Can't wait to see Fasth. Hopefully he's NHL ready next season.
Kreider-Lindberg-Fasth is the kind of line I have dreams about.

So when do you think Fasth'll be NA bound?
I don't think there's any restriction on players going from Europe to the AHL.Is there a reserve list for the AHL like there is for the NHL? Are Jesper and Lindberg on there?

Both their contracts are already counting against the 50 contract limits, so there's no effect there.So we can sign them to PTO for the Whale? Those wont count against 50 contracts.

He had a really nasty freak injury some time ago. There's a video of it posted probably on the last page.

People here need to stop crapping on this kid, who has done nothing but improve since he was drafted. You haven't seen him in a year and a half, in which time he has grown bigger, stronger, tougher, with better offense and defense. Edmonton fans are reporting very good things about him, not just in terms of offense, but defense and dirty areas as well. This honor just confirmed that he has had a very good year.
He had nearly 200 points the last 2 seasons and over 300 in his junior career.
Lets see how he does in Hartford next year, but lay off him for now. The kid is a good prospect.

Found this article with quotes from Fasth after the game, when you run it through Google translate, seems like if he is asked he will come over. Maybe Ola can help us out with the article. Translate also brings back him saying he needs to rest and rehab.

Does not say much
Meeting a real Swedish hockey insider this afternoon and will ask
We are eventually buying into a business together
Was interesting to see that Gordie Clarke was over and watched a playoff game personally with Fast in it recently
Means they must want him over ASAP
Oh, by the way - I moved back to Sweden today
Come on man, you move back to Sweden and Fasth and Lindberg are finishing up their runs in Sweden. Just joking around, hope the move went well.

Jesper Fasth heading to Rangers
The HV71 has season come to an end but Jesper Fasth may continue to play. Jesper Fasth now awaits a call from the New York Rangers.
The HV71 has season come to an end but Jesper Fasth may continue to play. Jesper Fasth now awaits a call from the New York Rangers.
- Of course I am excited, says Jesper Fasth.
But first and foremost he mourned HV71's loss after a total of 4-1 in the quarterfinal series against Linkoping.
- You feel empty, feel like you just want to lie down and scream. It's really tough. It will take a while to get over this, says Jesper Fasth disappointment, sighs deeply and continues:
- It could have been us leading this series 3-1 in games instead but unfortunately hockey is not always fair. I think we should have won a couple of the games played
"The dream is to play in the NHL '
Now it seems instead to become the NHL and the New York Rangers. Fasth has been throughout the season played on loan in Jönköping club and Rangers would certainly want him to join them.
- Of course I am excited, the dream's to play in the NHL. But first and foremost I need to take it easy for a while and rehab so we'll see what happens.
Jesper Fasth and Rangers scout Anders Hedberg had sms-contact during the playoffs and the quarterfinals four, Hedberg and Rangers manager Gordie Clark was in Cloetta Center to follow Jesper.
- They have been keeping up with me, otherwise, they have not disturbed me during the playoffs. So far I have not heard anything concrete.
If they want you to go over now?
- Yes, the dream has always been the NHL. But I have not had time to think about it yet, you feel only emptiness.
How does it feel to finish his career in HV in this way?
- Terribly heavy. I have had three fantastic years here but not got us any results. Going out three quarters in a row is terribly boring.
