The NHL has come to a new agreement with the Swedish Federation, which will allow players in Sweden to wait until the age of 22 to sign an entry-level contract with the team that drafts them, according to a post on the Swedish Ice Hockey Association's official website.

Previously, NHL teams were required to sign Swedish draft picks within two years of their draft class year.
