One of the additions Dubas made to the Toronto Maple leafs roster was defenseman Teemu Kivihalme.
Kivihalme was drafted at 140th overall in the 5th round in the 2013 draft. Seeing as he was drafted by the Nashville Predators, a team known for its defensive development, it isn’t hard to see why Kivihalme got lost in the weeds in their system.
He has a solid scouting report; 6’0, 180lbs, average-sized two-way defenseman with good puck-moving skills and very good skating ability. A very smart player who makes the right decision most of the time and can be relied on both ends of the ice.
