John Nyberg is ready for his fourth SHL club. Backen changes Linköping to HV71.
– In John we get a back who gives us security in the defensive, says sporting director Kent Norberg in a press release.

After 150 SHL games for Frölunda, 61 with Brynäs and 136 with Linköping, John Nyberg is now ready for games with HV71.

The 27-year-old has signed for three years in the qualifying team.

– In John, we get a back who gives us security in the defensive, but also with an offensive upside and a good shot. He doesn’t shy away from using his size and is happy to be active in the physical game, says Kent Norberg, sports director in HV71.

Nyberg comes closest from almost three full seasons in Linköping. There were 14 points in 45 SHL games last season.

– I hope to contribute with a stable defensive and also be a threat in the offensive zone, says John Nyberg himself.

Luleå is looking for forward reinforcements for next season. According to NSD är Klubben nu i lått gångna förhandlingar med den finske centern Eetu Koivistoinen.

28-year-old Eetu Koivistoinen has spent the last three seasons playing in the Finnish capital club HIFK. Next season there could be games in Sweden for the Finn.

According to NSD should Luleå be in advanced negotiations with the center who this season produced 35 points (19+16) in 47 games for HIFK. Yesterday, assistant general manager Ulf Engman confirmed to the newspaper that he was in advanced negotiations with an unnamed player.

– It is close. But exactly when and if it will be ready, I cannot say today, he said then.

Koivistoinen has spent his entire career in the Finnish league, where he represents Lukko and HIFK. In 2021, he became champion with Lukko and was also the best player in the playoffs after scoring 15 points on Elva Matcher when Lukko won the championship. Samma Säsong debuterade han even i det finska landlaget.

In total, the 28-year-old has accounted for 239 points in 456 games in the Finnish top league during his career.

Oscar Engsund participated and left the SHL with Oskarshamn in the qualifier against HV71.
Now the hill is ready for play in – HV71.
– It feels very good to be back and I had two good years last in HV71, says the player in a press release.

HV71 stayed in the SHL by winning match seven in the qualifier against Oskarshamn, who then left the top league. Now HV71 also carry out a recruitment coup and bring in Oskarshamn’s back star Oscar Engsund.

The 30-year-old signed a six-year contract with Oskarshamn before the season, a contract that was then canceled when the club fell out of favor.

The captain now chooses to remain in the SHL, and it will also be a sensitive club choice in HV71, which thus played down Oskarshamn in the Hockeyallsvenskan.

– Oscar is a strong leader and one of the league’s best defensive backs. We are very happy that he chooses HV71 and he will be important for us in the future, says sporting director Kent Norberg.

Oscar Engsund has been writing for four years

Oscar Engsund has previously spent seven seasons in Luleå, who were also interested in signing him. But now it is clear that there will be a continuation in Småland.

– It feels very good to be back and I had two good years last in HV71 where I enjoyed both the city and the club. I’ve had a good chat with coach Anton Blomqvist recently and liked what I heard about his view of HV71 going forward.

The new contract is written over the next four seasons.
