The Colorado Avalanche made a big trade on the day of the Free Agency Frenzy. The main pieces of the trade were our offensive defenseman, Tyson Barrie, for second-line center Nazem Kadri.
One of the extra tidbits in the trade was defenseman Calle Rosen.
The 25-year-old is from Växjö, Sweden, a town near the southern end of the country and near a lake. In fact, that’s where the town gets its name — Växjö means “road lake,” which is a reference to the road over the frozen Lake Växjö.
In fact, Rosen played for the Lakers as a young adult — the Växjö Lakers, that is.
