Unfortunately, he's not coming anywhere close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both he and EP have had a solid tourney so far 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoasting Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Let’s trade him and Boeser for a good dman like Forsling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 This kid is so smart. He’s really good away from the puck. Very sound defensively. As he gets his legs I can see the Swedish coach moving Lakerimaki up into Lysel’s spot. Lysel is very bad without the puck. Putting Lakerimaki up with more skilled players will get him more offensive looks too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcing plays, charging into coverage 1 on 2 or 3. That said, I still want to see more from Lekkerimaki at this tournament, both offensively and defensively. He's been getting progressively better as things go along, but he looks way too jittery. Just needs to calm down and take his time with the puck a little more.

He's still young, needs 2 - 3 years to smooth his game out, but the core talent is there. Was pretty impressed with his skill and determination on that shift. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I’m less concerned about total points in this tournament and more about which games and when does a player show up? Do they rack up a bunch of gimme points against weaker opponents? Or do they get the big game tying goals or game winning assists in crucial games? Still a long ways to go for this to be considered a great tournament for him but this is at least a step in the right direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he was very decisive in OT this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
