On May 12, 2018, Videll returned on a one-year contract to former club, Dinamo Riga.

As a free agent, Videll left China at the conclusion of his contract and continued in the KHL by signing another one-year deal with Traktor Chelyabinsk on May 2, 2017. In the 2017–18 season, Videll matched his previous season totals with 28 points in 46 games. He helped Traktor advance in the post-season, contributing with 6 points in 16 games.

Videll kept on his journeyman ways joining his fifth KHL club in as many seasons, signing as a free agent with inaugural Chinese entrant, HC Kunlun Red Star, on a one-year deal on September 28, 2016. In the 2016–17 season, Videll was placed amongst the scoring lines with Kunlun and contributed with 28 points in 48 games.

On June 9, 2015, Videll transferred as a free agent to fellow KHL club, Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod on a one-year contact. In the 2015–16 season with Torpedo, Videll was looked upon as a top offensive contributor, co-leading the team with 21 assists and collecting 30 point in 44 regular season games. He appeared in a post-season high of 10 games and adding 3 points.

In the following 2013–14 season, Videll produced his most productive KHL season with Severstal appearing in 52 games with 10 goals and 17 assists for 27 points. On 9 May 2014, Videll signed an improved contract as a free agent with HC Donbass. With the announcement of Donbass suspending operations for the 2014–15 season due to civil unrest, Videll later signed a one-year contract with Latvian KHL club, Dinamo Riga on 2 September 2014. Videll established himself amongst Riga's top scoring lines, producing 34 points in 58 games.

After an injury-plagued first season with Yugra, his second season did not fare better after producing 10 points in 31 games in 2012–13, Videll was released from his contract on 29 December 2012. On 4 January 2013, Videll opted to remain in the KHL and signed for the remainder of the campaign with Servestal Cherepovets.

But after that, he was sold to Yugra Khanty-Mansiysk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) on 24 October 2011 for financial reasons. The main reason for this was that the Swedish Police Authority decided, just one week earlier, that the police should earn money for their efforts during sports events held by joint-stock companies (JSC). This mainly affected the Stockholm clubs Djurgårdens IF as well as AIK. AIK received 3,5 million SEK for selling Videll to Khanty-Mansiysk. The selling of Videll to Khanty-Mansiysk was considered a major loss for AIK, although Videll had at that time been on Khanty-Mansiysk's radar for two years.

Videll was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche in the seventh round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, 204th overall, after playing in the Swedish J20 SuperElit with AIK, Brynäs IF and Södertälje SK. Although his youth team is Djurgårdens IF Hockey, he left the Djurgården organization as a 13-year-old and instead joined the AIK organization.

From 2003 to 2011, Videll played primarily with Södertälje SK in the Elitserien (SEL). In the 2010–11 season, Videll scored a career high 20 goals and 43 points, despite Södertälje being relegated to HockeyAllsvenskan after failing to re-qualify in the 2011 Kvalserien. To remain in the Elitserien for the following season, Videll signed a one-year contract to return to AIK for the 2011–12 season. He played 14 games with AIK, scoring 5 goals and 12 points and at that time placing sixth in the scoring league.
