My latest for @CanucksArmy Jonathan Lekkerimäki is primed for his first full season in North America. But will it be in the AHL or NHL? I broke down his end-of-season AHL and SHL tape, examined Tocchet's demands for roster players & applied that lens.

The #Canucks (big name prospects) Nils Höglander and Vasili Podkolzin had good tournaments. Both came away with medals which is a great achievement-even if it wasn’t what they wanted. There were some ups and downs that I wanted to go through: #WorldJuniors2020

I wouldn’t sleep on #Canucks prospect, Daimon Gardner. His tracked data from this past season is wild. xA1/60: measures the likelihood of a players pass resulting in a shot becoming a goal. The 6-foot-4 centre is off to @ClarksonMHockey this upcoming season.

Jonathan Lekkerimäki scores his second of the game, 5-on-5. He files in off the right flank, takes the pass with limited pressure, & beats the Latvian goaltender with a five-hole placement. He's had a tonne of shot attempts in this one. #Canucks 🎥 @TSN_Sports

This is #Canucks prospect Vasily Podkolzin in his first VHL game on September 16th. Podkolzin's ice time skyrocketed hitting 19:38. He continued to play relentless and had 4 shots in the game. Podkolzin was deployed on the PP and PK in the game. Two parts for today: Part 1/2 👇

Jonathan Lekkerimäki ends game four of the playoffs with 4 assists. He now has 13 points in 12 games these playoffs (4G - 9A). A big performance for the 18-year-old who has found his game in the postseason. He only scored 9P in the entire regular season before inj. #Canucks

#Canucks Tom Willander records his second assist of the game, again off a breakout pass. After working past pressure, he finds Macklin Celebrini (who does an incredible job on the pass reception), and it leads to a Quinn Hutson goal. Willander now has 5 points in 9 games.

Akito Hirose is showing so well. That decision to join the rush was very smart — placing the puck into empty space was as well. No panic on retrievals, snapping breakouts in-motion. So much to like about his game and his hockey sense in particular. #Canucks

Finally, here is @Canucks prospect Nils Hoglander playing against the Czech Republic. The biggest thing to take away from Hoglander's game is his confidence with the puck, his controlled zone entries, and his playmaking ability. Hoglander is just fun to watch.

#Canucks Kirill Kudryavtsev is just so smooth on his retrievals. First, he scans the path of Matthew Poitras (BOS). Then he manipulates with his feet. Poitras (who is an incredible forechecker) doesn't bite as hard as most, but Kudryavtsev still escapes off his backhand.

Lekkerimäki has been quiet again but this shift has been his best of the game (so far) against CZE. Finds a seam to a downhill attacking teammate, acts as a net-front decoy (stick not set though), and a tricky high slot shot that creates a big rebound. #Canucks 📹 @TSN_Sports

Tom Willander scored a goal and a primary assist in his first NCAA game. In a rather chaotic game, he wasn’t on the ice for a goal against. Look, sample sizes certainly matter, but he showed well, running shotgun with Aiden Celebrini. #Canucks More:
