Swedish forward Samuel Fagemo has reportedly agreed to a longer-term contract with Frölunda starting next season, according to Expressen. The 26-year-old has struggled to secure NHL ice time with the Winnipeg Jets this year. He returns after previously playing for the club as a junior.
Samuel Fagemo, a 26-year-old right-handed forward, has not featured in the NHL for the Winnipeg Jets during the current season. In the AHL, his production has been modest at 30 points over 58 games, a departure from his prior scoring form on the farm circuit where he tallied points near NHL readiness levels in previous years. Expressen reports that Frölunda has secured him on a multi-year deal beginning next season, bringing him back to Sweden. Fagemo last suited up for Frölunda in the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons, registering 13-14 goals and 22-25 points in 42 games as a junior player. His NHL experience totals 3 goals and 1 assist in 21 games split between Los Angeles and Nashville. Across 326 AHL appearances, he has amassed 232 points, including 148 goals and 84 assists. This move positions Fagemo as a direct replacement for Jere Innala, whose contract with Frölunda expires and who is rumored to join a Swiss club next season. The news emerged on Wednesday at 14:04.
