Axel Sjöberg

Contract option declined on Nov. 30, 2020

PRONUNCIATION: whoy-bury (watch Sjӧberg pronounce it)

Sjoberg enjoyed a breakout year in 2016. However, since he's battled injuries, missing 12 games during the first half of the 2017 season and nine more in 2018. He'll rely on his positioning, organization, and ability on set pieces to get playing time this season.
