HV71 will have to compete in relegation playoffs for the third consecutive year to remain in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). The team has one of the league's largest salary budgets and has spent millions on players, yet continues to struggle on the ice. Club chairman Anna-Lena Isaksson says an evaluation will be conducted after the season, citing factors such as turnover among sports directors.
Star player Mattias Tedenby, in his 12th season with the club, acknowledges the situation is not fun but is now focusing on preparing for the upcoming matches.
