Where will he earn the most fame and money?

You know I have always liked Mats but his indecision of late is making me annoyed. I don't like guys sitting out and then jumping in when it's convenient and raking in a ton of cash. It's called "committment ", make it. Stay, go, whatever but don't sit out most of the season and ponder. Geez, and guys complain that girls can't make up their minds. Put your cards on the table (no pun) and announce your intention, don't wait around to see what suits you---it's kind of selfish and it's not in keeping with the team nature of this great sport.

He's not back in Sweden yet? I figured he'd have been heading east on the first thing smoking.

I think that a lot of older players take their time to decide. And why can't they? I'm sure deciding to retire from any job is difficult. Why do we give them flack for doing what any normal person would do? That being said, I do think that last year Mats should have decided before the season started. He had 4 months so I guess maybe he did like playing poker a little better....

He'll never do as well in poker as he did/ does in hockey. Either way we did an interview with him here about this very topic. (link in the source)
