During Friday, Djurgården said goodbye to six players on the team who were unable to return to the SHL.
Power striker Liam Öhgren has already been presented as being ready for Färjestad.
The other five who don’t fit into the squad build are Niklas Danielsson, Stefan Elliott, Matthew Galagda, Johan Alm and Fredrik Forsberg.
After failing not to return directly from Hockeyallsvenskan, Djurgården is rebuilding.
Sports director KG Stoppel has already thanked Linus Arnesson, who is going to Örebro.
Stefan Elliott was one of the best linebackers in the entire playoffs, but maybe he’s not a good match for them financially.
Nicklas Danielsson returned to Djurgården during the season and had to play instead of attacking at the age of 38.
Goalkeeper Matthew Galagda has struggled to get playing time behind Karl Lindbom and loanees Jesper Meirenberg in the play-offs.
Johan Alm had a long-term injury and Friedrich Forsberg found it difficult to fill in on a regular basis.
Three new acquisitions are evident
All five of these players had contracts expired after the season.
Noah Ostlund, Jonathan Lecrimäki, Carl Lindbom and Callie Odelius are all likely to join teammate of the year Liam Ogren in the SHL.
The obvious new signings for Djurgården are goalkeeper Victor Andrin from Almtuna, striker Albin Griwe from Mura and Anton Gradin from Tingsred.
It is still not clear if Johan Garbinlöf will continue as head coach.
Djurgården lost their seventh deciding final against MODO in Örnsköldsvik with a score of 4-0 on the eve of the Waalborg Fair.
