Prospect Info: Karl Henriksson, C, 2nd round, 58th overall, 2019

[Jersey Fan 12]

Trying to figure this out. Didn't play in the AHL playoffs for Hartford.and according to the Hockey News he signed a three-year contract in Sweden yet received a qualifying offer.

Is that just a paperwork thing?

I believe this allows us to retain his rights if he does want to return to the NHL, so yeah, mainly just a paperwork thing. He'll probably finish his career out in Europe

he was injured for AHL playoffs
Karl being QO'd, despite signing back in Europe, is same as Panjuniemi currently,
and, back in '15 Carl Klingberg

team retains the QO'd RFA's NHL rights until they turn 27

Ironically, if he didn't sign that contract, he probably wouldn't have been qualified. I don't think the Rangers necessarily wanted him back in Hartford, but since he's going to play overseas, there's no harm in giving him the QO and retaining his rights.

My write up on him for my top 31:

Where are you Ola? Been a long time since I've seen you post? Hope you and the family are well.

It makes a ton of sense on our end.
