Perhaps Eddie always wanted to explore Sweden’s Dalarna region? From TSN :
The 42-year-old netminder Eddie Belfour signed on with Swedish club Leksands IF on Monday.
Belfour went 27-17-10 with a 2.77 goals-against average for the Florida Panthers last season.
Belfour is also a five-time All-Star, with 484 career wins, a 2.50 GAA and 76 shutouts in 963 games with Florida, Chicago (1988-96), San Jose (1996-97), Dallas (1997-2002) and Toronto (2002-06).
Hopefully, one of our Swedish readers can fill us in on what sort of bouncer hassles Belfour is likely to face in his new place of residence.
Belfour is probably playing in Sweden because of the excellent conversion rate between the dollar and the krona, which will allow his offers of “a billion dollars” to pesky law enforcement to carry a bit more legitimacy.
