Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?
Lekkerimaki’s talent is undeniable. He’s dynamic in control and threatening from anywhere in the offensive zone. He can beat you in an instant with a quick catch-and-release or curl-and-drag shot, or hang onto pucks and make things happen himself. He has a knack for hitting holes in the net, frequently beating goalies low-blocker and five-hole. He has A-level hands, a deceptive release, a lethal one-timer and a slyness to his game that allows him to get to spots to score with and without the puck. He has slowly become more threatening on a consistent basis at five-on-five against men, coming and going less in games, fading to the perimeter in control less and making sure he’s getting touches by keeping his feet moving more and working to involve himself in the play more. He has learned to play with more intention off the puck and on the forecheck and has found more consistency in his approach and consequently his game.
