Also the previous year, although he got more top level games, he also got went as low as the 3rd league for a while.
The team he is on loan to is 2nd in the league and if he doesn't come across next season hopefully he will be a regular player in the Elitserien.
Given the lack of scorers in the Flames system I think Bjorklund shouldn't be written off just yet.

For sure, the stats I presented don't tell the full story. If we compare Backlund's short time in the
Allsvenskan, he has similar stats (however shallow that comparison may be).
Wouldn't mind seeing him come over to North America in a year or two to see how he fairs in the AHL.
