The Toronto Maple Leafs and general manager Kyle Dubas were back in business on Tuesday as the second round opened. After turning some heads and selecting Rodion Amirov #15 overall the next Leafs' pick was at #44. The Leafs moved pick 44 to the Senators for picks 59th and 64th.At #59 the Leafs took Roni Hirvonen from Finland. From EliteProspects:Hirvonen is dutiful in the defensive zone, maintaining an elevated work rate and putting on a clinic in body-leverage going into puck retrievals. He does a fantastic job of anticipating plays, closing passing & shooting lanes, and making defensive switches on the cycle. He moves the puck with pace and regularly finds teammates with high-danger passes.
