Faber and Quads had an interesting discussion from their poll question on Friday’s show.
Is Danila Klimovich a top-three prospect in the Vancouver Canucks’ system after his strong AHL season? And how is Jonathan Lekkerimäki going to rank in the pipeline after an up-and-down 2022-23 season.
In the end, which of the two is the better shot-heavy prospect?

What a dumb debate. Lekkerimaki is clearly the better prospect. It's not close.
Top 3 leagues? Thats the 3rd?
NHL.
AHL.
Swedish Elite league? KHL? Whatever the DEL is? Lol.
Klimovich was such a raw talent. Best thing is if both players become good NHLers. Two different roles. Klimovich is more of a power forward. With two way skill.Lekkerimaki probably won't do a lot of banging in the corners. Is a skill forward. Both players ceilings seem to be a bit higher yet. Jonathan went through some issues and only became healthy before the playoffs. I don't think he was near 100%. Probably a little weaker and had lost a couple pounds. He plays at 100% every one will be surprised. He should have some rapid improvement.
JL top ceiling will be the 2nd Markus Naslund, a sniper. DK combines power forward plus skills. Therefore, I agree with Faber's eveluation.
I like klimovichs game. He reminds me of ovechkin in so many ways
I see lekkerimaki has great game too n im sure he'll be great but the reminders of ovechkin to me gives klimovich the nod here
It's Lekkerimaki and it's not close. It's not really fair to compare an 18 year old to a 20 year old. Lekkerimaki's ceiling is way higher. At this point Klimo is probably a bottom six energy guy while Lekkermaki still has top 6 potential. I think both will play NHL games for the big club which is great.
Lekkermakki was a horrible pick definitely not I the top 10 of our prospects so Klimavich is the better prospect anyone who thinks otherwise is dumb as shit
NHL
KHL
AHL
