Jonathan Lekkerimaki Arrived in Abbotsford

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I get the fact that they wanted to get Garland back in, even though he looked to be far from 100 percent.

But Lekkerimaki scratched in favor of guys like Aman and Karlsson, makes zero sense to me.

Karlsson played a very strong game previously and Aman plays down the middle so i can see the reasoning. Last night Karlsson looked a bit overwhelmed and out of his element physically - would expect Lekk to get the call tomorrow again.

All I know is that in EHM when I have two budding prospects I always make them split time in the NHL to maintain waiver ineligibility, and to suppress their next contracts, while maintaining "progress" in their careers so they continue to develop with more ice time in the minors.
I'm happy with what the Canucks are doing in letting these guys young guys all taste the trickle-down minutes.

Looked dangerous against NYR, but only got the 1 shot.

You can see him start to shine against the less structured teams, but he's got a way to go yet. Has to be quicker to evade checks. Keep the puck moving.

They should give him some runway for the remainder of the season. Don't take him out.

Agreed he showed potential but needs to get a bit stronger and quicker/faster as even a little bit more in both areas will go a long way for him as he has some interesting tools.
