The Toronto Maple Leafs were fined $500,000 and stripped of a fourth-round draft pick by the NHL because of their handling of Swedish defenseman Jonas Frogren. Apparently the League wasn’t too stoked that Toronto went around the collective bargaining agreement to sign the defenseman who was already signed to a Swedish elite league club. And just because things weren’t bad enough, the player in question has been out since early March with an injury.In other news, the Leafs signed Christian Hanson son of Dave Hanson of Slap Shot fame, to a two year, entry level deal. Christian could make his debut with the team against the Flyers on Friday. He had finished up four years at Notre Dame and came in as an undrafted free agent.
