Leafs interested in 'The Monster's' teammate

It looks like the Leafs got enticed by not only Gustavsson's play in the net but by his teammate Rickard Wallin
who captains the team. Another prospect chased by Burkie with the likes of Bozak and Hanson. The problem is Wallin is already 28.

If things work out the way Brian Burke hopes, soon he can start referring to a team in Sweden as the Maple Leafs unofficial farm club.
Farjestad of the Swedish Elite League is the home of much recruited goaltender Jonas Gustavsson, a player the Leafs general manager is hotly chasing. But it doesn't end with the kid they call the Monster, as the Leafs also are in pursuit of the team's captain, centre Rickard Wallin.
