If you read all the gossip and hearsay, they make it sound like about 15 teams have been or are interested in him. I read he gave his agent a list of who he'd be willing to play for and it was pretty short. Who knows though.

What makes me curious is how willing Peter is to stay in the US. Even with multiple suitors, will he be willing to commit to his team or go back to Sweden (or just flat out retire)?

It's a huge risk for anyone interested in him. Not just the injury problems, but his heart.
As an Avs fan, obviously we know all about the injuries, etc, but you have a great point there that I don't seem to be reading much about in all these rumors. When he left the Avs, all the talk was that Philly was it for 2 years, and he was done...back to MoDo.
