swedish canuck on the Canucks.com forums translated it as best he could:
Markus Näslunds plan to move bach home from Canada are getting more serious.
He's about to bye a very big piece of land in Bonäset (outside of Örnsköldsvik) to build a house.
-It'll be fun to be a real "Ö-viksbo" again, sais Markus.
Markus Näslund, 30 and the capten of Vancouver Canucks is on his 11th season as NHL player. He said earlier that him and his family (wife Lotta and three kids) will move back home when his oldest doughter (Rebecca) is about to start school. Rebecca will turn six next year.
-Within the next two years it's school-time. The plan is to move back at the latest, year 2005. But it can happen next year, it depends on the "lockout" in the NHL next season, sais Markus dad, Sture.
Markus owns a house in Gullvik (also outside of Ö-vik) where the family stays over the summer. But they don't want to live there all year long when they move back.
Bonäset has the most important things, the only thing missing is a gas station, sais Sture Näslund.
And there's very little traffic, so the kids will be safe. That is the most important issue for Markus and Lotta.
Two years ago was the first time Markus got the interest to bye a piece of land in Bonäset, but then the plan was to bye several pieces of land to make it a big one, on Sjömärkesvägen (a street) but that plan didn't work.
Markus kept looking for something else in the neighbourhood when he found this big piece of land.
It's big enough for 30 normal sized houses.
Markus is negotiating right now and within a few weeks it should be finished.
What he will pay for the land is still to be said..
The newspaper got some information that the amount would be round 1 000 000 swedish kr. wich is good 100 000 dollars.
By the end of the year, Markus should be the proud owner.
The work around the lad should start early next year sais Sture Näslund who takes care of some of the bussines wile Markus is in Canada playing hockey.
They don't want to say how big the house will be, but Markus has spoken to a arcitect and seen a few drawings.. At least three bedrooms, livingroom and kitchen is a given.
Markus wants to be there when the house is close to finished, wich means next year or the year after that.
The article is dated today..bad news.. I hope this doesn't reflect how the Bertuzzi negotiations are going
Ol' Dirty Chinaman* 10-23-2003, 03:25 PM Jesus -- 100k USD sounds damn cheap for "30 houses" -- what is that 10 - 12 acres ?
Thalia 10-23-2003, 03:29 PM Maybe Markus is spending a little too much time thinking about his retirement home in Sweden instead of thinking about getting the top line going here in Canada. :rant:
Edler Statesman* 10-23-2003, 03:35 PM I guess this means Naslund is retracting his statement about staying with the Canucks if we keep a competitive team :dunno:
If there is no lockout next season 2004-2005, then I think Markus will play his final season in Vancouver in 2004-2005. Same goes for Peter Forsberg. I really hope that somehow Peter Forsberg can come to the Vancouver Canucks in 2004-2005 season and play on a line with Naslund, and then after that, they can retire together and return to O-vik. :)
evman150* 10-23-2003, 04:07 PM Jesus -- 100k USD sounds damn cheap for "30 houses" -- what is that 10 - 12 acres ?
That's exactly what I was thinking.
That is dirt cheap.
Freudian 10-23-2003, 06:13 PM Peter Forsberg has a house in Örnsköldsvik and has had it for a few years now. These guys spend the summer there so him building a house doesn't mean anything really.
Him saying he wants to move home though is another matter. I don't think he is the kind of guy that says stuff like that to get an edge in negotiations. He seems like a very honest person.

My unprofessional opinion tells me that Naslund might very well be the passive aggressive type: quietly complaining about Bertuzzi getting more money... by not performing on the ice. :rant:

I think Naslund's too classy for that...

But he looks so good in a suit! :dunno:
:p
Yammer 10-24-2003, 06:52 AM I'm inclined to take this article at face value. I think that Naslund would love to win a Stanley Cup ring, but could also live contentedly without it. Being a hometown hero means a great deal to him, I think.
Well...I don't suppose we could trade him now...

You can't be serious. The Canucks have never had a more honest player. This is a man of the highest integrity so I think you are way, way off base.
Reign Nateo 10-24-2003, 08:26 AM Right now, he's playing like he wants to go back to Sweden.
If the Sedin's emerge, we may survive without him as all signs point towards early retirement (sounds nice).
Thalia 10-24-2003, 08:44 AM You can't be serious. The Canucks have never had a more honest player. This is a man of the highest integrity so I think you are way, way off base.
No, I'm not really serious but all this talk about Naslund going back to Sweden and retiring is starting to bug me, especially when the top line is struggling.
Personally, I think Naslund should never have mentioned the R word to the media in the first place. I for one don't give a rat's @ss about his 30 or 300 acre property in in O-Vik or whatever it's called.
He's here in Vancouver now and gets paid a lotta (yes that's a pun on his wife's name) loonies to play in the here and now. When he hangs up his blades here in Canada and retires in Sweden... he can send me a postcard of his multi-million dollar retirement estate.
And what's all this talk about Naslund shrugging his shoulders and saying things like " I might stay here longer if the 'Nucks are a competitive team" stuff. I really don't like the sounds of that; comes across as quite conditional to me and somewhat whiny too but that's just my opinion.
I'm one of Naslund's biggest fans but I want him to concentrate on the job he's been assigned to here... in this country and on this team. There I finally got that off my chest; I've been stewing about that for a while.
Edit: This post wasn't meant to insult the thread starter. I appreciate the info posted but like I said, I've been stewing ever since Naslund talked to the media about retiring. :p
Thalia 10-24-2003, 08:51 AM But he looks so good in a suit! :dunno:
:pHe looks even better when he's scoring goals in a jersey. :p
Canadian Chris 10-24-2003, 09:21 AM This is true, but why can't he be going through a slump? The fans expect SO much of him, and he goes through a slump, and people, such as Thalia(:p) begin to get on his case for being open about his feelings about retirement and such.
I have no problems with him mentioning that, or him not putting points up. We're winning games right now, he's playing solid, if not better defense than he was last year.
Seriously....Thalia...you remind me of someone, but I just can't put my finger on it.
NFITO 10-24-2003, 09:50 AM Seriously....Thalia...you remind me of someone, but I just can't put my finger on it.
yea... that crossed my mind too...
where's jewelly these days? :dunno:

He has never said that he would stay longer if the Canucks were competitive, and he has never said he will retire after his current contract. All he said was that he wasn't going to stick around and play "well past his prime".
Thalia 10-24-2003, 01:04 PM He has never said that he would stay longer if the Canucks were competitive, and he has never said he will retire after his current contract. All he said was that he wasn't going to stick around and play "well past his prime".
I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that he will stick around as long as the Canucks are competitive. It certainly could be a misquote by the media though, that wouldn't surprise me a bit.
What was the purpose of him mentioning his retirement anyway, it serves no useful purpose whatsoever as far as I can tell except to distract the players and worry the fans unnecessarily.
If and when he knows for sure that he'll be hanging up the skates here in Canada and it's his final year then he can announce it to the world. Until then... shaddup and play the game.
As far as me complaining about his performance so far... well I really haven't. I know it's just a matter of time and he'll be back on the track. No big deal.
Personally, I'd rather that all the hockey players keep their personal lives out of the game. I for one have absolutely no interest in hearing what they plan to do with the rest of their lives with all their millions, whether it be building golf courses or going back home to Sweden to build their mansions. When they're finished their job here, then I'll be more than happy to listen to what their future plans are. But that's just me.

Well said. It's enough for me to know what the do on the ice. Private life should stay that way.

Agreed 100%.

Jewelly was a man...
He'll do his best for the Canucks while he's playing but it seems being a good husband and father is a major priority.
Naslund must be nuts. He should aggressively negotiate the biggest NHL salary possible from any team willing to pay, move around the league until his marriage falls apart and he never sees his kids, have numerous girlfriends, drug and alcohol addiction to dull the pain of an empty and loveless life, and spend his money on wild partying, gambling, hookers, high-priced lawyers and visits to addiction clinics. Obviously he just doesn't understand the meaning of success.

Oh man, that guy is such a loser. :joker:
Thalia 10-24-2003, 02:52 PM Jewelly was a man...Really? Well no wonder he got banned... posing as a woman on a messageboard is just totally tacky. :rolleyes:

Which is why I hate him and all like him who live in the bright light of day to the deepest darkest depths of my small, black heart.

NFITO 10-24-2003, 03:28 PM okay seriously... there's no way that jewelly is a man... and if (s)he is, then (s)he's got some serious serious problems! ;)
methinks it's a name change, and the real jewelly is not revealing herself... don't see her getting banned.

Jewelly was a complicated fellow, to say he had serious problems was an understatement. Good poster though!

okay... next you're going to tell me that Trefty was a woman? ;)
Peter Griffin 10-24-2003, 03:37 PM okay... next you're going to tell me that Trefty was a woman? ;)
No, I'm the poster formerly known as Trefty. Let me just check....*unzips*....no, I'm still a man, and one helluva one at that! :D

do you think it's a coincedence that these type of article surface now when nazzy is slumping rather than when he was a candidate of the Hart?

Yes. It was printed in Sweden.

No it isn't.
