Jonathan Lecrimaki, 18, is about to make a choice.
According to information to Sportbladet, the Djurgården sniper is ending negotiations with Örebro.
Djurgården fell dramatically in the deciding final against Modo with SHL’s place in the betting. Another year in Allsvenskan is not very interesting for the talented 04s, who are now starting to prepare for the SHL clubs.
Liam Öhgren has been introduced by Färjestad and goalkeeper Carl Lindbom is expected to follow the same path.
Noah Östlund is pursued by Skellefteå and Jonathan Lekkerimäki by a number of clubs, including Leksand and Örebro.
And according to information provided to Sportbladet, most things now say Örebro will win the tug-of-war.
The parties are in final negotiations and a choice must be made before the end of the weekend.
In Örebros he is seen as a perfect replacement for Linus Öberg, who left for Frölunda
15 points in 15 games in the playoffs
Lekkerimäki’s NHL Vancouver Canucks club, with Swedish general manager Patrik Allvin, has a lot to say about their current club selection. The fact that he is in good contact with Örebro sporting director Niclas Ericsson and coach Johan Hedberg was not a hindrance in the negotiations. Orebro can also serve as a dedicated role at the top of the hierarchy and as a right-handed shooter in the powerplay.
Jonathan Lecrimaki had a chaotic regular season with JVM games and illness and injuries. But in the playoffs, he really eased it up and the young right-hander scored 15 points in as many games and was ahead of only Linus Klassen and Markus Kruger in the scoring league.
