Have you guys fixed the team yet?

The last time we checked in on Lekkerimaki, he had just put up four assists in Game 4 of the Allsvenskan Final where Djurgardens left with a 3-1 series deficit against MoDo. Facing elimination in Game 5 on April 26, he scored a goal in his team’s 6-4 win and another assist in Game 6’s 3-2 double-overtime victory to force a deciding Game 7. Unfortunately, he couldn’t help complete the comeback as he was held pointless in the final game. His five-game point streak was also snapped, leaving him with an impressive 15 points in 15 games.

Now the question becomes, where does Lekkerimaki play next season? Considering he dominated the playoffs and started to show off his offensive awareness and wicked wrist shot again, would his development be stunted in a lower league like the Allsvenskan? If I was general manager Patrik Allvin, I would want him playing in the highest league possible, which overseas would be the SHL. With Djurgardens facing yet another season in the Allsvenskan, that is now off the table. So that leaves the AHL and a plane ride to Abbotsford. First, the Canucks need to sign him to an entry-level contract and hope that his injury woes are behind him. If he can translate his success overseas (especially from the playoffs) to the AHL, and stay healthy, a 2022-23 season like Linus Karlsson’s could be in the cards for 2023-24.

There’s no fixing, just acceptance.

Do you have to buy a seat for your ego?

Well played.

Tocchet says the next level for Pettersson is on the leadership front. He says Petey is “uncomfortable talking in front of his teammates.”

Then let him be and just focus on hockey.
I don't understand the need to immediately name a new captain nor force players to be "leaders".

Well he learned from Bo so I imagine he is comfortable talking about flavoured lattes and pillow fights. But I suppose it’s a start

Yes, I don’t think they need to, or should, name a captain at this point. Still lots of moving parts trying to deal with bad contracts.

Calgary can’t rebuild due to their horrific long term commitments

It's so funny to see Tkachuk leading his team in the playoffs and Calgary fans left cheering on their minor league team

Why does he need to talk? Make someone else captain and give him an A, let him lead with his play rather than his voice.

I don’t think it has anything to do with Horvat or the Sedins, he’s just a quiet kid. Cocky, but quiet.

Chucky, Bennett and Lomberg, Brian Burke must be having fits watching all that truculence.
Ps At least we can still cheer for our minor league team.

Yes of
Course. But faceoffs!

Yep. Which is totally fine.

Rueuby are you OK? #bellletstalk

Hurtful, you were a bully in school weren’t you?
- LeftCoaster

No, but I'm making up for lost time.

Hey Loady

What do you think the Canucks are going to do with Dermott? Will they walk away or do they sign him for 900K ? Is he done?

I look at Cancuks 7/8 Dman and ask is he a better option the Briesbois?
- VANTEL

Not sure. I'm OK with walking away and calling it the price we paid to get rid of Hamonic.

I still think it is a bad trade but do they try to salvage him as a depth player in a call up?

Don't you guys have 10 cents in cap space?

I'm gonna rue the day Podz cracks the top 6.

For someone that thinks the Canucks could care less about building through the draft, that 3rd for an established D should make you happy.
I’d be more pissed about giving up all those picks for Hronek.
