Transfer window

In Sweden as in other European countries they have what they call "transfer windows." During the period when the window opens, players can be traded, and when the window closes one has to wait until it is re-opened. The transfer window in the Elitserien closed yesterday and we lost some good players. Marian Hossa left Mora, he will be missed. He was very fun to watch, obviously a great talent. Another player who meant a lot to his team, Olli Jokinen, is leaving. Sodertalje will have a hard time replacing him. We also lost Marian Gaborik, though he seemed not to make much impact on the league.

We also gained some players. Daniel "Affe" Alfredsson who has more than a point a game already. Markus Näslund and Adrian Aucoin also joined the league.

The playoffs are about a month away.
