If you're getting that many shots per a game - and converting regularly on them - you might actually be too good for that level.

That said... Leave him there for a stretch. Let him dominate and feel good himself before calling up while cleaning up his ES play.

His ev production is actually still solid well above 2 per 60. Obviously it stands out that his pp production is insane.

This is where I'm at, too. He's doing well - let him get to 10-15 games, and if he's sustaining, give him a reward.

post game show was talking about the potential of calling him up if Boeser is out a couple of games. Might not be a bad idea, give him a taste of it and then send him back down after Boeser comes back.

Hopefully Boeser doesn't miss any games.

The team average for +/- is -2 in Abbotsford.

…Lekkerimaki is a -8

Unless he’s being called up to just see some PP time, there is no way Tochett is letting him see much ice at 5 on 5.

Add in the fact that thus far he’s playing far too often on the perimeter, calling him up now is not what’s best for his development.

Be patient with the kid and put him in a position to succeed when he’s called up…
Having him cost us goals and watching Tochett staple him to the bench is not the way to do that.
