Alfredsson could play, lockout or not
TheFourthPeriod.com

Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson sees time running out on the last year of his contract, but has told the Ottawa Sun he might not have played his last game.

Alfredsson, 39, is considering going overseas and signing with a team where there isn't too much public pressure. The captain is looking at France and Italy, somewhere where he can keep in shape and have the possibility of joining the Senators once again in 2013-14.

"If I feel I'm going to play next season, maybe I should play somewhere," Alfredsson told the Sun. "Not that I have to, but it's probably a good idea.

"I'd play some games, and just have a great experience. I'm not looking to go to a Swedish league or the Russian league, I don't think. The way I feel now, I don't think I would be motivated enough, if they cancelled the season, to really do a full push there."

After playing in a charity game held for victims of Hurricane Sandy in Atlantic City and spending time with Coyotes captain Shane Doan in Phoenix, Alfredsson might have found some great motivation to get back in the game in attempts to possibly return to the NHL next season.

"I don't know," Alfredsson said about committing to next year. "I'll take it as it goes, and go from there."

In 75 games with the Senators last season, Alfredsson posted 27 goals and 32 assists for 59 points.
