Eric Fehr was the fourth line centre. Roman Polak was but a distant memory. And newly-signed Swedish defenceman Calle Rosen watched from the press box, earning an NHL paycheck.
After four relatively underwhelming games with the Leafs, Rosen was then jettisoned to the AHL, where he’s since logged heavy minutes on a stacked Marlies blueline.
To date, he’s registered 15 points in 48 games.
Since his demotion, Rosen has flown largely under the radar with Leafs fans. Thanks to the spectacular play of Andreas Johnsson, coupled with the sizeable developmental strides taken by Timothy Liljegren and Jeremy Bracco, Rosen hasn’t garnered nearly the same level of discussion.
