Team: Joel Nystrom

Fantasy Summary

Strong skater who plays big minutes for one of the better teams in the SHL. Defense is ahead of offense, but the offense has some indications that show room for growth and potential. Could play NHL games later down the line.

August 2024 – Nystrom has signed a contract extension with Farjestad BK in the SHL until the end of the 2025-26 season. In his third SHL season, Nystrom seems to have taken another step in his development, posting career highs in goals (six), assists (17), and points (24). The 21-year-old has consistently been playing on the top pairing for Farjestad, as well as chipping in on both the power play and penalty kill. Nystrom was quoted as saying that the NHL is still his dream, but he is in no rush to get there, which is proven by this extension. The Hurricanes have until June 1st, 2025, to sign him to an entry-level contract but have the ability to move him to North America if they think he is better suited in the AHL. Nick Bass
