Coach: Leif Boork

Comment: Nicklas Bäckström the young talent of this team is going to play in the Capitals next season and of course this is a huge loss for Brynäs. In the first half of the season he was absolutely brilliant and had the most points. After the christmas break he was not as good but he was still a great asset with his exceptional eye for the game and his intelligence. Brynäs have recruited a sniper in Pavel Brendl who was important for Mora last season and might prove important for Brynäs aswell. however, he has been somewhat of a rebel in other teams and it wouldn't surprise me if he clashes with Leif Boork who has a very strong mind.

Losses: Magnus Lindqvist, mv, slutar, Calle Steen, f, Malmö, Steve Potvin, f, Herning, Andrée Persson, f, Rögle, Martin Thelander, b, Storhamar.

Coach: Leif Strömberg.

Comment: Södertälje had to do the qualifying round to play in Elitserien. In the qual they proved strong and fought well despite losing many players in the end of the season. This year they have recruited many players and have a great talent in Jonas Enroth, the goalie. They won't be easy to beat but I wonder if they have that needed edge in the offensive.

New players: Dick Axelsson, f, Huddinge, Niklas Anger, f, Basel, Edwin Frylén, b, Malmö, David Printz, b, Philedelhpia Flyers.
Rumoured: Michael Holmqvist, c, NHL.
Coach: Hans Särkijärvi.

Comment: Last few seasons Djurgården has had a hard time recruiting the best players but manage to stay in Elitserien nonetheless. They simply don't have the money to compete with Linköping, Frölunda and Färjestad. Holmqvist would be a needed signing but we will have to wait to see what happens.

Coach: Pär Bäckman

Comment: Frölunda coming from a terrible season last year. They were awful for most part but after they signed Pär Bäckman as coach they improved alot. They have recruited some nice players and they sure have the money to do so. The problem with Frölunda might be that they tend to stick with the old players, like Niklas Andersson and Kallio, and seems like this season is no exception. Justin Morrison is a player I know well and he is a fighter and a hard hitter. A real power-forward. On the goalie side Salo has retired and Gistedt will carry a big load here, he will probably do well though in his second season.

Coach: Roger Melin

Comment: Last season was not as terrible as Frölunda but to Färjestads fans it was probably a fiasco since all that counts is gold for many of these guys.

The main worry here is the goalie. Last season they had Daniel Henriksson and eventhough he is inconsistent he has far more routine than Heino-Lindberg. Also interesting to see what Rickard Wallin can do after a few seasons playing abroad

Rumor: Yared Hagos, f, Dallas Stars.
Coach: Kent Johansson (NY)

Comment: An interesting team on paper. Per Ledin will be interesting to see, tough guy with a big heart. He and Jämtin can piss any player off. Kent Johansson, new coach, is also a good signing. Stefan Liv is back after his time in the AHL and will be looking for revenge in Elitserien.

This will likely be a team that will do very well and might even go all the way.

Coach: Janne Karlsson.

Comment: The silver team from last year have some good new recruits in Weinhandl, Surovy and Kim Staahl. They also have some big losses in Magnus Johansson, Holmqvist and Mikko Luoma. Andreas Pihl is back but he has limited qualities, he hits hard and fights well but he lacks speed and doesnt score many goals.

New players: Gusten Törnqvist, mv, Almtuna, Mats Lavander, f, Björklöven, Tommi Miettien, f, Langnau, Robin Olsson, b, Luleå J20.

Coaches: Roger Rönnberg och Roger Kyrö (New)

Comment: I would say last season was a debacle because Luleå had a great team but was terribly inconsistent and also had a big economic scandal and several players chose to leave the team. Mikael Renberg is a big loss of course and other experienced players have left. It's up to many of the young players to do well or this might end very bad.

Modo

Coach: Harald Lückner

Comment: The Gold team of last season! They have lost some players but the only big losses are Morrison and Enström. Kuusela might also be a big loss but he has qualities mostly suited for the big games in the play-offs.

New players such as Wernblom, Warg, Hållberg are good recruitments and Modo might have another team for the gold here!

Also, we should not forget that Peter "The Great" Forsberg hasn't made up his mind yet. He might go for another season in the NHL, retire, or play in MODO. In Elitserien there is no other option than MODO for this guy.

The fact that MODO has managed to keep Krizan, Timander, Sundström and Svartvadet is fantastic for them. All but Krizan have years of experience from the NHL.

Losses Pavel Brendl, f, Brynäs, André Hult, f, Bofors, Jarno Kultanen, b, Södertälje, Mikko Rämö, mv, ej nytt kontrakt.

New players: Toni Dahlman, f, Lukko, Martti Järventie, b, Jokerit, Tomas Harant, b, New Jersey, Johan Lindström, f, Linköping.

Coach: Magnus Arvedsson (New).

Comment: As always Mora is going for low budget solutions and recruit players from all over Europe. The strange thing is that they are always expected to finish way down the table but always fight well enough to stay in the premier division. Pavel Brendl is a big loss and I wonder who can fill the gap that he leaves after him. Harri Rindell is a good coach and it's important for Mora that he stays.

Coach: Perra Johnsson.

Comment: The fighter wernblom is a big loss but of course Renberg is a huge signing. They will need a great season from Hadelöv to stay in Elitserien.

Coach: Charles Berglund (New).

Comment: Timrå coming from a great season but were knocked out by Modo in the quarter finals. Warg and Strålman are big losses but other than that it seems OK. Ryno is hoping for a break-through and is interesting to watch. The new coach has my respect and will do well with these guys.
