According to Chris Johnston of Sportsnet, the Philadelphia Flyers will be signing Swedish Hockey League (SHL) forward Linus Sandin to an entry-level contract once this season concludes. Johnston notes that Sandin hasn’t officially signed the deal yet, but the Swede has decided to become a member of the Orange and Black over some other NHL clubs.
Sandin, the older brother of Toronto Maple Leafs’ defenseman Rasmus Sandin, is a 23-year-old right winger who stands at 6’1” weighing 209 pounds. His 19 goals in 51 games led HV71 while his 36 points was good enough for second on the team behind d-man Johannes Kinnvall.
