Predators General manager had this to say:
We are very happy to add a player like Jesper in to an already strong roster. We believe with Jespers size and style of play he will help us greatly striving to make a deep playoff run. Jesper is a big power forward with 6*3 and 194 pounds and we believe he will benefit playing on smaller rinks then what he is used to in Sweden. Not only does he have great experience playing hockey on the highest possible level but he is also a leader that will benefit us both on and off the ice and a future fan favorite
We expect big things from Jesper this coming season
