With the Leafs still unsure about defenseman Jani Haknapaa and his lingering knee issues, could Leafs GM Brad Treliving turn to a former defenseman to fill in the gap?

One of the players still available in free agency is former Flames defenseman Oliver Kylington, who while isn't the rough and tumble defenseman the Leafs aspired to load up on this offseason, he is offensively gifted and could slot well in the Leafs 2nd PP unit or slide into a pairing with Oliver Ekman-Larsson and create an offensive third line defense and try to abuse the 4th lines of the other teams and pound shots on net.
Kylington, 27, was drafted by the Flames 60th overall and had a slow season last year, only scoring 3 goals and 5 assists in 33 games but had a very successful 2021-22 season where he played in 73 games and had 9 goals and 22 assists while adding 3 points in the playoffs as well.
If the Leafs are worried still about Hakanpaa and decide to walk away; they can at least find solace in knowing that their GM might have an ace up their sleeve.
