Quoting: Xqb15a
No thanks to that puppy, Lehkonen proved he was the guy for the top 6.
Lehkonen did what he did in MTL
Players go injured and he filled in
Did it in MTL SCF filling in for Tatar then sat, then brought back with Evans out
He played 2nd and 3rd line as a result despite most considering Tatar's line top
Toffoli-Suzuki-Caufield lead the team in minutes and playoff scoring
Lehkonen is the guy who can play anywhere but isnt consistent enough to be a lock like a Landeskog,Rantanen,Mkinnon,ext all proved early on they were.
AL is a great piece they highly value but im not sure he'll be their top line guy its more likely they push Landeskog-Kadri line on top with Mckinnon-Rantanen to 2nd pair to accomodate Lehkonen
Expecting Lehkonen to score 50+ pts which to me a Top line Player in COL has to is just unrealistic
You're putting him in a position to fail straight out the gate
