Defenseman Nicklas Grossmann agreed to join Allsvenskan club Sodertalje SSK in Sweden, as profiled by the team's website (via ProHockeyTalk).

The imposing defenseman earned a four-year contract extension worth $14 million on April 7, after adding a much-needed physical presence to the Flyers' blueline.
