Description

This is just an idea that popped into my head. A few MTL fans gave me mixed responses on what the returns might be for this deal, but I wanted to see what others thought. I think MTL would really benefit from Sjkei, who can play top pairing with Weber, while the team waits for its youth at that position to develop. Sjkei could be a staple in MTL blueline for the next 4 years. Moving Sjkei would create more cap room for NYR to re-sign players (most notably Deangelo). Lehkonen is a great top 9 defensive forward who can replace Fast's role in the event NYR were unable to re-sign him. Looking for thoughts on what else needs to be added to the deal.

Lehkonen is the player with Danault the coach like the most. He’s a middle six unbelievable good defensively and all around game with a major lack of finish... I’ll take my chance to keep him and might become a 20+ goals scorer

Speak on behalf of yourself, not Bergevin. But it's totally fair not to want to trade him.

Would also like to add that Brady has 2 less points than Lehkonen in 4 less games. Just thought Habs had enough middle 6 wingers and could address one of their needs. And I do not see the other middle 6 wingers you have as attractive of an asset.
