BOULDER, Colorado -- Patrik Nilsson, the top scorer of the Swedish bandy league the past two seasons, has signed with Russian club Raketa Kazan, the Swedish site Bandysverige.se reported Monday.
The details of the contract agreement have not been released, but negotiations to send Nilsson to the Russian club were first reported back in late May.
The 26-year-old forward has spent the last eight seasons with Sandvikens AIK. In 2007-08 he became the first player in the history of Swedish bandy to notch 100 goals in a season, scoring 114 (94 in the regular season, 20 in the playoffs).
Nilsson had begun negotiations about a possible move to Kazan a year ago, but Raketa's financial troubles put that deal on hold. He will become the fifth Swede on Raketa, joining Anders Ostling, Ulf Einarsson, Johan Andersson and Andreas Bergwall.
