Which of these 4 forwards could be a solid addition for the rest of season?
and who would be your top choice?
Arturri Lehkonen - LW/RW (COL)
Currently listed on the top line with Nathan Mackinnon and Miko Rantanen and first Power Play according to LWL.
Hasnt done a lot previously, but hes set up great if he stays on that top line and power play.
Dual position eligibility.
Nico Hirschier - C (NJ)
First line Center between Thomas Tatar and Jesper Bratt, top power play unit.
60 points (21G, 39A) in 70 games last year.
Just reported that he has a hamstring strain and will likely miss the rest of the preseason, unsure if he will be ready for the season opener.
Nick Suzuki - C (MON)
First line Center between Cole Caufield and Mike Hoffman, top power play unit.
61 points (21G, 40A) in 82 games last year, but Montreal's offense really kicked it up a notch when St. Louis took over. Could be in for even more with a full year of St. Louis running things, especially if Caufield takes a step forward.
Hes skating now and will be back with the team next week. I believe he is expected to be ready for the start of the season.
Mikael Granlund - C (NSH)
Top line with Filip Forsberg and Matt Duchene and top power play.
64 points (11G, 53A) in 80 games last year.
A few less shots and face offs than the other 2 Centers, but the rest of the peripherals are pretty much the same.
