Since his retirement, he has been a tremendous ambassador for the Leafs, and for the sport. He has our love, our respect, and our very best hopes as he battles the biggest foe of his lifetime. He may not be the best Swede in hockey history – that title still goes to Red Wings icon Nicklas Lidstrom – but Salming deserves to be in the conversation, and he deserves to be recognized for paving the way for Lidstrom and all European players.
