Mario Kempe about to sign with Flyers

"Hopefully I can sign the contract next week", Kempe says.

It's just a matter of time.

"We're basically waiting for the Flyers. They're still playing and they've done pretty decent", Kempe says with a laugh.

"But I'm willing to go over and hopefully I can sign the contract next week."

Despite the Flyers being his first option, Kempe hasn't shut any doors in Sweden either.

"I keep talking with a few teams here. But not much has happened in that front lately since I've told everyone that my first option is to go to North America."

Right now Kempe is training both by himself and with his hometown minor league team in Kramfors.
