Per Hockeysverige.se and Hockeynews.se, Red Wings prospect Michael Brandsegg-Nygard will not be taking part in the Norwegian National Team’s February participation in the Four Nations Tournament in Oslo.
Norway GM Tobias Johansson tells TV2 that, and I quote:
“We have made the decision that Michael will stay with SkellefteÃ¥. He has been through a year that has contained a lot. Therefore, we agreed that he will remain in Sweden and train. It is both best for him and for us in the long term,” says the national team manager.
“So there is nothing dramatic about rejecting him,” adds Johansson.
