Any idea on who Leevi mate is?
Apparently a young finnish D-man just not seen any names.

5th worst +/- on his team last season and 6th worst the season before.

It is Liiga though, which is a very high standard.

For some context, in 19/20 Nevalainen finished bottom of his team's +/- in Liiga and he turned out to be one of the best defencemen we've had in recent years.

Hopefully we get Nev MK2.

For some extra context on that +/- stat from last year, his team averaged less than 2 goals scored every game (108 in 60 games). Gonna be hard to have a good+/- as a defensive D man when your forwards can't score
