Sportbladet writes that several NHL clubs are looking for Theodore Linstrom, 28.
Färjestad’s success now confirms that there is interest:
– If a good opportunity arises, of course, there is probably no player who would refuse it, he says.
In Thursday’s silly uproar, Sportbladet spoke about the huge interest in Theodor Linström. Few NHL clubs should be so hungry for a skilled defender.
Against Brynäs, Lennström certainly did not lower its market value. He scored Färjestad’s last two goals in a 3–2 win. The decisive goal after a powerful shot with only four minutes remaining:
– I had a situation before so I had to learn my lesson. He tried shooting over the shin guard and it was a perfectly placed shot this time, he says.
Theodor Linstrom is back to the same form he was in last fall before the injury caused him to miss 12 games. Despite the long injury spell, he leads the defenders’ scoring league with eleven goals. He also has the highest scoring impression average.
Many rated him as the best defender in the SHL and of course the NHL clubs also noticed this.
I know there was really interest after last season and also this season. Nothing concrete, but there was interest. But that will come later in this case.
Another gold burn with Färjestad
Is a one-way contract (same salary in the NHL as the AHL) applicable if you’re going?
—I have not had time to think so far, but if I were to think so, I must see the possibility that I might really have a chance of playing. Otherwise, I don’t think there is any point in traversing. I am 29 years old and not 22 years old anymore. It should be an incredibly good opportunity in such cases, Linstrom says.
Hockey life is very good in Karlstad and Varjestad?
– Sure, then of course you dream of the NHL, you’ve been doing it since you were little. If a good opportunity arises, of course, there is probably no player who would refuse it.
But winning another SM gold with Färjestad is what he’s most focused on right now:
– I’m incredibly hungry for another SM gold and I think there’s a lot of potential in our team to take it, and then you have to ask questions about the future when it comes.
