With the NHL signing deadline for European players approaching on June 15, speculation continues around Örebro's Robin Salo. A hockey expert believes the Finnish defenseman will remain in the SHL this season.
Robin Salo joined Örebro from Malmö Redhawks after a strong season. In earlier comments, he left the door open to an NHL contract but stressed that any offer would need to be substantial.
Silly season expert Johan Svensson, known as "MrMadHawk," appeared on the podcast "Nedsläpp Örebro" last week. He argued that Salo is unlikely to sign with an NHL team.
Svensson pointed to Salo's exclusion from Finland's World Championship roster, which won gold in Switzerland, as a key factor. He said a strong tournament performance would have changed the situation.
Salo is expected to play for Örebro in the upcoming season unless a suitable NHL offer materializes before the deadline.
