Rip The Mesh Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I agree, mostly with what is being said here but if Lekkerimaki say was ready, looked ready and proved it in preseason games, where teams actually played, in some cases, hard against each other, and he passes all those tests, Wouldn't that justify a crack (a fair one), in the NHL? Reminds me of a young Pettersson. / Lekkimaki would do himself well by tuning out to camp with an edge + an attitude to want it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post R3aL Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 I personally do not think JL is NHL Ready. I think he needs to adjust to NA Pro timing, and get stronger especially in order to able to survive board battles. If they put him in too early it could hurt his confidence / development imo. I think if he has a strong camp he gets a couple games to start then goes to abby until hes undeniably ready for the jump. UNLESS he has an unreal summer comes in Pro Body ready and he blows the doors off at camp. Which would be unreal. But I wonder what his camp and the Canucks expect for him. It may impact what forwards they target for petey 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJCF96 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I think it is more beneficial for him to atleast start the season in Abottsford. Play a full season of North American hockey in the AHL, develop good habits and learn the system from the lower tier, and if there are injuries, we can call him up mid-season to give him a shot. I could see him potentially be NHL ready by TDL next year, and he will be our improvement from within player by the start of the playoffs. However, I won't be surprised if he needs a full AHL season before he is ready to take the next step. We haven't been patient with our prospects in the Benning regime, and we must not make the same mistakes with our prospects now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat land fish Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 The skill is there just needs to get his body NHL ready, how fast that happens is up to JL but we won't rush him given we are aiming to compete for playoffs/cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lekkerimaki will be on the big club next year. He will be on a line with Petey and Guentzel. And he will score 30 and win the Calder. He will be in the second car in our Cup parade. F all the haters! Not true fans. Go back to the clubs you cheer for. Crawl under their bridges. Losers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Pettersson was on another level but all I’m saying is don’t count him out either. If he comes in to training camp and is a point a game or higher and looks like he can hang it’s not a very good look to your young players that it doesn’t matter if you’re better you’re not making it anyway. If he earns a spot which he could he’s talented enough then give him a spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's ready he will get a look but he likely needs serious gains to make the team as the team is near the top of its life cycle and rookies need to be complete players to make the team.

The classic Canuck development track is to rush young players into the line up. How many players have been ruined as a result. Virtanen was one and McCann could have been if he wasn't traded. Podz? Lekker has to have a fall back base to play at if the scoring doesn't come. He looks good so my hope is that management will nurse him along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will play on the big club on a line with Petey and Geuntzel. He will win the Calder. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey was on the absolute best team in SHL and Lekkerimäkis just barely went to playoffs. Petey had the best support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
