Kallgren secured a two-year, two-way contract with Toronto on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kallgren was selected by Arizona in the seventh round of the 2015 NHL Draft and initially signed a two-year, entry-level deal with the Coyotes before his contract was terminated in November of 2019, less than a year after signing. Since then, the 24-year-old netminder has been back playing overseas with Vaxjo HC (Sweden) for which he posted a 12-9 record and .911 save percentage in 21 games this year. Kallgren will provide Toronto with some added goaltending depth but figures to spend the bulk of the 2021-22 campaign with the Marlies in the AHL.

Kallgren was designated for unconditional waivers Tuesday, Sportsnets' Chris Johnston reports, which will terminate his contract.

EDGE Analysis

Kallgren has played in just five games this season, two with AHL Tucson and three in the ECHL for the Rapid City Rush. While his numbers have been decent, a .967 save percentage in the AHL and .924 in the ECHL, the 23-year-old netminder likely wasn't expecting to be dropped down to the ECHL after coming over from Sweden. Selected by the Coyotes in the seventh round of the 2015 NHL Draft, the netminder figures to rejoin a team in his homeland and likely has played his last game in North America.

Kallgren made eight saves on nine shots in Sunday's 6-2 preseason road loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old rookie relieved Adin Hill and ended up playing 17:55 in the final frame. Kallgren -- who was Arizona's seventh-round (No. 183 overall) draft pick in 2015 -- yielded a shorthanded goal to defenseman Brayden McNabb, but otherwise looked sharp in his first North American contest.
