Swapping struggling forwards

Lehkonen is untouchable stop trying to trade him his a depth player

We got a lot of similar guys on the team, Lehky is easily replaceable. I'd rather take a chance on Pulju.

Hell no at least we know Lehkonen could play in own end and kill penalties

Pulju circles around the ice and about to be send down to AHL

Lehkoenen just needs a partner .

on Galchenyuks wing he had 11 points in 12 games leading into the playoffs where he was 1 of only 4 forwards to show up , a rookie out played veterans .
put him with Gallagher and Plekanec then you see his defensive side come into play and thats why Claude Julien was constantly and i mean Constantly talking about how much he like Lehkonen's game as a shut down player.

when you put him with an offensive line and he develops chemistry with them , then he will succeed but the issue is he's only done that with Gallagher , Chucky and Plekanec people who he would have thought of as mentors . on a line with Kotkanemi and a 1st year habs its Lehkonen who's being looked at and i dont think he's ready for that responsibility .

put him with Danault and Gallagher .
put Tatar and Drouin with Kotkanemi
put Byron with Domi-Shaw

then you have a True 3 line offensive threat .

simply not true , Claude Julien did brag on Lehkonen all of last year for nothing .
he's his shutdown winger going forward.

the issue is Lehkonen just been thrown into a leadership role for Kotkanemi when he's still in need of leadership himself
