Jonathan Lekkerimaki - Arrived in Abbotsford

[Regal]

While the all may be true, it’s important to remember that Lekkerimaki is a Canuck.

Yea I think he’s still a very intriguing player to have who projects well even if he’s not Pasta. Especially if Petey and Miller can stay and get their shit together

I think what Lekkerimaki has shown/done is very encouraging. Let's hope he manages to stay healthy and continues to develop.

My biggest concern with Lekkerimaki is that Tocchet might not be the coach for him. As in he may not reach his full potential here.

Certainly, but nobody is using someone like Pastrnak as a comparable for any reason other than every Canuck prospect is the best possible one forever

True, though every team’s fans probably are the same

Yup.

One must be very careful about making projections like that. I can see why the comparison was made, but it's not really helpful to the poor kid. If you are pencilling 100 points perennially into the lineup like 4 years down the road and you're right, I'm very happy for you.

But there's a personality behind the player and why they make plays out there that they do. It's funny how when you speed everything up, trouble begins. It's much harder to crash a car at 50kph rather than 100kph. It's much easier to make a bad play at the NHL level than even the AHL level.

How is Lekkerimäki after that fall into the boards? Felt a bit scared seeing that :-(

He's missed three games with Abbotsford since that incident. Abbotsford is now off till Friday, so he's got some time to recover.
