Prospect Info: Lenni Hämeenaho (#58 Pick - 2nd Round - 2023 Draft)

[Juzmo]

Also had a season high 21 minutes of ice time with the ot and the pp during it.

Plus 3 goals in 8 playoff games.

And he had zero through however many games at the start of last year.

Finished last year strong, starting this season on a heater.

Zero in his first 18*. So 16 goals in his last 46 games.

*and those were a rough 18 in general (top-scorer had 7 points after 16 games) so this new system so far has had its positives even with the lack of success on the powerplay

His name is similar to the singer/bassist of Motörhead (Lemmy) and his teams logo is a Spade. I keep.thinking of the song "The Ace Of Spades" when I see his link to the Twitter highlights for Hameenaho haha.

God, I love Motorhead.

God, I love Motorhead.

You name God in the Motorhead context? Because of Lemmy? Or Lenny?
I like a couple of their songs but are they having enough depth in their music to love them?

Some good pressure and chances from the first line and Lenni in the first 5 mins against HPK

edit. Lenni did the thing again. 1-0 25min in.

Just as I keep telling you, he can't fail.

It’s so weird lol, from the games I’ve watched he’s set up some nice chances, I’m sure some of those will convert soon!

Definitely setting up a bunch.

Would also help if the powerplay got it going (all 3 of his assists in preseason came on it).

I think it goes without saying but in todays day and age I simply dont see how Lenni and his meandonlyme kinda attitude problems are gonna fit with what Fitz and co are trying to build.

He needs to be less like Teemu Selanne and more like Janne Kuokkanen. We better trade his ass before rest of the league catches on.

Nope. We need him. Top-6 players on ELC is what doctor said.

He made great breakout pass just now to help escaping the zone for 2-1 chance, but still no assist.

About to start a 2023 redraft thread on the main board putting Lenni #1

 

[Guadana]

He can hit, he retrives the puck, he closes gaps and takeaway the pucks, he understand where he should be to find or shot for the high scoring chance, he is playing toughest minutes. He was drafted this summer, he is nearly gpg\ppg player now.

Let's not overreact (based on that picture you put up).

Lenni believer since day 1

At this point, the biggest question mark shouldn’t be about his skating, but how will he adapt to playing in Western hemisphere time zones.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Thank god I was out here early on being pro lenni

Long road to go obviously, but it’s be hard to ask for more so far

He was the leading scorer in the WJC Summer Showcase

Every scouting report was like “good at literally everything, just needs to improve his skating”. You can see why we had him as a 1st round talent if we believed the skating was fixable.
