Good lord Alf. Get out of the house and go to a junior hockey game. Kids score every day. They're not all Bossy. Lol. Thanks for cheerleading for a nux prospect but...Yeesh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lekkerimaki is a very similar player at the same age. 3 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several months later he joined the Islanders in the NHL and went on to score 91 points as a rookie. Sadly, Lekk has not had anything remotely like that in his trajectory. But I will hope he improves as I am sure you do. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lekkerimaki is a very similar player at the same age. Hot take. But no way. Bossy was a skinny kid for sure but he had the wrist shot sakic modeled his after. The kind that comes across once a generation if lucky. He also has that chop slapper that just wrecked goalies He is the best and most prolific goal scoring individual in the league for a reason and Jonny boy needs to step his game up 9.4 levels to be classes anywhere near the Boss 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Anyways, back here on planet earth it's great to see the kid back and making an impact after a real rough year. Seems like Lek may take a little longer to develop, but that's okay, as we're pretty deep on the wing. We can afford to let him marinate. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sure is nice to see. Hopefully he continues to work on his strength and speed in the off-season. I wonder when we will see him in Abby?

Popular Post Herberts Vasiljevs Posted March 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2023 I ditched this thread for a while because I just assumed we wouldn't see Lek until this summer. Couldn't be happier to see him having success and at such a critical point in the season! 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His development wasn't bad, it was the copious amounts of injuries that just couldnt let him get where he wanted to be. His last injury stint was something that allowed him to really hit the gym. His skating is actually quite good and with more lower body strength will only get better. He will most likely do one more season in Sweden, then come over when hes 20 and play in the AHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lekkerimaki is a very similar player at the same age. When I first came on this site a couple years ago, man I did not like Alf very much. Then slowly I started to get the schtick. Funniest poster on here. But yeah Lekkerimaki is awesome. Reminds me of a Justin Williams-lite or maybe Milan Hejduk. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Cathode Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 There is more than a little droll in Alf. Adjust your sights accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Not really sure what to think about Lek's development. On one hand you'd love to see a much better season obviously, on the other hand his tools have always been that of an opportunistic & talented 'pure goal scorer'. He's had some injury/sickness troubles but had his moments, we'll see where next year takes him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
