As you see from my previous post, Timrå is currently in third place, so even though they still have a theoretical chance of getting promoted (see above) that chance is rather slim.
Jonathan Dahlén is the best player of the league though, and really has no business playing there.
After 40 games he has 58 points (23+35) is a healthy +15 and averages 20 minutes per game as a winger.
Also leads the league in shots, 170shots in just 40 games...
He really should be in the SHL, because this league is no challenge for him, but I guess his ego got so bruised in Utica that he just wanted to backtrack and go back to where he felt safe. I still see him as NHL material, but he would prepare better for that by playing against better players.

Joe Cannata is a huge part of Björklöven's success this season.
The former Canuck has 27 wins and just 6 losses this season. 5 shutouts. A 1.53 GAA and a .941 svs%.
To make things even better, his backup has posted similar GAA and svs numbers (although typically at weak teams), so Björklöven are looking really steady in the crease.

In the SHL Anton Rödin is having a pretty good season with 30 points in 34 games (9+21).
Höglander has had a bit of a dry spell, but has 12 points (7+5) in 26 games.
Probably needs to spend another season at this level before being brought over.
