Playing career
Ejdsell played as a youth with Vikings HC in the lower Swedish divisions before joining the junior ranks of Färjestad BK. Undrafted, Ejdsell made his Swedish Hockey League debut playing with Färjestad BK during the 2014–15 SHL season.
After three seasons within Färjestad BK, and in need of an increased role, Ejdsell left the SHL in signing a one-year contract in the Allsvenskan with BIK Karlskoga on April 29, 2016. In the 2016–17 season, Ejdsell broke out offensively leading the club with 57 points in just 50 games to be amongst the league leaders.
On May 5, 2017, NBC Sports reported that Ejdsell signed an entry-level contract with the Nashville Predators of the NHL, after being pursued by several other NHL franchises such as the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks. Before official confirmation, Ejdsell made clear his intentions to continue his development in Sweden by agreeing to a two-year contract with newly crowned champions, HV71 of the SHL on May 10, 2017. Ejdsell was later revealed by the Predators to have signed a two-year, entry-level deal on May 15, 2017.
