Forsberg and Näslund want to play on the same team.

I can understand this, Swedes are very particular. I think Forsberg and Näslund feel badly about the way they were treated in Sweden and they probably bonded while playing together for Modo. They both came under intense attack from the media for being rich, successful, and not loving every single thing about the motherland. Forsberg appeared here in Sweden in clothing ads with his girlfriend. The press bashed him for being greedy, even though he gave all the money he earned to the youth hockey club he learned to play in. The Swedes are famous for their jealousy and they have driven two great players back into the arms of the NHL.
