The Toronto Maple Leafs signed defenseman, Brennnan Menell, this summer after acquiring his rights from the Minnesota Wild.

Menell is getting compared to former Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Mikko Lehtonen, who the club signed the prior offseason, but how similar are they?

Both Brennan Menell and Mikko Lehtonen were top scorers among KHL defensemen the year before they signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
