| June 18, 2008 Markus Naslund wants to play in the NHL again next season, even if it isn't with the Canucks, the Vancouver Province reports. "It was not a hard decision to make with a little distance to everything. I feel very motivated to continue playing in NHL," he explains.

To play for another club in the same division would feel weird. But we will have to wait and see what happens." |
| April 7, 2008 Markus Naslund may or may not return to the Canucks next season, this according to the Vancouver Sun.

The truth is that Naslund will have to take a pay cut no matter where he ends up after seasons of 60 and 55 points, this after a stretch of 5-straight seasons with at lest 75 points. |
