Petteri Wirtanen, here in Jokerit, is ready for Djurgården
Djurgården has completed a new center.
According to the data of Sportbladet, he is in agreement with the former center of the World Cup Petteri Wirtanen, 32 years old.
"I do not want to confirm or deny," said Djurgården's sports director Joakim Eriksson.
Djurgården missed several heavy names in the fall. Andreas Engqvist has played only a few games since he had a brainwashing symptom again. Another known player, Dick Axelsson, also felt injured and played and coached only sporadically. Despite the heavy cuts, the SHL table is being added.
Djurgården has already expressed his interest in the return home of Axel Jonsson Fjällby. But you've also been looking for a center, because you dare not expect Andreas Engqvist to play more this season.
And according to the tasks of Sportbladet, you now have a nap.
It is Finn Petteri Wirtanen who played in the fall with a short term contract with TPS Turku. He scored 11 points (3 + 8) in 16 games. The center 186 cm long and 89 kilograms of heavyweight cut a little over 18 minutes / match in Liiga.
"It's no secret to us that we are looking at the market after the centers because Andreas Engqvist's concussion symptoms persist and will last a very long time. There have been several Finnish centers on the market, as well as transatlantic factories. At the same time, we welcome the play of Albin Lundin in our fourth channel, writes Joakim Eriksson in a text.
However, he does not want to confirm that Wirtanen is the one with Djurgården.
Played in the NHL and the World Cup
Wirtanen has played hockey in the KHL with Jokerit over the past four seasons. However, not in an offensive role and the production of scores was modest. A total of 257 KHL matches, Wirtanen, who also played for Donbass Donetsk, scored 70 points.
Petteri Wirtanen also played three NHL games with the Anaheim Ducks and also competed in the 2014 World Cup with Finland.
The fact that Djurgården has now finished with Wirtanen reinforces the image that Andreas Engqvist is far from playing.
Sportbladet has been looking for Djurgården's sports director, Joakim Eriksson.
