Veteran defenceman Toby Enstrom is heading home.
The longtime member of the Winnipeg Jets organization, an unrestricted free agent, has signed to play with Modo, a second-tier Swedish squad, according to media reports.
Enstrom's five-year $28.75-million contract (AAV of $5.75 million) with Winnipeg expired on July 1.
Enstrom, who turns 34 in November, played five seasons with Modo (2002-07) before beginning his 11-year NHL career with the Atlanta Thrashers. The team plays out of Ornskoldvik, just 65 kilometres north of Nordingra, Enstrom’s birthplace.
