At the press conference this afternoon, the club from the Swedish Hockey League officially announced the signing of Danielsson. The 33-year-old right winger has agreed on a three-year deal, which will keep him with Brynäs IF at least through to the 2020-21 season.

The Swede will thus leave Switzerland after almost six straight years playing for SC Bern, the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers and most recently Lausanne HC. After a short KHL-stint with HC Lev Praha between 2012 and 2013 (34 games), he joined the SCRJ Lakers for one and a half season before he finally moved on to Lausanne in 2015.

Under contract with Lausanne HC, Danielsson has appeared in 145 Championship games ever since (115 points). This term thus far, he has managed to put up 24 goals and 23 assists in 46 games, which currently makes him the team's second-best scorer behind Jeffrey Dustin (51 points).
