    Default Anders Nilsson- Buyer Beware

    Arthur Staple ‏@StapeNewsday 56m

    Appears Anders Nilsson won't be back w/ #Isles next season. Looking for one-way deal that he won't get from team. SHL/KHL likely next stop.

    Translated from expressen.se:

    VM brokers Anders Nilsson guard Tre Kronor goals against the Czech Republic at odds Hockey Games .

    He wants to continue in the NHL , but do not intend to play more in the New York Islanders farm team .

    - I've told them I'm not going to go over and play AHL for another year, says Nilsson SportExpressen.se .
    Email

    The former Lulea goalie Anders Nilsson , 24, is ready to make World Cup debut in the Three Crowns .

    Three years in the New York Islanders organization has made him a better goalie in every way.

    The majority of the time he has spent in Farm Team Bridgeport, but this season he finished in the NHL with the Islanders , one of the league's weaker teams .

    Nilsson's contract with the Islanders go out of our way and now the question is whether he will remain.

    One thing is certain .

    - I've told them I'm not going to go over and play AHL for another year, says Nilsson and explains:

    - I have done for three years in the AHL and I do not think it would be good for my development to play a fourth year in the AHL . That's what I 've said to them , since we have not started to go into contract negotiations.

    Anders Nilsson continues:

    - My hope and my goal is to play in the NHL , but I do not want to play in the AHL . So it will not be the NHL so it will be well anywhere in Europe.
    want to evolve

    Is Sweden and SHL an alternative?

    - Yes, the main goal is to continue to evolve. The hope is to stay in the NHL but now I do not know how it gets.

    Anders Nilsson compete with even old former Skellefteċ goalie Joacim Eriksson.

    Nilsson plays May 1 against the Czech Republic while Eriksson stands against Finland on Saturday at odds Hockey Games .

    - It's always good competition and we encourage each other in training and that makes you raise some extra steps , says Nilsson.
    " Giant Enhancement "

    Modo's Linus Ullmark is currently the stomach and not in place in Stockholm . He is thought of as the third goalkeeper in the World Cup.

    Unless Henrik Lundqvist comes loose from the New York Rangers and the NHL.

    - It is clear , though just in the current situation , it is not something I think about . There is nothing I can influence still so I try to focus on my own game and play so well in the matches to come here , says Anders Nilsson on Henrik Lundqvist .

    - If he comes , it becomes obvious a giant boost. He is one of the world's best goalkeepers.

    Good find man, thanks for this!

    This certainly puts a spotlight on the Isles goaltending situation doesn't it? Nabakov is expiring, Poulin has looked good at times but he's not anywhere near starting IMO
    With Nilsson defecting, the Isles are going to be seeking a starter in FA for sure...Miller, Hiller and Halak will be the big names tossed around but do you think the Isles might try to find a Ben Bishop on the market? Someone like Elliot or Greiss perhaps?

    James Reimer would be a decent fit there.

    He hadn't really done anything to earn a one-way deal but can't blame the guy for wanting more money when it is available elsewhere.

    This is the situation I've been thinking might happen for some time now. Seems like a good fit to me.

    This isn't done yet. To me this could also be posturing for contract negotiations. He wouldn't be the first player to threaten to play in Europe as leverage on this NHL contract. I still wouldn't be surprised to hear that he signed a two year deal where the second year is a one-way contract.

    There was a big piece in Swedish media about how Nilsson turned his life around in the last year. He found out he had celiac disease and I'm pretty sure he's also lactose intolerant. He was sleeping A LOT and still didn't have any energy. Since he altered his diet he's apparently felt like a completely new person. If he sticks in North America I think he can still turn his play up a few levels and progress a lot further.

    He's had a dominant WC tourney so far ... gotta believe someone will give him a shot.

    Any chance you have a link to an article about this? I would be interested to read about that.

    I did a google search of "anders nilsson celiac" and it wasn't exactly flowing with information. So wasn't sure if he had a specific article. Most of them just mention that he found out he had it.

    never seen a 6'6 guy get beat over the shoulders more often than this cat -maybe this can change with better G-coaching and more development.

    its too bad he wont accept a 2 way deal from the isles considering they stood by his side while he figured out his health woes in 12-13 (pretty much a write off season)

    good luck to him in euro
