Lagesson (6-foot-3, 198 pounds) spent the last two seasons playing NCAA hockey for UMass-Amherst. This season he scored 2 goals and added 6 assists. The left-shooting Lagesson has been described as nasty and physical with good poise in his own end.
It looks like there will be lots of new defenceman in Bakersfiled this coming fall. Earlier this week, the Condors signed Ziyat Paigin to an ATO–he’ll get his first taste of AHL action tonight–and it’s expected that Caleb Jones, Ethan Bear, and Ryan Mantha will also be joining them.
