Can he play this year?
With the Marlies, yes. Not with the Leafs unless it's on an emergency basis I believe. Very unlikely he would play even if he could.

Sosh was signed at 21 and played in the NHL before the AHL (edit: nvm was looking at the wrong site for this).
Aaltonen is now 23 (24 next month), producing better than Sosh was in the KHL. I don't think he's going to the Marlies. I mean it makes sense to develop him down there but i'm sure he would prefer KHL to riding the bus in the A...

Aaltonen is legit. First KHL season on pretty average team, and he was one of the reason Vityaz made it to the playoffs first time in its history.
And Aaltonen was very good for Finnish NT at Euro Tours. Probably even the best.

It's possible. It depends if he's going to the World Championships?
Yes.
Miro Aaltonen is one potential candidate to play in Finland's world championships team and that Finland's head coach Lauri Marjamaki is his ex coach from Oulun Karpat won't hurt his chances to make in the team.
Why would he sign to play for the Marlies?
I think he's going to get a real good shot to play for the Leafs

Another forward.
Leaves me to believe Lou will be dealing some of our forward prospects this summer.
He played most of the season with Karpat as a center, so it's possible the Leafs see him as a center more than a winger.
It was very likely with or without this signing though.
Why do you think he chose to sign in Toronto? I would like to think he had other suitors.
I'm not sure but i think Ari Vuori is the guy who wanted Aaltonen to Maple-Leafs.
This guy is very skilled, they're hoping he can be an impact player, not another Soshnikov.
why another winger, we have enough in the system.
That's unfair to Sosh given how he's used. He's got more to give if played further up.
Nice signing here though with Aaltonen.
That's true, but Sosh doesn't have the ability to be a top end forward, he plays a much more grinding style.
