Jani Hakanpaa's new social media picture sparks speculation about his NHL future
Jani Hakanpää and the Toronto Maple Leafs reportedly agreed on a deal, but recent events have raised questions about its status.
On July 1, the Leafs allegedly signed Hakanpää to a two-year contract, exciting fans due to his playing style. However, a few days later, Steve Simmons reported that Hakanpää might be dealing with a serious knee injury, potentially ending his career .
No official statement has been made by the organization, leaving fans wondering if Hakanpää will play for the Leafs this season or if the team will gain unexpected cap space.
Adding to the confusion, a photo surfaced of Hakanpää at a Finnish charity golf tournament in Oulu, Finland, wearing a Dallas Stars jersey, puzzling fans since he isn't part of that team anymore.
Nick Barden of the Hockey News noted the event details, but no insider has clarified the situation, leaving the NHL community to speculate. David Alter of the Hockey News has reached out to Hakanpää's representatives for clarification but has received no response, making the situation even more unclear.
