Butt-shagged by the NHL - again.

Sweden has finally got an agreement with the NHL regarding the export of players from Swedish clubs. The clubs have long said the compensation for players has been insufficient - and rightly so.  Under the previous deal, clubs would get $200.000 for a player heading to the Dark Side.

Under this new deal, the Swedish clubs have now managed - following long and hard negotiations - to get an astonishing $225.000. Talk about pay-rise! And who said Swedish Hockey officials don't drive a hard bargain?
