I wrote about Dawson Leedahl. Here I talk about not only his stats but also what he may mean to the NYR philosophy https://t.co/hZzmnsc82m

Leedahl, 21 years old, is just the latest signing for GM Jeff Gorton, who has taken an aggressive run at poaching undrafted free agents this spring.
He wraps up his WHL career with 190 points in 297 games.
I'm no expert on Leedahl or the WHL but he seems pretty comparable to Ryan Gropp, atleast this season. pic.twitter.com/5M3TTUWcHf
