Where Does Mikko Lehtonen Fit Into the Toronto Maple Leafs Lineup?
With the Toronto Maple Leafs signing what appears to be Europe’s top defenseman, their pathway to success seems to be a bit more clearer.
It was evident that Mikko Lehtonen was on his way to the NHL, but nobody thought he’d land with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
On an entry-level contract worth $925,000, this signing makes the perfect experiment for Kyle Dubas to take on.
Since it’s a low-cost deal for the Toronto Maple Leafs, it could eventually be buried in the AHL, if things don’t work out for both sides. However, I highly doubt that will happen.
