Nucks Misconduct, a Vancouver Canucks community

Markus Naslund is returning to hockey to play with Peter Forsberg for Modo. Most interestingly, both of them are declining salaries and will play for free. Apparently the jump across the pond really is the sticking point. Pretty sure we could have found space for both of them, and even offered to pay them the NHL minimum. Edit: Naslund said today: "I will do anything to get in shape and hope I can add something on the ice, but as everybody understands it's not just to get on the ice and perform. I'm really looking forward to play with Modo again and the fact that Peter and I will do it together is of course something really special."

"There is definitely a chance that he might stay here and, in my opinion, it might be better for him," Naslund said in a phone interview on Friday. "He could play regularly — there are less games here and that would mean less wear and tear on him than in the NHL."
