Axelsson hasn't been able to find his groove with Frölunda in the Elitserien, and therefore it didn't come as a surprise when he decided to move to Timrå for the upcoming season. Timrå is known for being a good development place for young players.
Axelsson is a steady checker who always plays the game with high intensity and a lot of jump. He might not have a high upside as an offensive winger, but if he can add some more strength and become even more physical, then he could have a shot at cracking the NHL some day as a third-line checking winger.
He needs a big year with Timrå in order to secure a contract with the Wings. So far in the preseason he has been playing on the top lines and has also registered a few goals, which might bode well.
The great one: RV har alltid varit ett löst sammansatt kompisgäng som haft ett gemensamt intresse för läktarkultur. Det finns ingen ingångsrit eller medlemskap, RV existerar bara på läktaren - därav en läktargrupp.
