Darren Helm agrees to 4 year, $8.5 deal in Detroit.

A bit much perhaps? Anyways good signing, nice to have him in the fold for a few years!

Edit; Damn, one minute too late ..

I was a little disappointed that Kronwall declined, and even though it was a long shot I'd have liked to see Nyquist get asked. He's definitely better than a few of the non-NHLers on the Swedish roster.

Actually, kronwall changed his mind;

So that makes it four wings for team sweden (five if you count järnkrok aswell). That should mean gold to the swedes right? I mean, they have the highest wing-quota .

Markstrom is still playing in the NHL this year and actually started a game earlier this week while McCollum is hardly playing in the ECHL.

On the florida panthers.

Any of our Swedish brethren here that can help? I'm really interested to hear the exact translation now, because "is getting up there in years" can easily be twisted into "washed up" and "I pushed Jimmy real hard in Grand Rapids and beat him out for the job" can easily get twisted into "washed the floor with him"

A lot can be lost in translation, so I just wonder how bad it really was...

Swede here! Actually it really says "i washed the floor with him" and Larssons comment on Osgood is also quite disrespectful; "he is more or less done/washed up". I would say that Larsson really seems like a cocky guy who is full of himself in that article. Although its Aftonbladet, so you should probably take it with a grain of salt. Lots of sensational journalistics with that newspaper (although it looks like direct qoutes from larsson).

Im personally not sold on Larsson at all, i think a guy like Salak for example outplayed him this year in SEL.

"What if Gretzky didn't lose the puck?"
