News on Mikko Lehtonen is starting to spread fast. As per Mikko’s Instagram he now follows the New York Rangers and Henrik Lundqvist. We mentioned his previous connections to Lias Andersson and Kaapo Kakko this morning, but these latest follows are definitely new. In today’s social media drive world, you can’t simply disregard this information.
The Case For Lehtonen
Earlier today I laid out the case for Lehtonen. The left side defender would stabilize the bottom pair and provide some offensive punch on the PP. Should the season restart as it appears it will, signing Lehtonen now and burning the ELC right away is fine.
