"We told Daniel that we want him. We are going to sign him. But he'll spend next season with Djurgården on loan. It's the best option for both us and him", Red Wings scout Håkan Andersson told Aftonbladet.

Kudos to Teeman for the Sig

There you go. His saves percentage is third in the league and his GAA is fourth, so he's been very good. But keep in mind that he plays on a very defensive-minded kind of team.

He's faced the second most shots in the league and has over 100 mins less playing time and 3 starts fewer than the guy who's faced the most. So I don't know if I agree with that statement. He posted another shutout tonight, totaling 6 for the season (second in the league), bringing his sv% up to 91.85, and his GAA to a 2.32 (second in the league).

Well I hope they actually do sign the guy. A lot more stability that Liv and with better potential. Letting him play in Sweden isn't a bad idea and hopefully he'll get some world championship ice-time as well. I don't want to lose the guy.

Alright, he played on a team that likes to clog up the neutral zone. Good enough for you?

Could him staying in Sweden next year mean that Jimmy may be destined for a final year in the GR?

What kind of color is red? Red is a warning, a declaration, a color that says I'm ready to do what it takes. Red is focused and driven because red doesn't like second place. So what kind of color is red? Their kind.
