    More than 5 minutes of icetime might give us a better idea of what he is capable of.

    Im maybe a little bit glass half empty on Lekkeremakki. I’ve watched him live a handful of times, so I’ve seen how legit his shot/release is. 

    It just really boils down to what he can do in the other 99.9% of the time when he is on the ice and isn’t shooting the puck. I think he needs to pay close attention to Conor Garland and develop that tenacity, and ability to play a smaller mans game along the wall. I’d love to see him start winning battles along the wall and driving to the home plate (versus being more of a perimeter player). I’d love to see better separation in his first few strides, and more elusive edge work. 

    A lot of the work he needs to do though, is in the off-season. He’s very much a boy among men right now.

    I keep saying this but he’s a few years away from the NHL. He needs to build more size and strength and continue to develop away from the puck. Playing him 10 mins a game is a great way to turn him into a grinder. Let him continue to dominate the AHL and work on what he needs to down there.

    I’ve always considered his absolute ceiling is Jake Guentzel. Same frame. Same knack for scoring. He just doesn’t seem to have the jam and compete to play against bigger guys. At least right now

    I’m not paying to read Drancer, or giving any money to the Althetic/NYTimes.
