Torgersson has become the second European forward in 16 days to have his contract terminated, following in the footsteps of Henri Nikkanen – Winnipeg’s fourth rounder in 2019.
Nikkanen signed a two-year contract in Liiga two weeks ago. Torgersson is expected to sign in the Swedish Elite League.
In 12 games with the Manitoba Moose this season, Torgersson was unable to put up any points. He scored 11 goals and 20 points in 69 games two years back – his most productive professional campaign.
Torgersson had 14 goals and 32 points in 137 career games with the Moose.
