Slovan Bratislava in talks with Czech C Vladimir Sobotka (who actually plays excellent hockey in Slavia Prague). Slovan wanted C Martin Hanzal but Hanzal followed his friends Milan Michalek, Vaclav Prospal and joined Mountfield Ceske Budejovice...
Bäckström said he's going to play for Brynäs if the lock out continues long, his contract allows that. Also said Dynamo gave him the number 99, he'll only play two games with it, then change it.
Slovan is serious. Sersen (regular member of SVK national team) will help the defense, he knows it at Slovan BA very well and is familiar with the club. Stepan info is even bigger, accoording to some rumours he could be with the team as soon as this week. Considering his NHL contract, the insurance payment would be very acceptable for Slovan. Good centerman like Stepan is actually the key piece missing in Slovan. They are solid already, but with this addition they would become very competitive. Just get it done!
