As Le Journal de Jura reports, EHC Biel's team manager Martin Steinegger was apparently able to close the deal this afternoon and ensured that the 31-year-old forward will join the Seelanders for the upcoming season.
Arlbrandt already knows one of his new teammates: NIklas Olausson. They played together for three seasons, one of them for Västerås (08/09) in the Allsvenskan (second highest Swedish League), where they put up records together (highest point total (71) for Arlbrandt in league history, highest assist total (56) by Olausson) and then in the SHL for Luleå (2009-2011).
Pär Arlbrandt scored 71 points (26 goals, 45 assists) in 53 games in the regular season for Linköping last year, a point production which earned him the spot of the SHL-topscorer last season. His postseason was also quite good with ten points in 14 games.
UPDATE EHC Biel confirms the signing of Pär Arlbrandt. He has agreed to a one-year contract and will thus stay until 2015. He will join the team at the beginning of August. - 23 July 2014, 6:05 PM
