Otto Leskinen signed with the Montreal Canadiens as a free agent, leading to many fans wondering what he can bring the organization.
The 22-year-old defender has spent most of his career with KalPa in Liiga and the team’s under-20 program. The Canadiens acquired a puck-moving defenceman in Leskinen.
He can be used in the transition when his smooth skating helps the team to transport the puck up the ice. He was used more for the cycle game in the offensive zone, where he puts his skating to good use and joins in to push towards the net.
