    The Swedish Ice Hockey Federation has blocked forward Carl Soderberg from joining the Boston Bruins, a source said Thursday.

    Soderberg had reached an agreement Tuesday with the Bruins on a multiyear contract, and had been released by his Swedish team, Linkoping, according to a source, but the deal still had to be approved by the Swedish Hockey Federation.

    It is unknown why the federation would block the move.

    "We need to see if the NHL disagrees or not ... there is a five-day period for review and analysis of the situation per the CBA," a source close to Soderberg said.

    According to the source, the NHL now has five days to consider the rejection and any arguments that come with it. The NHL can still disagree with them and say the release is proper per their rules and register the contract despite the Swedes' position.
