Flyers acquire Leino from Detroit

After losing the Ilya Kovalchuk sweepstakes, the Flyers have acquired forward Ville Leino from Detroit according to hockey mag The Fourth Period.

The Flyers surrendered chronically injured Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and a fifth round draft pick in 2011. This also means the Flyers are at least marginally impressed with defenseman Lukas Krajicek who they picked up off waivers from Tampa Bay.

Leino has four goals and three assists in 42 games with the Red Wings. the un-drafted Finnish winger is in his second year in the NHL but has been a healthy scratch for the last six games.

Leino, 26, has a cap hit of $800,000. Coach Peter Laviolette seems to like his line combinations though, so it is unclear where Leino will fit in.
