kook_10 1,705 Report post Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?i...ce=NHLHeadlines The NHL's rival league hopes to expand into Sweden next season. Russia's KHL, in its second year of operation, announced Thursday it has signed a letter of intent with AIK Stockholm that would see the second-division Swedish club join its league next season. Thats sounds like relatively big news, despite being a lower league team. Their rubles could still disrupt the Wings talent pipeline. Maybe someone from LGW's Swedish contingent can tell us how respectable the second division is. Edited November 19, 2009 by kook_10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WpgMikos 17 Report post Posted November 19, 2009 Surprised the title wasn't Russia invades Sweden. Shouldn't the KHL be solidifying some of its failing teams before expanding? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't Ryno another one of those "I wanted to play for the Wings, but now I just want to be in Sweden/Russia?" players? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
