Milwaukee Admirals current netminder Magnus Chrona looks to be heading to the SHL in Sweden next season, after his one-year contract with the Nashville Predators organization runs out. With Matt Murray getting more games than Magnus at the AHL level, it only would make sense to assume that Murray would be the next man up if either Juuse Saros or Justus Annunen were to suffer an injury in Nashville. Nashville’s pipeline has plenty of options at the position, so Chrona looks to be moving on in hopes of more playing time. According to reports, he has signed a deal to join Bryans starting in the 2026-2027 season.
