I like really Lek'...but is it just me...or does he look less and less like a true top6 player?
Again, I really like him. He's not big but plays with a lot of grit, not unlike Gallagher and Shaw. He's smart with the puck and doesn't turn it over easily. Decent skill set, speed and all.
But now he's playing with two very creative players, Drouin and Galchenyuk, and, to be honest, he sort of looks out of place.
Every single time the puck comes to his stick, he kills the play with a bad shot or, something he's rarely been seen doing before, turns the puck over.
I think Lek fits more with players who play a simple North/South type of game...like Danault or even Pleky.
Completely agree.
I think Hudon would be a much better fit on that line than Lehkonen right now.
