He didnt feel like he was geting a chance to get into his game in utica, and afger his monoculisis and concussions he needed to get back into The game, hence The Sharks let him go to Sweden. After a good year all SHL Teams wanted to sign him (there is no such thing as a minor league team owned by a shl team here like the NHL/AHL). This year he felt like Timrå had a good chance to be promotwd to The SHL again and he wanted to stay in an attempt of bringing them up again, this time for more than a year.
This year he has been evolving, being team Captain and improving his sight, passning and defensive plays alot. Did well in his games for the national team as The only Allsvenskan player
