When Swedish club Färjestad signed Cal Foote, it was former Maple Leaf Richard Wallin doing the deal: 

[Uppgifter: Färjestads miljonsmäll - efter brutna kontraktetFärjestads tvingades backa från värvningen av Cal Foote efter kritikstormen. Nu ser värvningen ut att kosta miljoner för klubben, rapporterar Sportbladet.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/icon/favicon-07be291d-069f-448d-9e03-d1b24692e9d1.ico)HockeysverigeAndreas Larsson![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/thumbnail/d22a9388cca0-split-screen-31-24-76850807-4b9d-4284-a713-b74d2a93e5e9.jpg)](https://hockeysverige.se/shl/uppgifter-farjestads-miljonsmall-efter-brutna-kontraktet-aer1w4j3r31Q/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Now that they've cancelled his contract under pressure from fans and local politicians, the club could be required to pay his full salary of $3.5 million SEK or about $500,000 Canadian. They're also paying out the contract of a coach they hired and then fired after a few weeks, so bad business and personnel decisions are not new. Leafs prospect Måns Gudmundsson plays for this team. Uh oh. 

This needs to be a Leafs only version, something like Phil vs JvR or Sundin vs well, huh, Matthews, I guess. Maybe we can do a Top 27 since 1967 (it scans better than 1967).

That's the best I can come up with to get you to avoid work today. Have a great day!
