Kallio is staying in Sweden. Västra Frölunda.

Niclas Kronwall and Mattias Tjärnqvist has signed NHL contracts.

Kronwall with Deitroit and Tjänqvist with Dallas. Mattias older brother Daniel plays for Atlanta.

Per-Anton Lundström is also ready for Dallas.

Transactions from Sweden is now closed.

Peter Nordström turned Boston down during the last hour.

I think Kronwall will be succesfull. He won't be a star but a solid defencemen.

Anyone remembering me talking about Pierre Hedin? He will play in Toronto next season. Not a new Lidström but could be something...

Do you have a source on that? I know he went to Finland during the season (had him in my pool then :( ), and my sources all have him listed as going to Finland.

Calle said to the Swedish newspaper Göteborgsposten today that he won't play for a team thats not in the race for the cup.

He also said that the only club for him to play in if he comes back to Sweden it's Västra Frölunda.

Calle Johansson had a meeting with Frölundas coach Conny Evensson yesterday and all the experts places him in Västra Frölunda the coming season.

Have you seen Petrov play in the Swiss leauge?

Or are you just quoting someone?

Gretzky?

Petrov played well but to compare him with Gretzky... Na.

I remember when the Habs brought Oleg back in Montreal.. newspaper La Presse made a very long article about him. Basically, they said Petrov was a real hero in the Swiss league, and he was totally dominating. He was well known and recognized when walking on the streets.

It's sure nobody can be another Gretzky.. but the comparison meaned that he was the greatest player of the league. I suppose it's what they wanted to say.

But I saw Petrov play in Switzerland and sure he was one of the better players but realize that that the Swizz leauge was no better than... hmm... Can't think of any.

And he didn't dominate. He was the best player on the ice but so would Juha Lind also if he played in Switzerland.

MoDo is doing business. Again.

In a couple of years MoDo will have one of the best team team outside NHL.

Maybe as good as a NHL team.

Andreas "Salle" Salomonsson, Washington Capitals signed a 4 year deal with MoDo today.

MoDo, the club that bought Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Peter Forsberg, Markus Näslund, Mattias Weinhandl, Andreas Eriksson, Pierre Hedin, Hans Jonsson, Samuel Phålsson, Niklas Sundström, Per Svartvadet and Mattias Timander are building a team that could really be interesting.

The are counting on having Forsberg back in a few years. And when Forsbergs leaves the NHL more will follow.

Djurgårdens IF has signed Richard Lintner.

Lintner played for Slovakia in World Championship in Finland.

He also played for Sloviakian national team in the last Olympics.

ch_nl, although I trust you on this (you've proven me wrong already), can I get a link on the Lintner signing? Lintner re-signed with Pittsburgh on June 23rd, so I find kind of strange that he'd sign an NHL deal, and then bolt overseas.

is also heading over seas.

He said that he is a bit disapointed but accepted.

Johansson started last season played for Calgary Flames. But got traded to Pitsburgh.

So after a just one year in the NHL Johansson will be back with Färjestads BK.

Oleg Tverdovsky has joined the Avangard Omsk team in Russia. It is reported that it's a one-year deal, and that there is a clause that states that he cannot sign a deal with an NHL team or any other club.

Переговоры 27-летнего защитника Олега Твердовского с "Авангардом" продолжались около месяца. Главное, на чем настаивал омский клуб, - не может быть речи о так называемом страховочном контракте. Если хоккеист подписывает договор, он играет в чемпионате России в течение того срока, который указан в соглашении.

 

    - Контракт, который заключил Твердовский, отличается от того, который в июле подписал другой НХЛовец - Даниил Марков с "Ладой", - пояснил вчера агент хоккеиста Сергей Исаков в беседе с корреспондентом "СЭ" Александром ШАПИРО. - В соглашении Твердовского есть пункт, что в ближайшие два сезона он не имеет права заключать контракт ни с одним из клубов НХЛ или России. Нигде, кроме Омска, он в этот срок играть не будет.

 

    - Из российских клубов Твердовским интересовался только "Авангард"?

 

    - Было еще два предложения, но руководство "Авангарда" оказалось наиболее заинтересованным в его услугах.

 

    - Когда Твердовский летит в Омск?

 

    - В понедельник. 31 августа в составе своей новой команды проведет первый матч - на Мемориале Блинова.

 

    Олег ТВЕРДОВСКИЙ, защитник "Авангарда":

 

    - Я всерьез намеревался вернуться в Россию, и предложение "Авангарда" меня вполне устроило. Это один из ведущих клубов страны, в составе которого хотелось бы завоевать медали. Насколько мне известно, ключевую роль в том, что подписание контракта стало возможным, сыграл председатель совета директоров клуба Роман Абрамович.

English Translation:

The negotiations of the 27-year defender of Oleg Tverdovskiy with the "advance guard" continued approximately one month.The main thing, on what insisted Omsk cloud/club, cannot be speech about the so-called insurance contract.If hockey player signs agreement, he plays in the championship of Russia during that period, which is indicated in the agreement. - the contract, which concluded Tverdovskiy, differs from that, which during July signed another Of nKhLovets - Danil Markov with The "ladoy", explained yesterday the agent of hockey player Sergey Isakov in the conversation with the correspondent "Se" by Aleksandr SHAPIRO.- in the agreement Of tverdovskogo to eat a point/item, that into the nearest two seasons it has a right to conclude contract not with one of clubs NKHL or Russia.Nowhere, besides Omsk, it within this period play will be. - from the Russian clouds/clubs In tverdovskim was interested only "advance guard"? - there was two additional proposals, but the management/manual of "advance guard" proved to be most interested in its services. - when Tverdovskiy does fly to Omsk? - on Monday.On 31 August in the composition of its new command will conduct the first match - on blinov's memorial. Oleg IS TVERDOVSKIY, The defender Of "advance guard": - I in earnest intended to return to Russia, and the proposal of "advance guard" me completely arranged.this is one of the leading clouds/clubs of the country, in composition of which it would be desirable to earn medals.As far as to me it is known, key role in the fact that the signing of contract became possible, played the chairman of the council of the directors of cloud/club novel Abramovich.

Well that's pretty sad. He was one of the most talented offensive d-man in the NHL. Some would say he had too much pressure after being traded for Selanne and after receiving a 4M$ contract. Despite his problems in the defensive zone, he had to be considered as a threat by the opposite team. It's weird how a player's value can drop that fast.

Shjon Podein has signed with Växjö Lakers.

A team in the Swedish second division.

I just can't believe it...

Wow his career sure went downhill...

I could understand about signing with a FIRST DIVISON Swedish team , but a 2nd one? Whats the point? Why not just play in ECHL? Or Quebec Semi-Pro league. lol ...

Ouch

Is it common for former NHL'ers to sign in the 2nd division?
