Eurolanche

Landy could play anywhere except Sweden

Gabriel Landeskog has left Sweden after his two-month contract expired with the Djurgarden of the 2-tier league. Landeskog´s agent confirmed to Eurolanche the reason of his client´s come back to the USA: the Swedish taxes. Landeskog spent many days in Sweden this year including his participation at the World Championship in May. More days spend in Sweden, higher taxes he would have to pay.

Landeskog is back in Denver now, where he bought his first house before his departure to Europe. According to this hockey blog, Landeskog is going to practice with his former junior team of the OHL, Kitchener Rangers. It is uncertain if he will continue playing somewhere else in the world during the lockout. His agent told to Eurolanche that Gabriel has to stay out of Sweden due high taxes. He has not denied the option of playing somewhere else.

• Fans say goodbye by singing Landy´s name

The Colorado Avalanche captain said in the mentioned interview that he does not know how many days or weeks he will have to stay out of Sweden. He admits the comeback to Djurgarden is one of the options if there will be full season lockout, but it will depend on taxes. Landeskog will decide in January.

Finally, Gabriel admits in the interview that he has to learn to be more patient. As we know, he had a little fight after the game and after other game he smashed some item off the ice as the result of his frustration.
