Toronto Maple Leafs Assign Calle Rosen To AHL

October 23, 2017 at 9:04 am CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment

The Toronto Maple Leafs, fresh off the signing of defenseman Roman Polak yesterday, have assigned Calle Rosen to the AHL. The Swedish defender had been rotating in and out of the NHL lineup, but will now have to wait for another chance with the big club.

Rosen, 23, was signed this offseason out of the Swedish Hockey League to provide some depth for the Maple Leafs, who had relied on players like Martin Marincin and Matt Hunwick last year. Along with Andreas Borgman and Connor Carrick, Rosen had spent time on the bottom pair to try and prove he was ready for the NHL. That decision was complicated yesterday when Polak signed, seemingly fully recovered from the broken leg he suffered in last year’s playoffs.

With Polak in tow, the Maple Leafs had to make a decision on their two young Swedes. Rosen and Borgman were the only two waiver-exempt defensemen on the team, and losing Carrick to waivers wasn’t an option. Polak, meanwhile, would likely take Carrick’s spot on the third pairing if he got into the lineup.

In four games, Rosen registered one assist but looked over-matched at times. While he possesses all the physical skills required to be a puck-moving defenseman in the NHL, his decision making wasn’t up to snuff and he found himself in tricky situations more than head coach Mike Babcock would like. Those mistakes might not continue, and Rosen could be back up with the team sooner than later. But for now, he’ll have to work on his consistency at the AHL level. It will be interesting to see if he gets any time with top prospect and countryman Timothy Liljegren, who has been logging important minutes for the Toronto Marlies.
