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.

April 2025 – With Nystrom’s season over after Farjestad lost in the first round of the SHL playoffs, he is expected to join the Chicago Wolves in the coming weeks. In 57 games this season, he had six goals and 22 assists for 28 points, setting a new career high in points and assists. His smooth skating and 200-foot ability make Nystrom a compelling prospect with the potential to play NHL games within the next few seasons. Nick Bass

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 and chipping in on both the power play and penalty kill. Nystrom said that the NHL is still his dream, but he is in no rush to get there, which this extension proves. The Hurricanes have until June 1st, 2025, to sign him to an entry-level contract but can move him to North America if they think he is better suited in the AHL. Nick Bass
