Is the Canucks' transitional regime about to spend $2M on a Swedish kid who can't make the Tre Kronor cut and disappeared in the playoffs of the country's third-best league? If the Oilers are going to keep their heads above water in the Kiprusoff-Luongo-Backstrom Division, this is the kind of thing we need to see more of from our rivals and less of from our own front office.

You have misread the Swedish reporter's quote slightly; Brunnstrom did play in the #3 league *last year*. This past season he played for Farjestads (Sheldon Souray's old team!), and it was in the Swedish Elite League playoffs where he disappeared.
That said, I basically share your sentiment; while he might be a decent enough player, looking to him to be an offensive saviour for a mediocre NHL team seems lunatic. (No way I wager even-money that he replaces Markus Naslund's output.)

So you say you're not a closeted Oiler fan, yet you immediately identify Färjestad as "Sheldon Souray's old team" instead of "the home club of Håkan Loob"?

I'm a Sheldon Souray fan. His contract in particular.

That Swede didn't disappear from the playoffs in some third-level league -- he disappeared in the playoffs of an elite league! He's a born Vancouver Canuck. ROFLMAO. Thank you Matt for my laugh of the day.
