Well, according to Hockey Beast, it seems that Salming was going to go regardless, as they shared that Salming's brother, Stig, announced that going to Toronto was seemingly Salming's final wish.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Salming's family and friends as they continue to mourn the loss of a legend.
