F Jonathan Lekkerimaki - Orebro, SHL (2022, 15th, VAN)

[M2Beezy]

Another day, another snipe.

Any assists from the guy or is he just another tunnel vision puck hog?

 

[Wattsburgh]

They lost Michkov?

No results found (says the Find your Friends app).

 

[Breakers]

Drysdale has 2pts in 18gp since being traded to Philly and is yet again plagued by an injury (week-to-week currently)
You'd better hope Lekkerimakki would yeild a better return lol

He's had a rough go, he's being outscored 4-14 at 5v5, so higher than a 3-1 to margin.
getting slaughtered with dangerous scoring chances against

not looking good for philly on that trade, as he had those same faults in anaheim.

And that's #19, a lacrosse goal.

 

[Knight53]

9 goals in his last 8 games. Ridiculous.

Almost scored another beauty

 

[PavelBure10]

This kid is just insane.

 

[Canucks LB]

Holy shit this guy is on the tear

 

[Canucks LB]

Crazy injuries and sickness last year, what an unbelievable year he’s having this year

 

[nucksflailtogether]

I really don’t think we’re trading this guy at the dl he’s just too good.

 

[DekeyPete]

Hope we hold onto him. This kind of confidence playing with Miller and petey next year and he'll net 35 goals

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

He's arguably more dominant right now than a 19 year old EP40.

Bonkers. The kid has to be in the top three prospects in all leagues outside the NHL.

Not a f***ing chance he's dealt.

The way he has come on lately has me thinking he has a real shot to make the Canucks out of camp. I don't see him getting dealt at this stage, he has some legit upside.

Chill. EP was the best player in the league. Not to mention his end to that season.

19 year old EP40 put up the most points in SHL history for a U24 player, 2nd in goals for U24, scored 10 playoff goals in 13 games and won an SHL playoff MVP and carried his team to a championship. There’s no one that really comes to close to what Pettersson did as a U24 in the SHL, and it’s unlikely that it ever gets broken again.

Correction: technically he sits 3rd for all time in goals for a U24, but is 2nd all time for U20 SHL player.

 

[Drew Doubty]

Man I can see this guy being ready as soon as next year. Since he recovered from Mono he's been on absolute tear:

15 pts in 15 games in the Allsvensken playoffs
7 goals, 10 pts in 7 WJC games + tournament MVP
19 goals, 29 pts in 41 SHL games - 4th in the league in goals. There's no player under 24 who has more points either.

He was also one of the youngest players to be drafted in 2022. He doesn't turn 20 until July.

Obviously he'll have to adapt to NA ice and physicality, but you'll struggle to find players scoring like him at his age that didn't become impact NHL players.

It's just me or his skillset looks little bit limited except his excellent shot? All his goals looks similar - perfectly placed long distance shots. Don't get me wrong, he looks good and it's logical he does what works for him, but I miss some more creativity and another dimension from him in order to succeed at NHL level.

I'm sure he can be a PP force (despite better goalies) but I'm not sure if it's a good sign he has like just two or three ways how to score a goal. I saw good handling skills in his draft season, but right now it's all about the shot. I'm not saying it's not gonna work in the NHL but many great players busted because they relied solely on their shot.

Id gues you have only watched highlites? Hockey sense, vision and puck skills are extremely elite. Cant give him a bad pass. Gets his shot off fast and hard but can also make plays.

 

[Bounces R Way]

As far as michigans go that was one of the nicer ones. Quick wit it

 

[Knight53]

 

[Russian_fanatic]

My comparision since draft year was Markus Naslund and I stand by it. Maybe he doesn't peak as high as Naslund in 03, but this kid is going to be a perennial 30-40 goal threat. What a steal by the Canucks.

No way he is getting traded at the deadline. Kid is untouchable in my eyes.

 

[UrbanImpact]

Named SHL player of the month. incredible season thus far

 

[Knight53]

[UrbanImpact]

Interested to see how he plays in the playoffs if he has another gear to elevate his play even more.

He is literally carrying Orebro on his back at 19yrs old.

best of 3 series today starts today vs Lulea.

He has a primary assist on the opening goal.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Going to be interesting to see where this guy and Noah Ostlund stack up against one another.

Besides the fact they are Djugarden boys, im not sure what the comparison would be about?

Ostlund is a playmaking C and Lekky is sniper winger.
