“I am very expectant of joining the team and starting the work.

I am prepared to take the position that suits me best to help the team win a new Swedish Championship gold ", says the 28-year-old forward, who signed a contract for the rest of the season, in a statement.

Rieder played 44 NHL games for Buffalo last season and 7 points (5 + 2).

In total, he has made 478 appearances and 145 points (64 + 81) in the North American ice hockey league.

"'Toby' is a player who will fit perfectly into how we play.

He works hard at the same time as he has a very good level of the skilled part of the game ", says Växjö's sports manager Henrik Evertsson.
