He still helped the team become the Elitserien champion while he was the under-eighteener with the most points scored in the Elitserien.

During the off-season in 2008 he was contracted for one year by HV71. After playing in 10 games, including one CHL game, with HV71, Tedenby was loaned to IK Oskarshamn of the HockeyAllsvenskan.
