Björklöven seeks four more players ahead of SHL return

Björklöven sports chief Per Kenttä is looking to add four players to complete the roster for the team's return to the SHL. He specified two defensemen, one center and one forward as priorities during an interview in Haparanda.

Kenttä noted that the team has already added defenseman Alfred Barklund from AIK. The focus now shifts to adding top-end talent.

"Vi ska ju ha fyra till. Två backar, en center och en forward," Kenttä said. He remains flexible on exact profiles based on market availability.

Recent activity includes Linköping signing center Cooper Marody and Djurgården adding defenseman Nikolas Brouillard. Kenttä explained that the market often moves after July 1 as players reassess options following NHL decisions.
