    Default Anyone speak Finnish? Selanne news.

    Not claiming any truth to this (or credibility), but a blog implied that this article says Teemu's playing next year.

    Anybody good with translator? Or know Finnish?

    http://www.iltasanomat.fi/nhl/art-12...0.html?ref=rss

    This is what Google translator does for me:

    "Veikkaaja magazine information, Teemu Selanne will play hockey again next season.
    July 42 meeting Selanne has not yet been officially told the Jewish future in his career, no ice, but Veikkaaja according to the information related party already knows the answer.

    It is yes.

    Veikkaaja that in practice, only a major injury, or some other setback would not change the ridge plans. He has been on the ice in Anaheim, and work-out will continue over the summer in Finland.

    This week, Selanne is Vuokatti landscape, where he held a summer junior camp.

    Last season was a catastrophically bad from Anaheim, but Selanne was in tune: a full season of 82 games played for Finnish power was 26 +40 = 66"

    Forget about implying that he'll play, it full out says he will in the headline.

    If this is accurate it's big news, but also not all that surprising. Never thought he was ready to leave.

    It says that according to Finnish sports magazine Veikkaaja's information Selanne has decided to continue his career for one more year and only an injury or other setback could change his plans.

    What I got out of that article is that Selanne is Jewish - I did not know that.

    It says he "has not yet been officially told the Jewish future...". Must mean he doesn't know how much money he is making next year, no?

    Either way, I'm stoked on this news as I'll need all the help I can get on my quest for a threepeat in my dynasty league!

    Dont know about you guys, but with his consistency and abilitity to put up PPP's, there's no doubt i'll be using a keeper spot on Teemu for the 3rd straight year.

    Nothing official, just speculative.

    Helene Elliott ‏@helenenothelen

    Ducks say Finnish media reports of Selanne's return are speculative. They hope for definitive word by July 1


    He probably will return though.
