Swedish HockeyAllsvenskan club AIK is pursuing veteran goaltender Jhonas Enroth for next season, according to reports. The move would pair him with existing keepers Victor Brattström and Simon Carlsson. External funding is said to enable the potential signing.
AIK is working on a significant reinforcement to its goaltending roster ahead of the upcoming campaign. Expressen reports that 37-year-old Jhonas Enroth, who turns 38 this summer, is a target for the club. Despite already having Victor Brattström and Simon Carlsson under contract—with Carlsson's extension expected to be formalized—AIK seeks further strengthening, viewing Enroth's addition as a major upward push in HockeyAllsvenskan's most experienced tandem. External financing would make the deal feasible, sources indicate. Enroth served as Örebro Hockey's top goaltender last season but parted ways after failing to agree on a new contract. Örebro instead signed Filip Larsson from Leksand. Södertälje SK, where Enroth helped promote the club to Elitserien two decades ago, was another option, but Hockeynews reports SSK has committed to Love Härenstam and Theodor Munther with no plans or budget for another keeper. AIK has also explored bringing back forward Robin Kovacs, though he favors other clubs. The team recently extended young forward Borna Kopac's deal but still needs to fill gaps on defense and among forwards.
