Red Wings goaltending prospect Jesper Eliasson has had a rough go over the past couple of seasons.
He’s only 21, but he’s played for six organizations over the past three seasons, having been loaned out first by the SHL’s Vaxjo Lakers to IK Oskarshamn of the Swedish Allsvenskan, then back to Vaxjo in the SHL, then to Almtuna IS of the Swedish Allsvenskan, then to the Red Bulls Salzburg of the ICE Hockey League, then picked up by Farjestads BK of the SHL, played a game for Farjestad, and then loaned out to Almtuna IS of the Allsvenskan again.
None of this has been good for the 6’3,” 209-pound goaltender’s development, so you can imagine that Eliasson’s stats are not excellent (and they’re pretty bad).
This morning, Expressen’s Adam Johansson and Johan Svensson report that Eliasson’s being returned to Farjestad (which has a full complement of goaltenders) by Almtuna, which is not satisfied with the way things have gone for Eliasson in the Uppsala-based team.
Now Farjestad will have to find a new home for Eliasson, who continues to bounce around like a tennis ball.
