No news for Thoresen

Patrick Thoresen remains unsigned.

"I haven't signed any contract", Thoresen confirms.

But he's confident that he will sign in the NHL next season.

"I'm 99% sure."

The name of the team is still up in the air. Thoresen hasn't heard anything from the Flyers.

"I'm waiting to hear back from Philadelphia. I really enjoyed playing for the Flyers, but I'm open to all teams."

"It's the NHL that I want. It's the best league in the world and I feel that I have unfinished business over there."

Playing in North America would also be a better choice for Thoresen's family than playing in Russia.

"I didn't see my family that much when I played in Russia, but they will be able to come with me to North America."
