Michael Brandsegg-Nygård says he has 17 handicap. He said he golfed with Nate Danielson who has 4 handicap. He also recently caught a salmon fishing with teammates, they did not weigh the fish. pic.twitter.com/OJ7lmGtu6V

the former Vålerenga and Mora player basically wants to play next season in the SHL if the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins becomes the alternative.
