Dick Axelsson revealed to TV station SVT (relayed by Expressen.se) during the second intermission of HC Davos' game against Linköping HC that he will most likely return to the SHL as of the 2017-18 season.

The forward is currently not able to play due to a knee injury (expected return in two weeks) and was in Sweden to see a specialist. His absence fueled rumors about him leaving Davos in the near future. A rumor, which was denied by the player as well as the club. However, it now seems like that his departure has just been delayed until the summer.

The forward is expected to travel back with Davos on Wednesday. This season, he has only been able to play in one regular season game for HCD due to injury.
