He's likely a cheaper poor man's version of Barrie, so I think he sticks on the big club due to his ELC and their cap constraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes. So Muzzin remains their only actual NHL defenseman. Love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 The odds of him cracking the roster is very, very high. Their defense was booty last year. And they are likely losing Barrie. One of their 3 legit top 4s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are likely losing Barrie. One of their 3 legit top 4s. Losing Barrie is addition by subtraction. They need more defensemen who can actually play defense other than Muzzin. Not sure if Lehtonen can play better in his own end then the trash Toronto currently employs, but I don't see how he could be much of a downgrade. Then again, we said the same thing for Larsen. If this addition turns into a legit NHLer, he'll be their 2nd best Dman behind Muzzin. Edited May 6, 2020 by King Heffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Reilly, Barrie, Muzzin and now probably Lehtonen in their top 4. This is nice but they need to make that Marner for Pietrangelo swap if they want to be taken seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If season resumes, Lehtonen won't be eligible for playoffs because his signed after the TDL. Pietrangelo is a UFA but they have no cap space.

Smashian Kassian Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 From the very little I've heard (Ryan Whitney talking about him briefly) he seems like he could stick. Good move for the Leafs, potentially NHL player for minimal cost. These are the types of players we'll have to continue to look at as we continue to grow & fill our cap space.

DeNiro Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) I’m sure he’s skilled and his point totals are impressive but look at the team he plays on. Not hard to get lots of minutes on that team. Sami Lepisto is the next best D man, and former Canucks prospect Nicklas Jensen is a point per game player there. Not buying the hype. For every one player like Zaitsev that comes over here and makes an impact right away, there’s a dozen Philip Larsens.

But even he couldn’t save the laughs, there are just one too many “me” players on that team that only play for their stats and nothing more.
