Jani Hakanpää on working his way back from a knee injury to join the Maple Leafs: “To me, it’s clear I am going to get back, and the team around me in Finland had the same thought”

Take us back through the process of joining the Leafs in the summer.

Hakanpää: It feels good. It feels great. It is one of the clubs with great history. I am really excited to be a part of it. That is all great.

I am looking forward to being a Leaf and getting out there and playing with the guys. I have spent a few days here with the guys, and it seems like a really good group. There are a lot of good guys in there. I am looking forward to everything.
