The New York Islanders have signed Calle Odelius, their top draft pick (2nd round, 65th overall), to his three-year entry level contract. In a refreshing bit of proactive communication, they also announced he’ll be loaned to Djurgarden of the Swedish top league.
That loan isn’t much of a surprise given his age and development there, but it’s still nice to have it official and short-circuit any “if Odelius has a good camp” blog conversations.
