HV71, playing in the Swedish SHL, wants to part ways with forward Oskar Stål Lyrenäs, 28. According to Sportbladet the report, the player has been informed that he should look for a new club.

According to the Swedish newspaper, Liiga clubs are interested in acquiring the forward.

Stål Lyrenäs signed an extension with HV71 in January that runs until the spring of 2028, but has almost entirely been without playing time this season under new head coach Niklas Eriksson.

At his best, the forward has scored 15 goals and 33 points in 46 games in the SHL while playing for Rögle. In the following season, he recorded 25 points in 46 games with HV71.

This season, he has played seven games in the SHL without scoring any points.

Stål Lyrenäs is also being pursued by SHL club Björklöven as well as HockeyAllsvenskan’s AIK and Modo.

The sports director of HV71, currently at the bottom of the SHL, Johan Hult, refused to comment on the transfer speculation to Sportbladet.
