It looks like he's going to have a bigger role on the team so what are your expectations for him this season? I'm thinking he scores 25 goals with great defensive play and falls just short of 50 points
Any chance we see a Lehkonen-Galchenyuk-Drouin line this year?
Would be great as Lehkonen is good in defense.Any chance we see a Lehkonen-Galchenyuk-Drouin line this year?
This allows to have Danault in defense.That is a line I've been thinking of since the Drouin trade. Put these three together with the other top line being Patches Danault and Gallagher. Pleks Bryon with Shaw/Hemsky as the third line
RW is Drouin then Gallagher.I think he'll end up playing rw most of the year.
No doubt. He's gonna be awesome this year.I see Lehkonen having the potential to become a legit top 6 winger.
It has nothing to do with that. In fact, some of the more recent teams who won Cups in Pittsburgh and Chicago are actually shorter in average height and lighter in average weight compared to Habs. As are some other teams who have had a certain degree of success recently (I think Tampa and Columbus are smaller and lighter than Habs, as well). And Habs have a few smaller guys who play big like Gallagher, Lehkonen, and Byron.
Lehkonen is not really small. He is 5'10. He is tiny but it's because he is young. If he becomes a 25-50 players his size wont be an issue at all.
Lehkonen is actually listed as 6' on NHL.com and 5'11 on Eliteprospects

Just bought my Lehkonen jersey today ; i'm really excited to see this guy take off this year
