Toronto Maple Leafs: The New Leo Komarov is Carl Grundstrom

Grundstrom had a good season in Sweden and most recently in the AHL. Watching him play reminds me of another member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Leo Komarov.

The red-headed Swede plays a very competitive game, just like Komarov. Grundstrom is relentless on the forecheck, strong on his skates, constantly in the thick of things and gets in traffic. He’s not the most skilled player, but he has decent hands and can produce by out-working opposing players.

Grundstrom isn’t a pest like Komarov is. Like Komarov however, his battles for loose pucks in the corners and near the net annoy the other team.
