An incredibly tough decision for me and my family to make. We have felt extremely good in the team and the city that is close to our hearts. At the same time, I have reached the point in my career where this opportunity will not arise again, he says to the club's website.
Hultström won the defenders' scoring league in SHL this season and made a total of 96 points in 154 matches in the Linköping jersey.
Even though we have tried to do everything to keep him, we understand that Linus and his family want to take this chance, says the club's sports manager Peter Jakobsson.
A new club for Hultström has not been presented.
