Brad Treliving of the Toronto Maple Leafs seems to have developed a habit of acquiring injured defensemen from the Dallas Stars. He started this trend last year with John Klingberg, whose hip injury caused him to be laced on long-term injured reserve.
This year, the Toronto Maple Leafs picked up two more defensemen from the Dallas Stars. The first was Chris Tanev, followed soon after by injured Jani Hakanpaa who agreed to a 2-year contract worth $3 million in total.
However, history appears to be repeating itself here for Toronto. Almost three weeks after reaching a deal, PuckPedia has removed Hakanpaa from the Maple Leafs roster, as no registration has been made, likely due to not passing physical and medical clearances.
Though this does not guarantee Jani Hakanpaa will never pass clearance, this turn of events certainly does not look good for Toronto. If the player cannot pass soon, hopefully, the Maple Leafs can act quickly to fill in the role he would have served. If not, this could prove to be another failing season for the team.
