Swedish defenseman John Nyberg, acquired by the Penguins in a midseason trade, signed a two-year contract with Brynas IF of the Swedish Hockey League, Brynas announced on Wednesday.
Nyberg was set to be a restricted free agent for the Penguins this offseason.
Brynas manager Michael Sundlov said in a team release that Nyberg showed interest in returning to Sweden during the 2019-20 season.
"We have been trying to get him here since December when we first heard that he might want to come home to Sweden again," Sundlov said.
