably not quite ready to step into the NHL, signing the contract does not mean he’ll be going to North America immediately. While playing for the AHL’s Coachella Valley Firebirds next season is certainly a possibility, Mølgaard seems to be developing at a good pace in Sweden with HV71, and that might be the ideal place for him to continue in 2024-25.
