If the following 2 articles from HabsNation are correct, it sounds like the Habs want Nygren to come to compete for a spot in training camp.
If he doesn't make it, things will be interesting as it sounds like they want him to play in Hamilton, but he may want a trade instead. It's too bad because Hamilton would be perfect for him. He tore up the Sweedish league when he went back: 12 goals and 20 points in 25 games played.

Camp will be interesting with 4 not-so-young-anymore dmen knocking at the door:
Beaulieu (22 in December), Tinordi (22), Pateryn (24), and Nygren (24).

HABS TALKED TO NYGREN ABOUT POSSIBLITY ON BEING TRADED
The Montreal Canadiens have had discussions with Swedish prospect Magnus Nygren about potentially being traded if he no longer fits in their plans, according to Ola Winther of Hockey Sverige.
“We’ve talked about a possible trade I would not bring a sweater and we’ll see what happens now in the next few weeks as well, in connection with the draft and so. They have said that they do not stand in the way if I want to become traded, as long as they can get something back. “They have told me that they want me to go over and join in and fight for a place, then we will see what happens.

CANADIENS WANT MAGNUS NYGREN TO PLAY IN NORTH AMERICA NEXT SEASON
According to Johan Ekberg sports journalist in Sweden a Montreal Canadiens source has said that they would like defence prospect Magnus Nygren to play hockey in North America for this upcoming season.
“According to source, Montreal has made it clear that they want to Magnus Nygren play in North America next season.“
Nygren, 23, started this past season with the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs in where he played in 16 games before returning back home to Sweden due to numerous reasons, the main being he wanted to play in the NHL and not in the minors with the Dogs’.
Nygren will have one year left on his 2 year entry-level deal he signed last year and already with one year burnt out the Montreal Canadiens would like their 4th round draft pick of the 2011 NHL entry draft to stay with the team in North America.
