2019 Montreal Canadiens Top 25 Under 25: #8 Artturi Lehkonen

“I don’t think he quite has Collberg’s wrist shot, which is a thing of beauty. I think Lehkonen might be better at everything else though, but is more fragile.”

“Lehkonen seems like very high risk. The size, the injury history, the Finnish element, and the fact that he looked completely underwhelmed by being drafted to Montreal.”

“Lekhonen is intriguing though. A good kind of pick at 55.”

The enthusiasm was rather tempered back in 2013 when Artturi Lehkonen’s name was announced at the NHL draft. Fast forward to 2019, and Lehkonen is an NHL regular, preparing for his fourth season with the bleu, blanc, et rouge.
