Färjestad BK is reportedly close to securing a long-term deal with coach Cam Abbott. The agreement follows his interim hire and the team's improved performance. Only minor details remain before finalizing a three-year contract.
Cam Abbott was hired by Färjestad BK for the rest of the season after the club parted ways with Jörgen Jönsson. This move came after Abbott was fired from his position with the Chicago Wolves, the AHL affiliate of the Carolina Hurricanes. Under Abbott's leadership, Färjestad improved during the regular season and finished fifth in the standings, positioning them as one of the hottest teams heading into the playoffs, according to reports from VF (Värmlands Folkblad). VF states that the parties are practically agreed on a long-term contract, with only details remaining. A three-year deal is said to be on the table.
