What a start to the week! The beautiful Swede comes to his new home. Will he play 9 games for the Leafs then head to the Marlies? Will he go start to the A? Will he finally make the Mississauga Steelheads dreams come true and report to the OHL?

Probably not that last one.

It's also game day! The Leafs are in Los Angeles to take on the Kings in game 1 of the California trip.
