Justin Falk (2010)

In the 2007 NHL Entry Draft , Falk was selected by the Minnesota Wild . For their farm team Houston Eros , he played mainly in the American Hockey League (AHL) from 2008 to 2011 . For the Minnesota Wild himself, he made his debut in the National Hockey League in the 2009/10 season . In the 2011/12 season , the Canadian was the first regular player in the NHL team of the Minnesota Wild.

In June 2013, he was transferred to the New York Rangers in exchange for Benn Ferriero and a six- round suffrage in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft . After just one season, however, he returned to the Wild in Minnesota, but only stayed until March 2015, when he was transferred to the Columbus Blue Jackets with a five-round vote in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft . In return, the Wild received Jordan Leopold . With the Lake Erie Monsters , the Monsters farm team, Falk won the Calder Cup at the end of the 2015/16 season . Nevertheless, he did not get a contract in Columbus beyond the season, so he joined the Buffalo Sabers as a free agent in July 2016 . He was active there until the end of the 2017/18 season when his expiring contract was not extended. He then spent almost a month on probation with the Colorado Eagles from the AHL before the Ottawa Senators gave him a one-year contract in late November 2018. This was not extended in the summer of 2019, so he has been looking for a new employer ever since.
