Grossmann talks to Swedish newspapers:
http://www.expressen.se/sport/hockey...-sverige-igen/
From what I could gather from google translate:
He never went to Stockton, still in Calgary.
Both Flames and he decided it was best to terminate contract
Family moving back to Sweden this week.
Hopes to find a Swedish hockey team to play for where he can get a good role.
Has no desire to play in Russia or anywhere else in Europe.
A little disappointed he only got 3 NHL games after earning a contract in training camp and earning the accolades of the coaches and management.
But it is a business. He thought he would have the role as the #7 d-man but he won't any longer
Did not think it would be very "stimulating" to play in the AHL and Flames also realize it would take away a spot from a youngster.
Doesn't think he got the chance to show what he could do. Did think he did show in the preseason but it is also about politics, salary cap, age, etc.
Doesn't have anything concrete with any SHL club, but had numerous discussions in recent days
