Peter Forsberg has undergone another round of
foot surgery , this time by Dr. Leif Swärdh in Göteborg, Sweden.
According to today's report in Aftonbladet by Mats Wennerholm, the surgery is apparently related to the lingering foot problems Forsberg had last season.
Forsberg himself declined to comment about the procedure yesterday, but had said at a press conference the day before that his timetable for making a decision about next season-- if, when, and where he'll play -- hasn't changed.

I got confirmation from Frölunda's junior program coach Jens Gustavsson that Danish forward Mikkel Bödker, a likely first-round pick in next year's NHL Entry Draft, intends to play junior hockey in Canada next season rather than return to the club.
Bödker was selected fifth overall in the CHL Import Draft by the Kitchener Rangers.
