Brett Lebda is not very well known despite having played 326 games in the NHL. This is partly due to the limited ice time he got in Detroit. He is small for a defenseman, only 5'9" and 195 lbs and is not the least bit physical. But he moves the puck well so he appears to be a cheap and inferior replacement for Tomas Kaberle. His best season was only good for 18 points. However, playing behind Lindstrom and Rafalski has cut into a lot of prime ice time so it is believed that Lebeda has some untapped offensive potential. Yet the Leaf defense is fairly deep so how much more time he can get in Toronto is debatable.
