I was very impressed by this guy at the YOG. He might be the next great goalie out of Finland.
Yeah Leinonen is promising young goalie and he was MVP and top goalie 2019 pohjola camp.
But those nominees are personal achievements and won't guarantee nothing to NHL.
Yes those nominees look good in Leinonen's resume when he comes draft eligible in NHL.
But for now Kari Lehtonen and Tuukka Rask are only Finnish goalies
who were 1st round draft picks and developed to NHL goalies.
So if Leinonen goes 1st round or even 2nd round in 2022 draft
he needs still to continue his development after his draft.
And because goalies needs more time than forwards and dmans to develop
it can take easily 2 to 4 yrs before Leinonen is NHL goalie after 2022 NHL draft
So anything can happen.
