The Canucks have an absolute STAR in the making…

Jonathan Lekkerimaki and the Vancouver Canucks have competed in the young stars classic throughout the past few days, collecting 2 wins over the Edmonton Oilers and the Winnipeg Jets. The Canucks have had some great performers like Elias Pettersson and Vilmer Arliksson, but Lekkerimaki could genuinely compete for a spot on the roster. Do you think he makes the squad on October 9th vs the Flames?

  1. Yeah, all you guys say better be an Abbotsford yeah, well, if I was him, I'd want to be in the NHL. Why would I want to play down there when I complain the NH? L, so thanks for trying to keep me an abater.When I want to be in the n, h, l, can I make a demon

  2. I think he could but we will definitely see him on the team come pre season. My bet is he stays fairly late in the pre season but will start in Abby and will get some chances as the season goes on.

  3. You are a very intelligent man and your telling of things is spoken and worded fantastic and easy to understand. You did a great job putting this video, thank you for that and I'm happy to have found your channel and have subbed, keep up your great work: )

  4. Why are people so scared to use him right away?
    Didnt we use pettersson and hughes right away? And this guy put up numbers like pettersson before coming here.
    I rather not let him get too comfortable playing down there like podkolzin did.

  5. 2:53 I know there were some mild complaints that he didn't get on the board, but c'mon, it's not like these games were all that structured with team chemistry. Pavel Bure didn't score in his first NHL game, because he was tossed right into a game with very little time to get used to his own team. Wait until pre-season. That's where we'll see if he's ready for an early call up. Canucks forward depth is pretty solid this season, so if injuries come up, I'm looking at him or Bains as two key guys. Obviously there are other options, but that'll be up to coaching staff. Lekkerimaki sure looked good though.

    3:55 Given Hogs goal production 5-0n-5 this past season, I am really hoping he builds on that. If he does, he's going nowhere (outside of a trade, which should only happen if it improves the Canucks elsewhere in the lineup).

  6. Oooo Vancouver rookies can beat the masterclass that is the oilers rookies who don’t have anyone good let in them… hell in one of your clips where you said this rookie looked good 2 oilers ran into each other…. The fact that Vancouver only scored 2 against the oilers rookies is kinda terrible for Vancouver cause the oilers rookie depth is terrible
