So if Lehtonen takes one of our LHD spots
and Reilly and Muzz take the other 2 spots
that leaves Dermott and Sandin on the right side, 7th D or minors.

LHD too rich if Lehtonen is a player.

I think he's played full seasons as RHD from what I've read. Not to say he can do that in the NHL. Just what I have read.

Mikko Lehtonen scores his 4th goal of the season with Jokerit. He now has 7 points in 6 games

Yes, he's played RD.. but he's a LHD... he wouldn't play RHD.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

After 2 periods vs Lokomotiv Jaroslavl

0+1 | 2 sog | +1 | about 16 minutes of ice time (pk & pp)

Lehtonen vs Korshkov. Battle Royale!

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Could have 2 more assists, created 2 scoring chances in the 2nd, but his team mates couldn't score
(1 cross the ice pass to a forward, but Jensen couldn't score that time)

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Again, led his team in sog & ice time
about 24 minutes of ice time, 1 assist, +1, 3 sog.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Half of game left : 1+1 | +2 | 2 pim | 4 sog | about 10 mins of ice time
vs Spartak Moskva

Not a bad first half.

[Artorius Horus T]

After 2 - Jokerit leads 4-0

1+1 | +2 | 2 pim | 5 sog | about 14 minutes of ice time

If you guessed; Lehtonen leads his team so far in sog & ice time (+ points & +/-)
you guessed correctly

I think Toronto has found a legit player in Lehtonen. Excellent third pairing and second powerplay potential, IMO, especially if he's insulated by a Radko Gudas type that plays a simple game.

Some on here probably don't want to hear it, but should he stay on the left side, I wouldn't be shocked if he plays over Sandin this year. That said, if he's legitimately NHL level comfortable on the right side (which I doubt), it would be nice to get him and Sandin both in the lineup... Both scenarios assume that Dermott is traded in order to help acquire a top 4 RHD, or a cost effective forward to replace Johnsson / Kerfoot of they're involved in a trade for a top 4 RHD.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

About half of 3rd period left : 1+2 | +3 | 2 pim | 6 sog | about 18 minutes of ice time

????. Either 1st or 2nd pair d-man for Toronto, trust me, he is that good.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Gets another +
now +4

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Aaaand now PP goal for Lehtonen....

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

another goal

 

[Artorius Horus T]

2+2 | +4 | 2 pim | 7 sog

 

[LeafParade]

I feel the league should suspend Lehtonen. It is just not fair for the other team.

 

[kk87]

Sooo could this guy be an actual stud for us...?

 

[Tak7]

He would be such a big boost for the Leafs paper thin blueline next season, if he can step in and make a good transition.
