Season over for Tim Erixon (unless he makes WC team). Färjestad beat Skellefteå in finals 4-1. I didn't see any SEL games this season and can not give a detailed comment, sorry about that. Judging by stats he developed greatly this season. With 24 points in 48 games in regular season he was 10th in scoring among D-men and 68th overall. His 24 points ranked 3th among junior players in the league behind two forwards. He had more powerplay goals than 50-point-Rundblad with 4 which was 6th among blueliners. The only not impressive stat was plusminus with -1 (27-28). Also he's not much of a hitter with 15 in 48 games which was third least on team among players with over half games played. In 18 playoff games he was 14th overall in scoring with 3+5=8 points (2 PPG) and third among D-men. The most encouraging Erixon stat for me was ice time in playoffs. He averaged slightly under 20 minutes per game in regular season (4th in team) but lead the team in ice time in playoffs and by margin of 1:18. His average of 24:03 per game placed him 4th overall. That's impressive for a 20-year-old to deserve 4 more minutes of ice time per game in most important games of season and be ice time leader in top2 team in league.
