2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lekkerimaki got his first taste of the NHL last season, producing three goals, three assists and a minus-6 rating in 24 games. The 21-year-old will be looking to compete for a full-time spot in the lineup in training camp. He certainly has a shot, bringing electric goal-scoring capabilities to the wing that he displayed at the AHL level -- he scored 19 goals in 36 regular-season games with AHL Abbotsford last season. With some experience under his belt, and assuming he can grab a lineup spot out of camp, Lekkerimaki could be a great value pick towards the later portions of deeper drafts, even if he experiences some expected rookie growing pains.

Prospect
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Vancouver in May of 2023.
Out another 2-3 weeks
Lekkerimaki (undisclosed) is expected to miss another 2-3 weeks, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Lekkerimaki left Sunday's 4-3 win over Washington because of the injury and has missed Vancouver's past two games. He has a goal, three shots and five hits in four appearances in 2025-26. Lukas Reichel was acquired by Vancouver from Chicago on Friday in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick, and the 23-year-old Reichel should be a regular in the Canucks' lineup going forward. That acquisition will likely make it harder for Lekkerimaki to find a role with Vancouver once he's healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for NHL debut
Lekkerimaki will make his NHL debut versus the Flames on Tuesday, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lekkerimaki's promotion to the NHL came after Brock Boeser was ruled out indefinitely with an upper-body injury. The 20-year-old Lekkerimaki is poised to slide into a first-line role alongside J.T. Miller in addition to linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit. In seven minor-league contests with AHL Abbotsford this year, Lekkerimaki has racked up five goals and two assists, showing off the offensive upside that saw him taken 15th overall in the 2022 NHL Draft.
