The Maple Leafs president and general manager is in pursuit of a Swedish goaltender nicknamed The Monster and planned to meet with him and his agent on Sunday in Copenhagen.
The Monster is 24-year-old Jonas Gustavsson, who was the talk of the Swedish Elite League playoffs. The 6-foot-4 Gustavsson registered five shutouts in 13 playoff games to lead Farjestad to the championship with a .961 save percentage.
Aftonbladet, a Stockholm newspaper, reported that Gustavsson, who is a free agent, has narrowed his NHL choices to the Leafs and the Dallas Stars.
Who is this Monster, watch below…

Come on Stars. GET ON THE BALL!!!!! We really NEED this one. Don’t let another team get a good young goalie and leave us stuck with Turco. He didn’t get it done this year and he won’t get it done next year. We CANNOT go to the playoffs with Turco in goal. Forget last year because it’s over and done with. He was extremely inconsistent for most of that season too and just happened to pull it out at the end of the season. That won’t happen again. GO STARS, get “The Monster” for us.
