In an interview with the Blick, HCD's coach Arno Del Curto reveals that he is trying to lure the Swede back to Davos.

Will Anton Rödin soon hit the ice with HC Davos again?

Although Lindgren is back in HCD's lineup, according to Del Curto, the 31-year-old Finnish center still has a lot of work to do in order to regain his accustomed performance and role on the ice.

"I have to find a replacement for Perttu Lindgren. We will have to invest four to eight weeks to get him back on track with a specific build-up training," Del Curto tells the Blick. "We are now trying to bring Anton Rödin back to Davos."

Rödin left HC Davos prematurely this summer to join the Anaheim Ducks on a one-way, one-year deal. The 27-year-old Swede, however, was put on waivers by the Ducks at the end of September and is set to start the season in the AHL.

As the Swedish Aftonbladet reported a couple of days ago, a return to Europe instead of playing with the Ducks' AHL-affiliate team, the San Diego Gulls, is apparently being considered as an option by Rödin.
