"I have offers from three, four teams in Europe," Magnus Nygren says to nwt.se. "Right now I'm not sure if I should choose Färjestad or play somewhere else in Europe, it's about fifty-fifty," the 24-year-old defenseman continues. "I'll decide within two weeks." Also the Kloten Flyers are courting the young Swede.

In addition, also former Lakers-forward Mikael Johansson is in talks with Färjestad. According to the same source, he met with team manager Leif Carlsson on Monday but was not yet willing to discuss contract modalities. "He would really like to stay in Switzerland," Carlsson says. "And that money we wouldn't be able to match." (tme)
