I like, Jarmo collecting Finns

EDIT: Finns who will, you know, actually play for their team

Interesting

well, also got rid of one here

 

[SomeDude]

Was that the same guy that some had penciled in for 30 points before the year or am I thinking of someone else?

 

[David Suzuki]

I remember when Lehtonen was gonna be a top pairing defenseman so this goalie must be something special.

This was a Zero Finn Sum Trade

 

[DRW204]

weird i thought lehtonen was supposed to be kind of good?

I guess but at least Lehtonen is gonna be a regular i would think.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Wasn’t this the Fin dman Leaf fans were hyping to start the season?

Was great in Liiga..decent 1st year in AHL.... this year has not been good.

Leafs have too many capable dmen (didn't think that's a sentence i would ever say)

I think Lehtonen will be good, but he just wasn't getting chances in Toronto. Could be a big win for Columbus

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Looks like leafs got their new starter.... cya freddie

 

[grewalwings]

And it begins

 

[Advanced stats]

As a leafs fan, Lehtonen is definitely not bad..I think he has good potential actually.

...who's the goalie?

 

[Mitch nylander]

Lehtonen has talent, he's gonna flourish on that d-core. He struggles in his own end, but he is a wicked puck mover and is good offensively.

Can Columbus fans inform me on Vehvilainen?

 

[Pyrophorus]

I liked Mikko, wished he could've stayed.
Don't know ANYTHING about CBJ's #3

Hes been running the Taxi Squad scrimmages the whole year, don't even think he's seen AHL at all.. he just came over at the start of the year.

Wasn't getting a shot with Toronto, could be a good trade for the jackets.

This tendy any good?

this is lehtonen, not kivihalme

30 points? Don't be ridiculous. It was more 50+ and a Norris vote IIRC.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

What is the point for either team?

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Lehtonen is a legit NHL level player but for some reason didn't get to show it in TOR despite looking great, hope all the best for him
Veini won't get a chance in the NHL with TOR during his time so naturally I will think this trade heavily favors CBJ

 

[Fatass]

Who for what? Does this solve the Leaf’s goalie situation? Is Freddy still the starter?

 

[Dr Quincy]

this is lehtonen, not kivihalme
