About Andreas Dackell

Andreas Lars Dackell (born 29 December 1972) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey player. He played for several seasons with Brynäs IF in the Swedish league Elitserien (SEL) and was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in the sixth round of the 1996 NHL Entry Draft. After acquiring Bill Muckalt from the New York Islanders the Senators traded Dackell due to his more expensive contract. Dackell saw less success in Montreal than he had in Ottawa. In the 2011–12 season, Dackell went through a knee surgery in October 2011 and only played 16 games in the regular season. After 6 playoff games, Dackell announced his retirement, citing his knee injury.
