LATEST | Canucks' prospect pool greatly represented in rankings: Three prospects identified

"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's got a knack for hitting holes in the net, frequently beating goalies low-blocker and five-hole. He's got 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's going to have clear power-play upside at the next level because of all of those things. He slowly has 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 is just playing with more intention off the puck and on the forecheck and has found more consistency in his approach and consequently his game." Wheeler said in his profile on Lekkerimaki.

"One of the better-skating D prospects in hockey, Willander was a beast for the Swedish under-18 team and Rogle's junior team last year and has driven strong two-way results for the Terriers as a freshman and for the Swedish under-20 team this year. He's a strong-in-all-three-zones defenseman who plays a confident and decisive defensive game that uses his beautiful, balanced skating to swallow up opposing carriers and then push forward or fall back onto his heels and outlet the puck." Wheeler said.

"There's a lot about Podkolzin's game that has typically drawn evaluators to him: His power and strength over his feet. His good hands through and under sticks or in tight. His knack for seeing the first play and then executing it, whether that's attacking the slot when it's available or knifing through coverage with surprising finesse for a heavyset player. His sneaky passing ability when seams open in coverage. His tenacious and physical disposition." Wheeler said.
