The Newest Maple Leaf #51
So the Monster takes #50 and his buddy Rickard Wallin is 51..check this tribute out:
It says here that the Barenaked Ladies could sing that catchy tune on opening night, no?
Sportsnet is the only outlet I have seen that is saying he has signed with the leafs. They say it’s a one year deal.
Would be great to know if this guy is any good / what type of player he is…Good faceoff guy? Good two way 3rd liner? Useful PK center? Is he soft or can he play with an edge?
I think I heard Burke say that Wallin’s game is similar Samuel Pahlsson however Wallin might have a bit more upside offensively
By the way, didn’t Burke say that he hates having players on his team who wear high numbers?…………..are we sure that they will allow Gustavsson to wear #50 ??
