Modo looks set to sign another heavyweight deal ahead of Hockeyallsvenskan’s final race.
Fastervik linebacker Daniel Brickley, who scored points for the jumbo table, is said to be in a verbal agreement with the series owner.
It will be a real sprint in this year’s hockey allsvenska.
More teams entered to reach the highest league.
Djurgården brought in signings during the season and more recently Niklas Danielsson and Linus Claassen joined the team. Djurgården also changed coaches to get the most out of the team.
The same goes for Modo, who loaned Lukas Wernblom from Malmö and bought Marcus Vela from Västervik. The price ended up being around SEK 500,000, according to Consistent Information.
Verbal clearance
Now Fasterwick’s star back-up Daniel Brickley is said to be ready for Modo.
It has been for sale recently and according to vt.se, Modo, Björklöven and Djurgården were up for auction. According to information to Sportbladet, Västervik and Modo have verbally agreed to a transfer that will take place in the near future.
With Brickley, Modo gets impressive strength in her defense and also in attack. They already have Pontus Näsén and David Bernhardt as attacking pieces on the backside. But with Brickley, you get Hockeyallsvenskan’s top three players in points for defenders. Brickley magically started the series, getting 11 points in the first six games. After that, it slowed somewhat at the same pace that Västervik lagged behind in the series. The bottom team chooses to sell their stars so as not to jeopardize their elite license and economy and consider themselves to have a decent chance of qualifying negatively against Hokitan, which they will surely end up winning.
