Free agent Mathias Brome chooses his NHL team
Teams have reportedly been interested in Swedish free agent Mathias Brome for quite some time. The 25-year-old left winger, who finished sixth in scoring in the Swedish Hockey League last season with 43 points in 52 game, had been linked to both the Vancouver Canucks and Detroit Red Wings as the finalists for landing him. He's now made his choice.
“Brome is a late-bloomer that only found himself a few short years ago in Sweden's professional ranks, at which point his speed, puck skills and peskiness made him a top-flight scorer for Orebro HK,” says JD Burke, editor-in-chief of EliteProspects. “He's defensively responsible, and he might even have utility on an NHL penalty kill. His scoring profile, while impressive relative to the SHL, isn't what one might expect from a high-end piece, particularly when one adjusts for age, but the parts of his game that make him successful in Sweden are highly transferrable to the NHL.”
Brome made the jump to the SHL in 2017, first with Mora IK before signing on with Orebro HK at the beginning of this season. He's gotten steadily better these last three seasons, increasing his overall point total each year.
Here's a great example of his skill on the breakaway.
