After the season ended with the loss of the round of 16 against Oskarshamn at the end of March, Emil Heineman was the first to sign a contract with Montreal a few days later.
Since then, it has rolled on and six players have taken the step over to the NHL.
It could also be a seventh because hill Lian Bichsel is in the draft in early July.
The large move of top players greatly affects team building.
- Before the summer it felt quite calm but then it was a bit grand which is incredibly fun for the guys and their journey and also for us who work with the players who want to see a development and that they take the next step, says General Manager Thomas Johansson in a web interview on your own website.
- But there will be some main concern about how we should do to take team building further, Johansson thinks.
Did you expect that there would be as many as six people leaving for the NHL?
- No, I had not actually done that.
Admittedly, draft players can miss, but that there would be six I had not expected, a couple I had seen as more likely.
Sex is a bit too many, says Johansson to Leksand's website.
Now Johansson will take a break to celebrate Midsummer in Leksand - with his mobile phone switched off.
