Carl Grundström was drafted by the Leafs last June at 57th overall, and that might not be the best thing that happened to him that summer. He also left MODO, the former team of William Nylander that has fallen on very hard times and suffered relegation out of the SHL to the lower-level Allsvenskan league, and joined Frölunda, the SHL defending champion. Going from a very bad team to a very good team can change a young player’s life.
Frölunda is also the former team of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Marlies winger Andreas Johnsson.
