You cannot play for a CHL team and practice with a pro team. I'm pretty sure that's not a thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHL and WHL are two separate leagues, the CBA has many rules regarding practice, practicing with the AHL team while playing in another league is not going to happen at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) On top of that how would that be fair to the Giants that a kid playing in your top 6 is practicing with another team half the time. Makes no sense for either team. Edited April 12, 2023 by canuck73_3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lekerimaki is too good for the CHL. If he comes over it’s the AHL for him. But if he did want to dominate the CHL and score 100 goals that would be fun to watch. He could skate with the pro guys but not formally practice with them. But being here gives him those opportunities he’s not getting in Europe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid is an excellent 200 foot player, who has the knack for putting up points and scoring. He’s a lot like Mitch Marner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Kid is coming along nicely. Showing up when the lights are brightest. Gotta love it. He's a slow burn prospect, was always the case. I am intrigued by his development. Still not a fan of his size, but if we add size to the roster in other ways there's no reason this kid can't become an electric scoring option in our top 6 one day. But, it was always the case this kid was gonna take time to develop. Nice to see he's having a good playoff run though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that long ago the franchise was devoid of prospects, now we're sort of getting a little picky 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Where are all these negative posters on Lekkerimaki ? Saying kids at 18 is a bust..So ridiculous the 10--15 % of posters on these sites...But expected looking for reaction.. Great to see him bounce back so fast after last injury... Only 18 sure hope he has a great off season and free of injuries in the future.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
