KHL contracts run out on April 30 at midnight, so now there are a host of official free agents in Europe. One is coming to the NHL, and his old team leaked the news.
#Jokerit and Mikko Lehtonen have mutually agreed to terminate the player’s contract.
We all thank Mikko for a great year in Helsinki and wish him all the best in the NHL! #KHL pic.twitter.com/hNbnBHAWcm— Jokerit Helsinki (@Jokerit_EN) May 1, 2020Mikko Lehtonen likely already has an NHL contract (I’ll save you some clicks and tell you he’s a lefty defender who went on a points bender this season), and we’ll likely hear about that today.
