After all the speculation and rumours, Jonathan Dahlen has a team for the 2017-18 season. The Vancouver Canucks prospect missed the Young Stars Tournament and training camp due to mononucleosis, putting a stall on his season.
Mike Zanier reported a rumour that Dahlen was likely to sign with Linkoping of the SHL. Early yesterdaymorning, the Sport Bladet reported that Vaxjo and Linkoping were pursuing Dahlen. The outlet then said his decision would come between Byrnas IF of the SHL and Timra IK of the Allsvenskan. From the translation, the article noted that signing in the Allsvenskan would allow Dahlen to sign a short-term deal as the SHL does not permit shorter contracts.
