This is certainly another storyline to watch. Will Lehkonen sign before the season begins? Before training camp?
If he wants eight years, it’ll definitely have to be before camp.
The Alumni Game at Magness Arena is coming up in two weeks. Who will be there this year?
The event was a lot of fun last year, and I highly encourage anyone who is considering attending.
