NLA/KHL - Recently, many players from the KHL are thinking about moving to Switzerland next season. Just as many of his fellow countrymen, also the Swedish forward Niclas Bergfors, 28, says that he might leave the KHL for Switzerland.

"I can think of Sweden or Switzerland," the 28-year-old forward says in an interview with the Swedish newspaper Expressen and adds: "There is no indication in any direction yet." With 21 goals for Admiral Vladivostok this season, Bergfors is Sweden's best goal-scorer in the Kontinental Hockey League. His contract with Vladivostok is running out.

The native of Södertälje has played in the Swedish league only for a short time, as he moved to the United States at an early age. After two years in the AHL, he made his NHL debut in season 2007-08 and has completed a total of 173 NHL-games for New Jersey, Atlanta, Florida, and Nashville since (35 goals, 48 assists). Three years ago, he moved to the KHL. (tme)
