I liked what I saw from him and hope CJ sees fit to use him in top 6 more often.

20/20 or 25/15 is what I expect, and I'd be happy.

I think it will come down to if MB decides to pull the trigger on a veteran forward before the season opens - either via trade or someone from a PTO type scenario that is free'd up by another team. At that point, Lekhonen will be back on the 3rd line.

I'd still rather see Lekhonen / Drouin / Galchenyuk as a line and then Patches / Danault / Gallagher to start the season as the top six arrangement, if no roster changes are made.

Patch-Drouin-Lehko
Galchenyuk-Danault-Gallagher

That's what they are trying at camp today

Looks like he will get his chance

IF Lehkonen had that role, and got to stay there, this season he could see more than a 15 pt jump. But, I think Drouin will be with Patch and Gallagher/Galchenyuk to start. 2nd line will be a better, easier progression for Artturi though. IMO anyways.

I hope so too. I liked his game last year and he can shoot. Don't want to see him rushed, but also don't want to see him held back.

Who is this "braidan" character, and why does he think he can just waltz in here, give his opinion, and be taken seriously?

I agree. I think second pair opposing D is better at this stage than first pair opposition.

Chucky is going to be a winger. Most likely a very, very good one.
