Frölunda had no place for Loui Eriksson.
Despite that, the Swedish star wants to return to the SHL.
That means credible data from North America.
Loui Eriksson grew up in Gothenburg and played two seasons in Frölunda, first Västra Frölunda HC, before he traveled to North America to play in the world’s best hockey league.
Gave Eriksson the nob
He has been there since the 2005/06 season and has represented several different NHL clubs. There have been stays in Dallas, Boston, Vancouver and Arizona in that order, where the last time was really tough for the 37-year-old.
After 19 points in 73 games last NHL season, no club wanted to sign the Swede. Instead, he began to direct his eyes back towards Sweden.
The most likely option for Loui Eriksson was, of course, Frölunda. Information from a month ago, however, meant that the club did not want to sign Eriksson.
It was said that Loui Eriksson did not request any further juicy salary. Nor would he have any requirements to play in one of Frölunda’s top chains.
“Will most likely be Sweden”
Although he got the nob from the club where he had his big breakthrough, Loui Eriksson is now said to be determined to return to Swedish hockey anyway.
It is credible journalist Craig Morgan who, among other things, writes that the 37-year-old will most likely play in Sweden next season.
“It will most likely be in Sweden, but he is also looking at opportunities in the Swiss league,” he writes.
Morgan, on the other hand, does not mention any club that has yet shown interest in the Swedish forward.
