Noice! I guess he is fine nr.5-6 if aav is under million.
Lehtonen should be fine in a 5-6 role with 10-14min/g + PP. He actually didnt get a chance to play PP last year on TML or CBJ. That is actually the thing he is best suited for. Probably in the +/- 1M range
There is nothing keeping him from being a fulltime NHLer except opportunity.
The bolded may no longer be true now that Tortorella has moved on.Not bad to bring him into the mix but he's going to have a fight to make the team.
Werenski
Gavrikov
Bean
Kukan
ALL locks
Harrington
Carlsson
Lehtonen
ALL require waivers (though I can see Carlsson being wavied)
Boqvist
Peake
Should make the team but waivers exempt.
I'd put Harrington above him on the depth chart which means he has to beat out both Boqvist and Peake (unless they carry 8 D)
