I'm not sure why he decided to attact your post about Lysell. I mean all you were doing was talking about why Lysell may not be getting the ice time over JL, so what if you did not mention the other players. No where in your post did you take away from JL earned ice time. Edited August 17, 2022 by vancan2233 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jerseys all have those tracking chips in them now. That would be the fastest speeds recorded by those chips during game play. Could of been any time during the tournament so far.

Popular Post Dixon Ward Posted August 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2022 After he was drafted, a bunch of people were saying skating is a weakness for JL. Now he's the fastest skater at the World Juniors? Why aren't we talking about this more? 2 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has separation speed, but he doesn't use it that often. If he played with more pace overall, I don't think it gets as much attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean in a sense it is just my opinion, but it will be pretty clear to anyone to has watched the players substantially. Don't need to go too far back and talk about Ho-Sang, Milano, etc., but just in the past couple drafts I said exactly the same sorts of things about Cole Perfetti and Fabian Lysell that I said about Kemell this year, and I correctly predicted all three getting drafted later than the consensus expected. NHL GMs just do not like taking a lot of risk with high draft picks. How they turn out long-term is still to be determined, and surely some of them will turn out to be superstars. I don't have anything against any of them per se, but I couldn't believe so many people were talking about Kemell as a potential top 3 pick at times throughout the season. But it will be interesting to watch when one of them hits big, fans will flock to say "I told you so" and "how did this player ever fall as far as they did?" and "it should have always been obvious to everyone how skilled he was and that he would be a star in the NHL." I'll be that guy. Said it all year Kemell is a better scoring winger than Lekkerimaki I'll stand by it. Time will tell. Hope you're right since we got your guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lekkerimaki is somewhat like EP, very cerebral, and goes to where the puck is going to go, and passes to where he thinks/wants teammates to be when the puck gets there. He is having an outstanding tournament, anticipating and intercepting passes, taking the puck away on the boards, and making passes that set up goals. Remember, he was only 17 a few weeks ago...

Yeah I was just noticing that as well. It's hard to get a read when he's playing 3rd line and they're winning. Plus he's so young. I've been watching all the Finn games and Kemell is a huge opportunist. He benefits from getting the puck on his stick at the right time but doesn't really make a huge impact himself and is more benefitting from teammates from what I see. I like that he's accepting of a role in order to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Everytime I've watched Lekkerimaki his IQ is evident. Knows how to get himself into a good shooting position, and when he has the puck he knows what to do with it, and can do it quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure961089 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I found this interesting. Scouts were saying Lekkerimaki was on the slow side. Turns out he’s pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Grans is a D, not sure about the other guy but he wasn't much of a shooter either. Maybe its hard in a tournament like this to gel, but why would you not put Lekkerimaki on the point as a shooter - its his bread an butter. Or even someone like Ohgren who has a good shot. I don't get the personnel decisions that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
