In the “for the record” department, HockeySvergie.se’s Rasmus Kagstrom reports that the Malmo Redhawks’ GM, Patrik Sylvegard, is “holding the door open” in case Frans Nielsen wants to play in the SHL this upcoming season.
Nielsen has been previously linked to Malmo as he lives there with his Swedish wife, not that far from his hometown of Herning, Denmark, and Sylvegard suggests to Sydsvenskan’s Kent Lejon Jonsson that, should both Nielsen and Malmo’s fans feel that Nielsen is a good fit, the Redhawks would make such a deal happen.
Good for him. Wind down his playing career at home.
So this ends his previous thought of play in the SHL to get into shape and then check out any NHL opportunities.
Either way, Good for Frans
Doesn’t sound like that at all. More like Malmo will welcome him, should he decide to play in the SHL.
