Brandsegg-Nygard’s return to Skelleftea is big news in Sweden

The Red Wings’ decision to send Michael Brandsegg-Nygard back to Sweden is big news there, and Aftonbladet’s Jonathan Pinhiero Diamant and Tomas Ros spoke with MBN’s European agent about the move:

Brandsegg-Nygard is the first Norwegian to ever be drafted in the first round. Now he comes to a Skelleftea team that has started the SHL season well, and is in second place.

“He did a great camp and they were super happy with him. Several good games against NHL resistance,” his agent, Andreas Johansson, told Sportbladet.

He also tells us that there will not be a game on Thursday against Rogle, but hopefully against Timra two days later.

“Now he’s ready to play with Skelleftea AIK this season. There won’t be a game on Thursday, but we aim for Saturday,” Johansson said.
