Still millions of dollars in insurance
Here is today’s happy news for Swedish hockey fans.
Elias Peterson verbally approved Tre Kronor and WC.
One challenge remains – obtaining insurance for Pettersson, which would cost the ice hockey association several million kroner.
Tre Kronor can get a really good and interesting team at the next ice hockey tournament in Tampere.
Many skilled Swedes play on NHL teams that miss the playoffs starting this week.
The biggest names are Elias Peterson, Vancouver Canucks, Eric Carlson and San Jose Sharks.
Elias Peterson to the hockey toilet
Union captain Sam Hallam knows Elias Peterson from his time in Vaxjo and has direct contact with the NHL forward, who scored 102 points for the bottom Canucks last season. Not many Swedes have scored more than 100 NHL points in a season, and with the record he finished 10th in the entire NHL scoring.
According to info to Sportbladet, Elias has agreed to Tre Kronor and of course Tre Kronor wants to be the scoring king to Tampere. The Canucks haven’t yet signed a release for their connection yet and what’s left for that to become a reality is an insurance policy that Elias and the Canucks are happy about.
And it will be pricey.
One million insurance remains for three crowns
Elias is in the prime of his life and insurance must ensure that he does not suffer financially from a possible toilet injury. This means that it will cover the next nine to ten years and, according to reports, will cost the Ice Hockey Federation between two and three million kroner.
The International Ice Hockey Federation helps subsidize the insurance premiums, but a significant portion of the Ice Hockey Federation’s budget will end up being lost.
