Swedish forward Linus Sandin intends to sign with the Philadelphia Flyers when the NHL and IIHF finalize new international transfer agreements, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Johnston adds that "it sounds like the IIHF transfer agreements will be/have been extended for a year," but there is no official entry-level contract yet in place.
Sandin, 23, enjoyed a career year for the Swedish Hockey League's HV71 this season. He ranked third in the league in goals (19) and second on his club in points (36) through 51 games.
The 6-foot center is the older brother of Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Rasmus Sandin.
