Red Wings goaltender John Lethemon has decided to return to Finland to play in Liiga instead of staying with the Wings organization.
Lethemon did not see a game in the NHL and spent the majority of his time in the ECHL with the Walleye were he had a remarkable season. The 27 year-old had an 18-3-1 record with a 1.99 GAA.
He went 18-1-3 with a 1.99 GAA and .930 save percentage. That performance was earning him ECHL goaltender of the year recognition.- Duff
Despite it being an unfortunate departure, there was a very small change Lehtemon ended up in the NHL as the Wings have some great prospects with Bednar and Cossa.
