Max Véronneau shone in the SHL during the season.
He accounted for a total of 34 goals and 26 assists.
Now the Canadian is leaving Leksand.
The 26-year-old has signed for the San Jose Sharks in the NHL.
- Max had a cruel season in Europe and we look forward to getting him over here, says Shin Larsson, head of the European part of Sharks scouting.
The league's best players
Véronneau was voted the league's best player last season.
Leksand was knocked out in the round of 16 against Oskarshamn.
The SHL semi-finals start tomorrow, when Luleå is visited by Frölunda.
In the second semifinal, Rögle and Färjestad meet.
