Färjestad BK won the SHL championship just a week ago and with that under his belt, it appears that Rydahl is ready to test North American hockey. He had an excellent playoffs with six goals and 12 points in 19 games.

One statistic worth noting was his 53 penalty minutes in the regular season, the 11th most in the SHL. He followed that up with 23 penalty minutes in the playoffs.

Here is a scouting report from Eliteprospects.com’s David Enborn: “Rydahl is a physical power forward 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.”

There’s no stats to tell us whether he is any good on the faceoff dots, but some message boards indicated that he is not.

Rydahl is 6’3?, 201 pounds and is a left shot center. He was a former teammate of Nils Lundkvist as they both played for Luleå HF in 2017-18. He signed a one-year deal for $750k.
