Rickard Wallin

Over the past two days the Toronto Maple Leafs have undergone some very minor tinkering. No blockbusters to report yet, but interesting moves nonetheless for us hardcore Leafers.

Yesterday it was reported that Rickard Wallin has decided to sign a contract with Farjestad of the Swedish Elite League.

Wallin will return to his home country to play next season, unless he exercises a clause in the contract that he can still return to the NHL if he receives an acceptable offer by June 15th.

While watching the Toronto Maple Leafs game against Boston, my roommate, David West , and I started talking about Rickard Wallin, the player who does not have a role on the Toronto Maple Leafs...at least not anymore.

Rickard Wallin has put up 6 points, only one of them being a goal, in 44 games, which is not enough. Admittedly, Wallin is now a defensive forward, but last season in the Swedish Elite League, he did put up 55 points and 18 goals, which he apparently left in Farjestad.
