Key details
Djurgården has loaned experienced forward Daniel Brodin to HockeyAllsvenskan leaders Björklöven for a short loan of five matches. At 35 years old, Brodin has struggled for ice time this SHL season, appearing in only 13 games without scoring any points. The loan will allow him to play more regularly and bring his experience to Björklöven, who currently lead the league with a nine-point margin over second-place BIK Karlskoga.
Björklöven's sports manager, Per Kenttä, expressed gratitude to Djurgården for the arrangement, saying, "He is a player that fits well into what we are looking for right now." Brodin will join the team in Umeå on Tuesday and will be eligible to play against Östersund on Wednesday.
Niklas Wikegård, Djurgården's sports director, also praised the loan, highlighting the benefit for Brodin to get more ice time with a high-performing team during this period. Brodin returned to Djurgården in 2022 after three seasons in Switzerland and has been looking for opportunities to contribute more on the ice. This loan reflects a strategic move by both clubs to maximize player development and competitive success.
