Rutherford: “We have Lekkerimaki coming, which based on his year this year (in Sweden and the AHL), if he comes in and has a good camp, he’ll make a case to be on the team right away.”

> We do feel comfortable in the fact that we have four or five guys now from Abbotsford (in the American Hockey League) that should be knocking on the door to be with the big team.
Guessing that’s probably Lekkerimaki, Karlsson, McWard, Raty and maybe Bains or Sasson?

Lekkerimaki on an ELC as a cheap winger. Rutherford and Allvin gonna keep cooking their plan.

It’s now or never with this kid. Basically a bust if he has a bad camp.

Who needs Guentzel when we have Lekkerimaki?

I love Brock I mean I luuuuuuurve him. He has one more year left. Don’t kill me. I’m just putting it out there. If this kid is for real, would any of you contemplate moving Brock for a great forward and a d ? talking about the deal Minny made with Fiala for pick and faber. What you guys 💭

I really don’t see Lekkeremaki being able to make the team out of camp, *and* playing a meaningful role next season.

Wasn’t he rather underwhelming in Abby? Despite getting only 3rd line minutes.

It’s exciting to have top flight wingers coming through the pipeline, hopefully he makes a big impact next year, and every reason to think he will

This is covering his ass if they can’t land guentzel

So. Fucking. Pumped to see this kid out on the ice. Imagine if we got a Petey 2.0

I’m just going to put this here. Lekkerimaki is going to light it up next year and win the Calder. This is the prophecy. Check back after the season.

This is very surprising to me

Rutherford gushing over Lekkerimaki has to be spin. If the 18 yr old Swede wins a roster spot it speaks poorly of the talent in Abbotsford?
