Victor Johansson, a 20-year-old Toronto-drafted defenseman from Stockholm, has left Leksands IF for rival Brynäs after expressing a lack of trust in the club's leadership. Leksand head coach Johan Hedberg addressed Johansson's comments, confirming his involvement in a key meeting and highlighting factors affecting the player's ice time. The move comes after Leksand's SHL playoff exit.
Defenceman Lucas Carlsson is returning to the SHL next season with Djurgården, turning down a comeback with Brynäs, according to Expressen. The player spent the last eight seasons in North America playing in the NHL and AHL. His agent declined to comment on specific teams.
