habs_93 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 #62 Artturi Lehkonen @arsilehkonen Position: Left Wing Shoots: Left Birthplace: Piikkiö, FIN Birth date: 4 July 1995 Age: 21 Height: 6' 0" Weight: 182 lbs Drafted by: Montréal Draft Year: 2013 Round 2 (55th Overall) Archive 2016-17 Stats | NHL.com | Contract Info OwnThePuck HERO Chart (http://ownthepuck.blogspot.com): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maas_art Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 So he's been exclusively a winger in Montreal but he did play centre at times in Sweden. If MB cant land a top 2 centre, is it worth trying Lehkonen there?

ramcharger440 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 I really like him as a player and i am sure he will do ok wherever they play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like him too... but it must puzzle Galchenyuk, that after one good year, he has a defacto top six spot. BTW I'm not convinced he has had such a great t-camp to-date and is deserving of his current spot. Galchenyuk was not given much of a sniff there... I know I'm puzzled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm puzzled I am not i love Chucky's talent but he has put zero effort in during training camp or really at the end of last season he even almost got his head torn of making a blind pass to the other team last night. he looks like he wants a trade and frankly he may deserve one with all the shuffling he has had to put up with but at the end of the day he is not helping himself either.

If we're referring to Galchenyuk I totally agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennifer_rocket Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I was impressed with what I saw of his performance last night. I wonder if the transition to first line RW might be permanent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean by that token we should try Drouin at #1LD next to Weber since he plays the point on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agreed that he could be tried there but considering they arent even trying him in positions he's actually had success in (C and top 6 LW) I think its unlikely they will try him in a position he hasnt played outside of the man-advantage. For now, Gallagher and Lehkonen, rightly or wrongly, are the 2 guys I can see Julien using at #1 RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer_rocket Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Like Hudon, it was really nice to see Lehkonen bust the slump last night. Hopefully we'll see some consistent 'puck in net' from our young players moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
