Roughly translated: Henrik Zetterberg’s agent tells Hockeybladet that his client hasn’t decided whether to continue playing

Via Expressen and the Swedish news agency TT, Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg’s agent, Gunnar Svensson, spoke with Hockeybladet.nu regarding his client’s health. What follows is roughly translated:

AGENT: “Zetterberg has not decided”

Henrik Zetterberg has a contract until the 2020-21 season with the Detroit Red Wings. Detroit has not heard anything about the Swede’s future with the team, however. Zetterberg has simply not decided whether or not he will continue to play.

“He has not decided whether he will continue or not,” says Zetterberg’s agent, Gunnar Svensson, to Hockeybladet.

Henrik Zetterberg has played 15 seasons in the NHL, and for the last six, he’s been the captain of his team. There is uncertainty regarding Zetterberg’s future with the team. Detroit has not heard anything from him, but it believes that he will continue to play. Hockeybladet reached out to Zetterberg’s agent, Gunnar Svenson, who is careful when discussing the future of the Swede.

“I just don’t think he’s decided yet. There have been some injury problems for his back. It’s impossible to answer how he’ll get along, one can’t know as it is presently. He simply hasn’t decided.”
Closes door to the SHL
A couple of years ago, speculation began that Zetterberg was on his way back to the SHL. Zetterberg and his wife bought a house in Angelholm. A comeback in the SHL won’t happen if Zetterberg chooses to continue his career.
“If Henrik Zetterberg chooses to continue playing in Detroit, there’s nothing else going on,” says Svensson to Hockeybladet.

  1. That’s just roughly translated. I’ll translate it for you. “I’m his agent, he told me he is playing till he wins another cup. Pretty much for free after the contact he has not expires.” Seriously. I watched a lot of Muppets and learned from the Swedish Chef.
