Modo is set to end its association with forward Linus Andersson. The club will instead extend the contract of Måns Carlsson.
According to Expressen, Modo and Linus Andersson will go separate ways after his single season with the team. Andersson arrived from Vaasa in Finland, where he recorded 29 points in 45 games, but his stint in Modo did not meet expectations and rumors of a departure had circulated for some time. A return to Finland is seen as the most likely next step for the player.
