Lekky is pretty good away from the puck positionally. Very smart player in terms of seeing the bigger picture on the ice, and from what I have seen, is committed to winning, not just scoring. No stranger to breaking up plays on the back check in the neutral zone and hustling back to help against odd-man rushes. Physically limited in what he can do with board battles and I doubt he's ever seen near a PK unit. Kuzy and Sprong couldn't see the forest for the trees,-- they were very short sighted and one dimensional offensively when it came to their hockey IQ, and at their best defensively, were just hustling to where coach told them.
he will be one of those rare Laine types that will consistently beat goalies from distance. Allvin took a chance when he was all about his shot, very young for his draft year, he worked on his defensive game and his skating improved enough not to be a liability. He looks like the real deal when many gave up on him during his lacklustre D+1.
Who gave up on him?
