Guy Boucher is a VERY BIG fan of Artturi Lehkonen, almost as much as the love he had for Dominic Moore in his Tampa Bay Lightning days. Boucher's speech during the "On Jase" podcast about "Lehko" is very telling.
As Boucher wisely pointed out, "Lehko" is playing a very mature game, never getting caught on the wrong end of the stick. When he's not "certain", he's already ready to defend. He is quick and offers a crazy effort defensively, which is very rare in a player. He is exemplary.
True, he's not known as a great scorer, but this guy has the ingredients of a winner. If a large majority did that, the team would win more (healthy, we mean). Talented, top-notch guys like Bergeron, Kopitar, Toews and Crosby have that attitude, discipline and work ethic.
So Suzuki, who has a great talent, needs to install consistency in his attitude, discipline and work ethic, all elements Artturi Lehkonen possesses. But the #14 has the raw talent!
In short, the Habs need to build their team in Lehkonen's style: effort, hard work, speed and most importantly, COMMITMENT.
