No points for Lekkerimaki though. In OT ...c'mon Lekkerimaki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was like "okay, obviously has a shot!". But ultimately, felt we needed a all around 200 ft player going forward. Now that I see Lekkys development. I see more of a cerebral offensive player that had defensive awareness, and getting better. He ain't no Petey but is trending on becoming a #1-2 winger on Peteys/Miller's wing. Not sure he'll ever be great on the wall digging for pucks but in space, knowing where to be and finding the soft area... Could be elite. You can't teach how to score...players either have a knack for it or not, and its one of the most valuable skills in hockey. You can find guys to dig out pucks and play for cheap...what's harder is to find guys who can consistently score 30 or more goals a season. Hopefully, he's one....Boeser looked to be that guy but sadly I think he's 40-50 pt player and 20-24 goal guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you keep your draft picks. AND you stay true to drafting BPA! Most upside possible? You will have a Lekkerimaki that blows the doors off. Another that makes it, is productive. Plus one that fails? They won't all hit. Injuries, life, the speed of the NHL, opportunity. But its also your team to get the diamonds in the rough in2knd and 4th rounds because you have that philosophy! Without drafting for upside, however, you are almost never to find elite productivity. 5 hours ago, BlockerHigh said: You can't teach how to score...players either have a knack for it or not, and its one of the most valuable skills in hockey.

Hopefully, he's one....Boeser looked to be that guy but sadly I think he's 40-50 pt player and 20-24 goal guy. Absolutely. It is fair, important to recognize, that scoring is also not the only upside component. Kesler, for example, had as much upside defensively as a 40 goal scorer. You need play drivers & puck control guys, D who can get it out of the zone, not get turned by Crosby. Looking at it from a standpoint of both a scorer, the glue guy who wins all the pucks & most other criteria where you can be an all star. Upside can be defined in ways other than scoring is my warning, my point. Like a top D, I agree you will never get it without drafting it! So I like Lekkerimaki over Ohgren. Almost nobody can be elite without having readily observable athletic that is always a mismatch. Even the glue guy, Hoglander has as much potential as a puck winner as Garland. That because he has elite quickness to a puck, power to breakaway, puff to outlast guys & still dig. Corralling my point, the best scorer is also the guy who can score that has wicked speed & power; see Stamkos etc. Where anybody is close, grab the athlete as the decider. In this context, Ohgren who looks like a great two way player, can even score; is he ever going to be a game breaker? Not the same power and agility.

I don't feel a need to demand that others stay on topic, or even that they be polite. My option, if I don't have an interest in where they've gone, is to ignore them. You do realize that complaining about others going off topic, is another form of going off topic? Anyway, I'm enjoying Lek's breakout, it would have been an awful blow to the organization had he not. I kind of see Lek as a rerun of Naslund: a smaller guy with a killer shot and a knack for getting into great scoring positions - notice, I picked up your abreviation for our guy. The cleverness of others is a wonderful resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as we like to shit on Juolevi now, he was actually engaged in the board battle for the puck. Another seemingly failed prospect, forward Filip Hallander, was the one shying away in front of the net. Regardless, nice to see Lekkerimaki continue his hot start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
