The 20-year-old striker Emil HeinemannWho scored 11 goals for Lakesand last season, was dazzled Montreal Canadiens before the season.
However, according to the information, efforts were not enough to get a place in the NHL team, which means that he will have to wait for growth in Sweden for another year.
“I hope he comes back to us”
According to the agreement between Swedish Hockey and the National Hockey League, Heinemann must return to Leksand if he does not take a place in the NHL.
– Emil falls under this category now. We are still there, Montreal knows this too and we still hope that Emile will come back to us. Now it may take some time, but I hope to have more information during this week, Leksand General Manager Thomas “Tjomme” Johansson tells Sportbladet.
Heinemann will be out for six weeks
Sadly, for both Heinemann and Leksand, the Swede was injured in a pre-season match against Ottawa when he hit the edge.
Montreal announced, Monday evening, Swedish time, on its website that Emil Heinemann suffered a thumb injury that will keep him out of action for six weeks.
– I spoke with Montreal last week and will be in touch with them this week to find out more about the plan regarding Emile. As a rule, the NHL doesn’t send injured players home, but like I said, I haven’t spoken to them yet, so I don’t know exactly how it would turn out in this case, says Thomas Johansson.
