Over the weekend, news broke that the KHL’s top defenseman Mikko Lehtonen would not be re-signing in the KHL. After that, he was linked to several teams, including the cross-town New Jersey Devils. However some sleuthing saw that Lehtonen was following the New York Rangers, one of his more recent follows, on Instagram.
Naturally speculation began to swirl once that was discovered. There could be a simple explanation, as he also follows Kaapo Kakko, and he’s a Ranger. Since we don’t know exactly when he followed the Rangers, we can’t really pinpoint anything else other than he follows the Rangers.
