Andreas Wingerli returns to Skellefteå from the NHL.
The famous striker will be the strongest reinforcement in SHL.
“I feel like coming home to win,” says the 24-year-old.
Andreas Wingerley of Lycksele made six first-team seasons at Skellefteå before this season trying to take a place at the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL.
The fast-paced and technical player made a huge impression on the ice in the SHL.
In Denver it was heavier and there were only games in the Colorado Eagles in the AHL.
Andreas Wingerli is the man who will contribute on and off the ice. Sporting director Eric Forsell says he is an important player in both the defensive and offensive game.
What happens is that he has now completed his previous contract with Skellefteå, which runs through the next season.
The new sixth acquisition
SHL-Trean Skellefteå har också klart med målvakten Linus Söderström (Ässät), backarna Arvid Lundberg (Växjö) and Anton Olsson (Malmö) samt attackers Max Lindholm (AIK) and Pär Lindholm (Kazan).
The following players went the other way for the NHL: Adam Welsby (Nashville Predators), Linus Carlson (Vancouver Canucks), Philip Ross (Chicago Blackhawks), Strauss-Mann (San Jose Sharks).
Michael Kapla (Rogel), Stefan Loebel (Mannheim) and Jesse Horlock (the club is not ready) will also leave.
Among the players there are still question marks for Joachim Lindstrom and Melker Carlson.
At the SHL premiere on Saturday 17th September, she will bring Malmö to Västerbotten.
