There had been rumours for some time that Moose winger Samuel Fagemo would be heading back home to Sweden to play in the SHL following the conclusion of the 2025-26 season.

That was confirmed this morning when Frölunda HC announced they had signed the leading goal scorer for Manitoba to a three-year deal.
From their release (using Google Translate):
“I have had a good dialogue with Frölunda, am excited about a new challenge and the timing feels right”
The Jets signed Fagemo as a free agent after the Swedish forward spent five seasons in the Kings organization, which drafted him in the second round in 2019.
Entering this season, no player had scored more AHL goals over the previous five years than the winger from Göteborg.
Although he still led Manitoba with 19 goals while adding 16 assists for 35 points in 72 games, Fagemo’s offensive production dipped from the pace he established in previous AHL seasons and his dangerous shot seemed underutilized, especially on the power play.
The move back to Frölunda gives the 26-year-old an opportunity to return home and re-establish himself with one of Sweden’s premier clubs and one where he won a championship back in 2018-19.
