Modo Hockey's sport chief Henrik Gradin revealed the team is targeting at least four forwards and two defensemen to fill key roster gaps. He addressed rumors surrounding potential signings like Gerry Fitzgerald and Max Veronneau. Several contracts remain uncertain as the team builds for the upcoming season.
Henrik Gradin, Modo Hockey's sport chief, described the current period as hectic with rapidly passing days. In an update on Tuesday afternoon, he outlined the team's needs: at least four forwards—including two centers for the top lines—and two defensemen capable of playing in the first two pairings. Some existing contracts include opt-outs, making the exact number of openings fluid until deadlines pass, Gradin explained. “It depends a bit, we have some contracts with outs. They are not secure until the dates have passed. But at least four forwards and two backar,” he said, using the Swedish term for defensemen. (150 words so far, but continuing to count properly. Wait, no—I'll count at end.)
