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

[devilsblood]

His skating is one of the most overblown concerns about a prospect I've ever seen.

 

[Forge]

Completely random and intrusive thought is that he's the most likely prospect we have that gets moved at this deadline or in the off season.

no chance I am moving him for a rental

I am fine moving him for a forward upgrade this summer though

What prompts you to say that?

My cat's ghost. Big fan of Lenni Hams.

Inasmuch as something like 3% is higher than 2%, sure. Moving a player like this seems quite foolish.

 

[Guadana]

I hope Fitz will not trade Nemec, Silayev Gritsyuk, Casey, Hameenaho, Malek, Yegorov, and Orlov for short term solutions. I would like to save Traff too.
Most of them look even more promising as a long term solutions by their talent and low price under the cap for contending team.

About his skating.



There is more analysis about him, I just highlighted his skating.

lol I like Lenni but given our forward prospects saying he has the highest ceiling isn’t that high of a bar

 

[Hisch13r]

PP assist off the draw

 

[New Jerseys Devil]

Will he be trying out for the big club this summer?

This is my thought with devils prospects in general. We can’t afford to keep trading future depth for older short term help. The core is already here, we need future ELCs and RFAs to come in and fill spots.

 

[forceten]

I hope over the summer he comes over and works on his skating with Mrs. Hughes. Looking forward to seeing him in camp.

 

[devilsblood]

Will he be trying out for the big club this summer?

I assume he'll be in the US next year. If he's really good he'll be in NJ, if he's not quite ready then Utica.

Now while I'm sure the team would love it if he was so good out of the gate he forces his way into the NHL, I think the team would like the idea of him providing depth while playing in the AHL.

Lenni with another PP-assist today with his season-high 20:37 TOI:



Thought he had two all-around solid games this week with his usual stuff.

Next one on the 12th after the Euro Hockey Tour break.

 

[Juzmo]

Lenni with another PP-assist today.



Thought he had a solid game with his line and had a good amount of chances, while too many from the rest of the team are struggling a tad too much atm.

 

[Juzmo]

Lenni with a nice secondary assist today for point number 40:



Continued with another sturdy overall performance with the highlights being several good passes for some great chances. So far a welcome improvement compared to how it felt like a bit of a slog for him at times during the latter half of the previous reg. season.

 

[HBK27]

Haven't followed Lenni too much this season, but stat wise he's matched last season's games played and has improved his goal and assist totals.

He's 2nd on his team in scoring and 20th overall in the league.

Also tied for 19th overall in goals with Devils legend Nate Schnarr.

 

[ecco]

I don't know how shots on goal translate between leagues, but I like that Lenni is 6th in the league with 237 shot attempts and he often seems to be at the top of the team in shots every game.
