A little high for him. But he is very good. I could see the Jackets being interested in him at 12 if he is still there.

Doubt he makes it to 12. I could see him go as high as 7th and as low as 10. Better Junior numbers than Zibanejad . 9 in 26 for Djurgardens and 35 in 26 for Djurgardens Jr. and doesn’t turn 18 till July. And just scored this amazing goal .

Sharks would probably draft him if players like Lambert are off the board. Djurgardens Sharks

I wish for the Jackets to win the draft lottery, draft Nemec at 2 or 3 then get him at 5. This draft has so many potential steals…

I want a Swedish star forward again

Me too. Yzerman keeps taking them

At current position, I have Columbus drafting either Savoie and Mateychuk or Jiricek and Geekie/Gauthier

Oliver Johansson looking like a lowkey draft steal at 74th overall. 41 points in 33 games for Timra's j20 team, and he doesn't turn 19 until the end of July. Either this summer or next Christmas we should get to see him at the World Juniors for Sweden. Really exciting skillset.

I still think a guy should be at least putting up decent numbers for the top league in his draft + 1

Yeah that’s pretty accurate. I could see the Jackets though opt for Rutger McGroarty. I also love that guy too. Blue Jacket type guy.

Yes... Having followed his whole season, I'm very high on him. He's gotten stronger the whole year, adapting to each level and excelling. I think he will be the best goal scorer of the draft and should be taken before Kemell. If the sens are debating trading the pick for a forward, don't and draft Lekerrimaki haha

100%

He was a very young 18 year old this year, and Timra sucks. They were carried out of the relegation league by Jonathan Dahlen going absolutely wild, without him they were the worst SHL team pretty comfortably. You can't exactly blame him, there's only so much an 18 year old can do playing limited 4th line minutes on the worst team in the league. Context matters. Very good season for a 3rd round pick.

Have u seen Lekkerimaki’s numbers ? 9 in 26 is exactly what Zibanejad had in his draft year for Djurgardens. But Lekkerimaki is younger and better numbers in Sweden’s 2nd league

?? Yeah I'm not really comparing the two? Just saying that Johansson had a good season, obviously he's not a top 10 pick level player.

Yeah yeah I know. But Lekkerimaki would be a real nice player with Stutzle. So would Nazar or Kemell or Savoie. I just hope they don’t take Gauthier.

If Nemec, Slafkovsky, or Nazar is sitting there, they take. Lekkerimaki is top 8 IMO and a star with one of the highest ceilings in draft

Yup

I'd honestly take Lekkerimaki before Nazar and also had him in my 7-9 range.
