IL: The star defender of Lukko is transferring to another Liiga club
Defenseman Niclas Almari leaves the Rauma team. According to Iltalehti’s Lätkäpodi podcast, the 27-year-old Almari’s new team is from the Tampere area.
According to Timo Kunnari from Iltalehti, Almari, who is also sought after by Kiekko-Espoo, is very likely to be a player for Tappara next season.
