F Jonathan Lekkerimaki (2022, 15th, VAN)

[Prntscrn]

Just scored his first SHL goal. Got his first point and assist earlier in the game too

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Should be on the WJC-team! But next year..

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Flames will draft him, and in a couple years the box score will read Lekkerimaki (Valamaki, Mackey)

 

[Prntscrn]

Again

 

[NotProkofievian]

He kicked off a really nice passing play between himself, Öhgren and Östlund on the play which drew the penalty right before this as well. I thought he had a good game overall, just some ''17 year old in the SHL'' problems, and a beautiful goal.

 

[Antiillafire]

Ranked 9th on Central scouting among euro skaters. Too me that is low, I think he’s a better player than Kasper and is the best draft eligible in Sweden. His offensive upside is really high. He’s got all the tools to be a very good top 6 forward. I don’t see the same upside in Kasper. Just my 2 cents.

CSS is a completely joke these days. Especially their Euro scouts. Bunch of 90 year old former coaches.

There are quite a few top Euros though:

Nemec, Jiricek, Kemell, Yurov, Slafkovsky, Miro..., Lekkerimäki, & Lambert.

So not too off their rocker here.

Agreed. I haven’t been impressed with Kasper either.

 

[Prntscrn]

Third of the season. Two in a row, Djurgården has not played a game since he last scored on the 30th of December

 

[AB13]

Maybe the most dangerous Djurgården forward over the entire game despite 5 minutes of ice time. Playing him more seems like a good idea.

Who got the second assist on that play?

 

[Prntscrn]

Who got the second assist on that play?

They didn't award anyone with the seconday on that play, but the puck probably wouln't have left the defensive zone if it wasn't for Eklund's touch

Yeah that's what it was looking like, was wondering why they didn't credit him with the assist. Don't watch a lot of Swedish hockey so didn't know if there's different rules about secondary assists or not

They have now given it to him

How they play Bjerselius over him is a mystery to me

 

[Kcoyote3]

They have now given it to him

Oh sweet.

 

[theslatcher]

Bjerselius, & Forsberg. The Forsberg trade still makes no sense to me.

 

[Osakahaus]

Prolly best Swede in this draft.

 

[theslatcher]

Plays on a line with Eklund+Axelsson today.

Öhgren 13F, and on the other team there's Leo Carlsson, Formark, & Elias Pettersson. A lot to like about this upcoming game.

 

[Osakahaus]

greasy goal

 

[theslatcher]

Also got the primary on Djurgården's 2-1 goal which became the GWG:

 

[Kcoyote3]

Watched his whole game yesterday. Played extremely well for his age. Good offensive instincts, created like 5 high danger chances, went 1+1. He seems taller than 5'11"

 

[OneSniffTwoSniff]

I think he can be the Sebastian Aho of this draft.

 

[CoSi]

I think he can be the Sebastian Aho of this draft.

Except he'll be selected around 10-15

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Except he'll be selected around 10-15

Right in the Sharks draft range. He and Eklund can be buddies forever
