[Kris Baker] Finland World Junior goaltending hopeful Topias Leinonen reportedly has an injury that will keep him off the ice until early October, forcing JYP to go out and sign veteran Eetu Laurikainen to fill the gap.

Ugghhh. Have a feeling this will always be an issue with him unfortunately. Just can’t be that big and that heavy and stay healthy playing goal. Really too bad, this is prime development time for him.
I wish the kid well, but he hasn’t progressed very well to this point since being drafted and missing months at a time sure isn’t helping him along. I’m not optimistic for him.
Literally haven’t heard much good since he was drafted, sucks
Watch him just become like a god tier goalie out of nowhere tho
Been a real bumpy road for the high 2nd round pick so far
