Henrik Lundqvist and his brother Joel Lundqvist have won two Swedish Championship golds with Frölunda, 2003 and 2005.

Even though it may be far-fetched and the chances have been small, the Frölunda supporters have still hoped to see the brothers reunited with the reigning Swedish champions.

"Kill speculation tones"

But that will not be the case, according to Henrik's brother, Joel Lundqvist.

- No.

That door is closed.

I can say that.

It will not be.

There is a lot that comes into play in such a decision.

But I get that question constantly and just to kill speculation and other things, says Frölunda's team captain to HockeyNews.

It has been speculated that Henrik Lundqvist - who has one year left on his contract with the New York Rangers - will be bought out of his contract, but that Lundqvist's priority is to stay in the NHL.
