In his last healthy campaign, the native of Sweden recorded 22 goals and 42 points in 79 games with the Blue Jackets in 2006-07.

Since breaking into the NHL in 1996-97 with Toronto, the 35-year-old has tallied 225 goals and 452 points in 858 NHL contests with the Maple Leafs, Lightning, Blue Jackets and Kings.

He was a Stanley Cup winner in 2004 with Tampa Bay.
