Frölunda is looking for younger alternatives to his squad for next season.
Now you can be on your way to picking up a coveted name.
At the same time, you can also sniff league competitors on the star’s signature.
Frölunda is currently fourth in the SHL after more than half the season has been played. And ahead of the coming season, the Gothenburgers seem to be looking to rejuvenate their squad, especially on the attacking side.
Frölunda’s plan
As you know, the club has the club icon Joel Lundqvist as one of their centers, but the 40-year-old is not getting any younger and there have previously been rumors that this season will be Lundqvist’s last. He himself has previously shot down the rumours, but it seems clear that Frölunda sees a future without, among others, Joel Lundqvist.

According to Expressen, they have now set their sights on 25-year-olds Simon Ryfors, who currently belongs to the NHL club Tampa Bay Lightning but where he mainly played in the farm team Syracuse Crunch where he averaged about one point per game. Ryfors was brought up in Hanhals but then worked his way into Rögle’s A-team, and the club from Ängelholm should, according to the newspaper, also be keen to bring in Simon Ryfors.

Can outwit the competitor
But the competition will be fierce, to say the least, now that even Frölunda has joined the hunt to snuff out Rögle’s signature. Under the condition that Ryfors chooses to play in Europe and that he does not choose to play in Switzerland. The advantage for Frölunda in this case is that Rögle has already signed in Rodrigo Abols at the same time that Fredrik Olofsson may be on his way back to Europe, which means that they already have a good team on the center side.
