The Vancouver Sun indicates Mason Raymond is just the fourth Canuck regular to sign in Europe after inking his recent deal with Orebro HK of the Swedish first division. Goalie Cory Schneider is playing for Ambri-Piotta in the Swiss League, Jannik Hansen is skating with Tappara Tampere in the Finnish Elite League and Dale Weise is playing for Tilburg in the Netherlands. Top Canuck prospect Nicklas Jensen is playing for AIK in the Swedish Elite League.
Agent J.P. Barry said he expects the Sedins, who are also his clients, to head to Sweden quickly if the NHL cancels its season in mid-January.
"Yeah, I think if the season was cancelled they'd definitely want to play for a while so I think they'd probably leave as soon as that happened," Barry said.
If they do go, the Sedins will play for their hometown team, MoDo, where former Canuck captain Markus Naslund is the general manager.
Raymond also spoke to Daniel and Henrik Sedin, who joked about being able to converse with him in Swedish when he gets back.
"I just said I am going over to your homeland and they said. 'enjoy it, it's going to be fun.' They were also joking about me learning a bit of Swedish."
