When the Toronto Maple Leafs signed unrestricted free-agent Niklas Hagman to a four-year, $12-million (U.S.) contract earlier this month, it went undetected that the Finn has a no-movement clause in the first year of his pact.
Although, it's only for the 2008-09 season, it's a bit surprising since the way the Leafs were hamstrung by similar contracts of Bryan McCabe, Pavel Kubina, Tomas Karberle, Mats Sundin and Darcy Tucker last season.
Hagman, 28, scored a career high 27 goals and 41 points in 82 games for the Dallas Stars last season.
