13th year left wing Mattias Tedenby(21) switches up 8 total years (including the last 5) with HV71 of the home country’s top league, SHL and trades it in for the NLA signing with Davos HC for 2019/2020.
Almost a little surprising considering he tied his career high point output with 32 and had an all-time best 20 assists, then adding another 4 points in 9 playoff games.
The 29-year old should do very well in Switzerland’s top league.
Mattias Tedenby (21)
New Jersey Devils‘ 1st round pick in the 2008 draft (#24 overall), Swedish-born 7th year wing Mattias Tedenby(21) will switch shores heading into his 8th pro season.
After three campaigns with HV71 of the SHL, post junior career he joined the Devils‘ system in 2010 and started with minor league affiliate Albany Devils before being recalled for his first NHL games.
He spent most of his time up with the big club in his rookie year, potting 8 goals and 14 assists but came up far under that mark in his sophomore season.
The mini 5’9″ 175 lbs. forward was more able to connect in the AHL scoring, where he was mostly a point-per-every-other-game performer.
Hoping for a new beginning the restricted free agent jumped to play in the KHL with HC Lev Praha.
Unfortunately the team soon after his signing ceased operations for the 2014/2015 season.
The 24-year decided to once again return to his home country team rejoining HV71 for the 2014/2015 campaign.
It seems a bit unlikely of a return to North American hockey but anything is possible in the world of hockey.
