Defenceman Lucas Carlsson is returning to the SHL next season with Djurgården, turning down a comeback with Brynäs, according to Expressen. The player spent the last eight seasons in North America playing in the NHL and AHL. His agent declined to comment on specific teams.
Lucas Carlsson, who has played the past eight seasons in North America across the NHL and AHL, will return to the SHL for the upcoming season. Reports from Expressen indicate that the defenceman has reached an agreement with Djurgården, opting against rejoining Brynäs, the club he previously represented. This decision marks his new club address in Sweden. This season, Carlsson appeared in 13 NHL games for the San Jose Sharks and 53 AHL contests with the San Jose Barracuda. His agent, Martin Nilsson, responded to Expressen via SMS: “Kommenterar inte enskilda lag, det är upp till dem. Lucas och hans familj ser över alla alternativ,” which translates to not commenting on individual teams and that Lucas and his family are reviewing all options. The news was published yesterday at 19:57 on HockeyNews.se, citing Expressen as the source.
