Speculation: Atro Leppänen / Liiga - Could some team take a chance on him?

[jonlin]

Very late bloomer. Defenseman 3rd in points in Liiga and 1st on his team my a mile. He is 26yrs old and his team lies 10th in the table. He is moving to Switzerland probably soon and next year to SHL. Could be a very cheap tryout.
Fun fact - He will probably become the leading scorer in a season of a Liiga season history soon. That means Brian Rafalski and Pekka Rautakallio will fall behind him and this on a bad team.

His stats the last years:

2020-21	KeuPa HT	Mestis	29	4	11	15	4	5	Playoffs	3	1	2	3	0	3
2021-22	KeuPa HT	Mestis	29	7	16	23	14	13	Playoffs	7	2	3	5	2	-7

Pittsburgh needs cheap good players.

He needs to come to NA. Atro.. that just screams a nickname like "Atrocious". Sounds more like an MMA nickname though. Can he fight? How big is he? I feel like he could slide into 3rd pair as a fighter who can move the puck when needed.

What Im saying is that it would be quite an exciting Cinderella-story but the day this bloke plays in the NHL is the day I donate my left nut to a group of female researchers (with the condition that they research it while its attached to my body).

What I mean is that he is having an unbelievable season but theres most likely no way that any NHL GM gets a boner for him. Not due to his stats in any case.
