According to a report from the Djurgården official website, Canadiens goaltender Jose Theodore is set to join their Swedish Elite league team. Theodore had been staying in shape by playing in the McDonald’s Caravane, but has been out of work since the charity tour came to an end.
Theodore will join fellow locked-out NHL’ers Dan Boyle, Mariusz Czerkawski, Daniel Tjarnqvist, Nils Ekman, and Marcus Nilson on Djurgården. He’ll also be the 5th Canadiens player to sign on in Europe following Michael Ryder, Marcel Hossa, Sheldon Souray, and Francis Bouillon.
