Damn, he’s been showing out with Abby, so this sucks. Hopefully he can recover and come to camp next year to try to fight for a spot with the big club.

Canucks and injury prone prospects are the best duo since the Sedins
All the best to Lekk

i think it might be time to consider if Lekkerimaki should be considered injury prone. So not only does he have conditioning, speed, and physicality against him, he has injuries and illnesses that seem to plague him on a constant basis.

The Canucks are cursed.
Is it the Messier Maki 11 curse?

The rebuild is going to take more than 2 years Jim.

Well he needed a big off-season of training and this is gonna derail that. This very well could be the killer for his NHL career. Unfortunately time to write him off, and if it happens great but he can’t be relied upon as a legit prospect anymore.
Careless_Classroom79
Is he a bust? Has been lighting it up in Abby but can’t seem to make the smooth transition to the nhl
Nier_Perfect
Man this is some next level tanking to have two players taken down from injury during the break.
CapnPositivity
That’s actually bonkers. This kid needs to bulk up – he has the constitution of a soggy cardboard box

Will the suffering ever end?
No-Luck-At-All
He hasn’t even made the NHL yet, and already he is injury prone. Not looking good.

I didn’t even know he had a shoulder injury??

Just our luck

The Canucks are just really cursed at this point
RezChi
I wonder if this is the same shoulder that was hurt a few months ago and they never fully looked at it properly

Are the Canucks pulling a Utah Jazz?

Canucks can’t catch a break unless it’s a players limb

Canucks is a cursed organisation

I’ve been having durability concerns with Lekkeremakki for a while now. Seems like anytime he starts to get momentum, some type of injury/illness derails him.
And for a player whose biggest question marks are developing NHL-level strength & athleticism this isn’t going to help.
It just isn’t going to be easy to make it to the NHL with such a slender frame, and you’re not going to be able to handle the wear/tear of an 82 game season.

Guy who mostly has a shot going for him needs shoulder surgery, well this bodes well

What the actual fuck

Ever since Adam Gaudette got traded, the team has been injury prone. Bring back his crystals!
LIL_DROP13
The only NHL team to have two players injured out during the break
slothropdroptop
Another win for Canucks’ medical team! At what point is there an audit?
allsportsfan
This is what happens when a prospect is weaker than his opponents. You’re more likely going to get injured. He needs time to rehab then get stronger, that’s the biggest issue for him to be a full time NHLer, he’s got the offensive Skill, he needs to get stronger and work on hia NHL awareness.
phantomgiratina
What happened, like last time he scored two goals in abbby and now he’s having season ending surgery
Strict-Caterpillar38
This is actually diabolical, I’m at a loss for words, we are beyond cursed. All Lekk needed was a long, healthy offseason to get stronger. What is wrong with this team?
rajde1
Hopefully it doesn’t mess up his offseason training.
Admt-
First off, sucks for him. Guy must be bummed since it seemed like he would get an extended look later this season.
That said, there are a few guys that were drafted behind Lekkerimaki who are starting to emerge, Ostlund and Yurov come to mind.
The cupboards are so bare with this team that the org can’t afford potential misses. This may get downvoted but it’s not even a foregone conclusion that Cootes was the correct choice over Reschny.

players end up injured

Oh FFS. If this kid had been healthy all year he would have gotten such an opportunity, man.

To me he is example A of why a training facility is beneficial.
