Rögle BK is reportedly adding 28-year-old American defenseman Nate Clurman from the AHL for the next SHL season.
According to reports, the club has reached an agreement with Clurman, who played a regular role last season with the Laval Rocket, the Montreal Canadiens' affiliate. Clurman previously spent time in the organizations of the Colorado Avalanche and Pittsburgh Penguins. He made his NHL debut during his stint with the Penguins. The right-shot defenseman is described as a reliable two-way player known for his mobility, physical presence and ability to move the puck out of his own zone. Rögle is undergoing changes on its blue line, with several players expected to depart and uncertainty surrounding another American defenseman, Paul LaDue.
