I’m guessing Markus Naslund didn’t enjoy the retired life since he’s reactivated himself and will be joining Modo, his first pro club. He seems to be done with the NHL after 15 years so I hope he enjoys himself over in Europe.

It would appear that Peter Forsberg’s announcement about playing for Modo was a motivator for Naslund who said: “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.”

Incredibly, 36-year-old Forsberg is hoping to perform well enough to earn a spot on Team Sweden’s Olympic team. Naslund was a little more realistic and didn’t even mention that.

After spending most of his NHL career with the Vancouver Canucks, he played briefly for the Pittsburgh Penguins and the New York Rangers.
