Norway National Team player Emil Martinsen Lilleberg (22) is ready for the NHL Tampa Bay Lightning.
Florida FC confirms signing in its channels Monday evening. Lilberg signed a two-year contract.
The Lightning is one of the best clubs in the NHL. The Florida club reports that Lilberg has signed what is called a two-way agreement. It guarantees a high salary if he gets playing time in the NHL, but includes a lower payment if he is referred to play for the Syracuse Crunch club’s farm team in the AHL.
“I felt I did the World Cup quite well, and Tampa Bay understood that and decided to sign me to a two-way contract,” says Lilberg. The newspaper online.
The Sarpsborg boy was part of Norway’s World Cup squad in May and was on the ice for 25 minutes and 31 seconds as Norway sensationally beat Canada on penalties:
Lilberg was formerly game-suited for the Arizona Coyotes. However, he crashed there as a result of a medical detection of heart problems.
– It’s absolutely crazy after the slump I had with Arizona, and what happened there. I got some bad news there, regarding the heart. Lilberg says they decided they didn’t dare turn them around.
Now he is ready to play in the NHL.
Recently Lilberg played for the Swedish team Oskarshamn. I was impressed there. Three goals and a total of 12 goal points was the score for the linebacker.
The Sarpsborg boy has represented Norway in the last three World Championships.
