Drafted
2024 round 7 #219 overall by Buffalo Sabres

For a goaltender with an average-sized frame, Leenders surprisingly takes up a lot of net. His stance is balanced and narrow when the puck is worked around the zone, which gives him excellent access to his edges and keeps him patient on odd-man rush attempts. He rarely makes the first move, and can make last-second adjustments with his edgework. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
