  • Frans Nielsen: Closes out career

    Nielsen will end his playing career following the conclusion of the 2022 IIHF World Championship. Nielsen spent the 2021-22 season playing in the DEL for the Berlin Eisbaren for which he registered 12 goals and 15 assists in 33 games. Over the course of his 15-year NHL career, the veteran logged 925 games for the Islanders and Red Wings but saw action in just 24 postseason contests.

  • Frans Nielsen: Headed for DEL

    Nielsen (undisclosed) agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Berlin Eisbaren on Sunday. Nielsen spent the past 15 years playing in the NHL for the Islanders and Red Wings. Over that time, the 37-year-old center appeared in 925 games in which he registered 167 goals, 306 assists and 689 blocks while averaging 16:28 of ice time. Despite his long career, the 2002 third-round pick was limited to just 24 postseason appearances, all with New York. While Nielsen's NHL career is likely over at this point, he'll no doubt be hoping his performance with the Eisbaren will earn him a spot on the Danish national team for the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympics.

  • Frans Nielsen: Bought out by Detroit

    Nielsen (undisclosed) was waived unconditionally by the Red Wings on Thursday for the purpose of buying out the final year of his six-year, $31.5 million contract, MLive.com reports. Father Time has clearly caught up with the 37-year-old Nielsen, who was often a healthy scratch in 2020-21 and finished the campaign having appeared in just 29 contests, picking up six points while averaging 12:08 of ice time over that span. It seems unlikely that Nielsen will garner much interest from other NHL clubs, so he may need to head overseas if he wishes to continue his playing career.
