  1. Just finished watching the highlights and Lekkerimaki did not disappoint. He took every chance that he got and should have had at least 1 goal. Right handed and loves to shoot the puck. It's early days and he still needs to prove he can skate and battle at the NHL level, but on the offensive side you have to think the coaches love this kid's raw material.

  9. Good to see someone putting the hilights together and offering up some notes.
    As for Lekkerimaki who I watched closely last year this great showing doesn't surprise me at all i expected it as I was higher than anyone on him making the jump quickly.
    Even better than all these hilights there were several more clever plays and passes Lekkerimaki made last night where you can see when Lekkerimaki gets the chance to play with the Miller's and Peteys of the Canucks he's going to elevate his and his linemates game because of his highest elite level talent and IQ he has in his arsenal and those players are on a different level and need similar players to be their best.
    As for making that kind of leap as a kid his age it's not a worry when any Grade A prospect is the best of the best and has a great awareness of defensive responsibilities and is smart about turning pucks over and with JL you can see he already has that part of the game figured out and implements it which makes me respect this kid even more.

    Get excited fellow Canucks fans we have an elite top line player coming that's going to be Petey good and I think even better as funny as that sounds.

  10. OMG.. OK I understand this vid was made thru the eyes of a Canucks homer but seriously "dazzles" is no where close to how the kid performed?? Stretching the truth at best. Plus looking at the lineup it wasnt much of a prospect Canuck team by age. Go ahead and ice an AHL team against a prospect team from Edmonton

  16. Always good to see the young talent coming up through the league. Makes it a little seeing the end for guys like Pavelski. The Canucks draft record seems to be shying away from drafting Canadians, at least in the first round. Not sure that is always the best approach.

  25. Lekki,Arsh,and Raty Could One Day Be All On The Same Line In Vancouver or Just On The Team,and Wait Till,D Petey And Petey Hook Up For A Goal In Vancouver,And Hope They Hold Onto Tolo Would Make A Good Back Up For Silovs If Demko Is Not Ready Time To Let Some Of These Prospects Get An Opportunity Sometime This Season
