Already after the 2019-2020 season, there was talk of an NHL move for the now 27-year-old center.
But then he chose to nob the NHL offers and stay in Färjestad.
FBK also chose to extend the contract and give Rydahl an increased salary. Then came a long-term injury, which meant that he played only nine games the season after.
But he has fought back and is now coming from perhaps his best season of his career. Leading player for Färjestad, Olympic games and one of the team's best scoring players during the Swedish Championship play-offs.
Now the career goes on.

Like I told you a couple of weeks ago Strong on puck, fantastic even and especially up against the boards. Can play C and W but I would use him as W since his faceoffs sucks.

Great, he'll fit in right away then!

Play him with a good center and a sniper and he will act like their tank. I would think he's a third maybe secondline on a good day forward in NHL.

Does he play a strong defensive game as a center?

Eliteprospects says his contract runs through 22/23. Is that accurate? Can he break that contract and come over next season?

Yes, I think so and he plays a gritty game.
He has an NHL out and have used it.

From EliteProspects page:
"Rydahl is a physical powerforward who plays with a lot of grit. Loves to agitate opponents and takes advantage when players cannot handle their temper. Owns a decent shot, useful in boxplay and a tremendous team player. - David Enbom (2019)

Sure, why not. Free is free.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Free asset. Can't really go wrong. Worst case scenario he's another Lindqvist and he goes back after a few months.

 

[Bluto]

Sounds like a Soderberg-esq player? Is that accurate?

I was thinking former Islander great Konopca

I'm still unhappy that Ambuhl didn't work out.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Scouting report reads like Andreas Jamtin. Remember him? Not getting too worked up, but it's worth a shot.

 

[huerter]

We got our Mikheyev!

What about in place of nemeth?

Why not wait until its official which why I said rumor. Didn’t we see a rumor like this to never happen? I hope he is good enough to help this team.

[LoveGoons]

Can you win a face off on a regular basis?If so I’m totally in.

 

[huerter]

First clip in his highlight vid he passes up a chance alone with the goaltender for a royal road pass. Upping my crystal ball to 99.

So he would fit in, but wait he is a physical player, and he gets involved in scrums. He won’t fit in that well then. At least he won‘t skate away.
