The season takes a new turn for John Dahlström.
The forward breaks with Oskarshamn and signs for Djurgården.
– It feels positive to get him into our team building, says Stockholm’s KG Stoppel on the club’s website.
After an autumn in Oskarshamn’s freezer and a loan to the Swedish champions during January, John Dahlström has now finished with a new club.
The SHL club announces that you break your contract with 27-year-olds – and in the same vein he is presented as a new forward in Djurgården.
– It feels good to be able to upgrade the squad with John. He is a versatile forward, who has been productive at SHL level for periods. In addition, he is a hard-working and competitive player who likes to score goals, says Djurgården’s sporting director KG Stoppel on the club’s website.
Won a tug of war with AIK and Brynäs
Brynäs and AIK were also said to be interested in Dahlström after he recently returned to Oskarshamn’s freezer. This according to The Express. But in the end, the choice fell on a Djurgården, which has so far collected around 1.25 million to make a last push before the Allsvenskan playoffs.
Dahlström came to Oskarshamn on loan during the 2017/18 season and then stayed. He was part of the journey up to the SHL and has now made over 200 games and 60 points there.
– John as a person is a very good guy and he is at exactly the right age, says KG Stoppel on the club’s website.
The contract with Djurgården is written over the rest of the season.
