[Yashamaga]

Swedish media reported today that Peter Forsberg has decided to play in the Swedish league for Modo next season, even if there isn't a lockout. Also Tommy Salo is going to play for them next season.

source?

[MoRcHeEbA]

well they have to play somewhere when they can't play in north america... Forsberg has also said numerous times he's going to play his last season in sweden

[Yashamaga]

yeah they're going if there isn't a lockout too.

[YOUR Hero]

Peter wants to play for daddy.

Althought this has been rumoured/reported many times in regards to Forsberg over the years.

[Yashamaga]

and Naslund wants to play with Foppa.

think he will?

[YOUR Hero]

Naslund and Bertuzzi are talking about playing together somewhere over in Sweden if there's a lockout.

[KleptoKlown]

would naslund and bertuzzi be able to play? they both have contracts through the 2004-2005 season with the Canucks.

[MoRcHeEbA]

I heard naslund and bertuzzi were gonna go with the sedins and play for there home team. which is the same as Forsberg if I remember right.

<font color=seablue><i>If there is a lockout, I can see that happening...

But Forsburg isn't done with the NHL yet and Salo is under contract but I wouldn't cry if he left the Oilers - he's been playing off and on lately and it's pissing me off :rant:</i></font>

[YOUR Hero]

contracts are void during lockouts.

[Yashamaga]

contracts are void during lockouts.

:y:

Makes sense

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

wow thats pretty crazy

I thought NHL was like top of the line as far as hockey goes? I thought it'd be like a baseball player leaving the MLB to go and play over in Japan

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Or like a soccer player leaving Europe to come play in the MLS

[road doggy dogg]

Well for the most part, that's how it is. There are some very good leagues over in Sweden and I think Switzerland or Germany or something. Don't quote me on this, but I think players can make more money in the NHL, which is why it's the "preferred" league.

Plus all the North American (mainly Canadians, not to sound arrogant) players play in the NHL, so there's a pretty high level of competition there.

I can see it happening
