The 2022 Swedish draft twin to Kemell, Lekkerimäki has excellent vision, on-ice IQ that shows off his elite tools and smarts with or without the biscuit. Finds quiet ice, and is deadly when the chips are down, with deadtly scoring touch. Holds pucks drawing defenders, and is continuing to add battle level engagement on both ends. Lead his World U-18 team to a gold medal with 15 points in six games soon after echoing from a bout with mononucleosis. A lightweight goal scorer who sees time and muscle, but already possesses on of the most deadly shots in his draft class.
