It's Officially Over in the NHL for a Former 20-Goal Scorer: He Has Signed a Long-Term Contract Overseas and Will Likely Never Return
When Andreas Johnsson was drafted in the 7th round back in 2013 not many expected him to turn into an NHL player of any kind. Luckily for him, he beat the odds and went on to have a decent NHL career. Now it looks like his time in the world's best league may be over though.
Johnsson Joins Brother By Signing With SHL Team
Today it was made official that Johnsson had signed with Skellefteå AIK of the Swedish Hockey League. The deal is good through 2027 meaning Johnsson will very likely never play in North America again. He joins his brother Jonathan who is also on Skellefteå's roster.
Johnsson Calls It A Career In NHL
Johnsson was drafted 202nd overall in 2013. He first made the NHL in the 2017-18 season and continued to play games in the league until last year, where he ended the season with 11 games for the San Jose Sharks. Over the course of his career he put up 259 games played, 48 goals, and 116 points. Most of his success came from the team that drafted him. His time in Toronto included 125 games, 30 goals and 67 points.
