Reports: Panthers' Alexander Salak to Sweden

PrintMultiple media reports out of Sweden are stating Panthers / Amerks goaltender Alexander Salak has signed to play with Farjestad, suiting up as early as next week. He has one year remaining on an initial two-year deal signed with Florida a year ago. The Panthers have not yet commented officially.
Widely believed to be a placeholder next season for future franchise goaltender Jacob Markstrom, this allows Salak an opportunity for growth away from a depth chart which includes a number of hungry young bodies scraping for ice time within the organization. Given this development, expect to see a Tyler Plante-Markstrom duo in Rochester to start the year.
More to come as this plays out...
UPDATE: Here's the official word from the top. It took four days to bang out a paragraph?

Мы в любовь играли,
И как кровь из вены капает слеза.
One more year!
Most likely it’s a loan of sorts, but still looking for info.

Brutally backed up in net:
Vokoun/Clemmer with Florida
Plante/Markstrom with Rochester
Cheverie/whomever Nashville sends to Cincinnati (which may or may not be the best situation for our guy)
Ideally I’d like to see Cheverie get a couple of games in ROC, but Plante is the “veteran” option as a mentor of sorts for Markstrom.

And as for Salak being “better” than Plante, he may well be, if you’re speaking of raw talent. Emphasis on “raw”.
