Smederna presented a bit surprise earlier today when they announced that they had re-sigened
Maksim Drabik despite him having a disastrous season this year in all leagues.
There has been a development at Dackarna. A person with access to Dackarna's bank accounts received the standard phishing phone call where the one who made the phone call pretends that he/she can help the victim "get their money back". According to dackarna's ordförande (chairman of the board) neither Dackarna or he perpetrator knew that this person had access to Dackarna's bank account. However somehow this person believed the perpetrator(s ) and two payments where made. One payment of 427 000 kronor and one of 249 000 kronor were made, in total almost 700'000 SEK (about 50K GBP).
This is money that Dackarna uses during off season to manage the daily business and other costs that occur during off season. A worst case scenario is that Dackarnas will have to declare bankruptcy, but I don't how likely or unlikely this is.

New play off format.
Top 6 will do a mini play off series. Top 4 in that series to semifinals and two best from semi finals to final.
