i think we get someone SLIGHTLY better than Hajek though. great team overall, would be weird to see miller back in NY.

Red Wings accept. But Greiss only plays well AGAINST the Rangers. 😁

maybe u get like hunter skinner too. idk there's a lot of possibilities for lekkhonen. do teams view him as a coleman type guy? or just an above average 3rd liner. who knows.

if u cant beat em. get em.

Fair value on the Miller trade. Would get beat if another team offered a similar package with a more defensive RD prospect but that would have a very good chance of being accepted

u think robertson would push it better than lundkvist?

Lundkvist might be the only RHD prospect with top 4 potential available in the entire league. The last prospect like that who got traded was Boqvist vs Jones

Lehkonen is a 3rd liner, but a good one. He gets a better return.

I really think MTL only deals Lehkonen if a 1st rd pick is involved, or the prospect is a stud.

I like Lehkonen, but I don’t think teams give up a stud for him, so I’ll circle back to my initial thought of the Habs wanting a 1st.

They don’t “have” to trade Lehkonen, because he’s an RFA this summer.

Goodrow was a fourth liner a got a first and Coleman a 3rd liner got a first and a B+ prospect… Lekhonen could and will get something like that… I think Lekhonen is better than Goodrow and worse than Coleman so that would mean he’d bring more than a first but slightly less than a first and a B+ prospect. My offer would be a 1st and a prospect like Cuylle/Korczak/Barron. I think this is a fair offer for a guy who can do anything and is still under team control for a year

2 centers you named. Buch got a 2nd, Taylor hall got a 2nd.

louder for the ppl in the back please

Nah Lundkvist is good. I think that probably gets accepted but hypothetically if another team REALLY wanted Miller they could outbid. But that is a fair deal

Agreed

Taylor Hall is useless when he doesn’t score and that year he wasn’t doing anything (nobody wanted him) and Buchnevich was an off season deal that have nothing to do with a TDL deal… Yes it was a steal tho,Lekhonen would never cost a first in the offseason but teams tends to overpay at the TDL especially for a two-way bottom 6 player who’s a 5-tool player (Coleman,Goodrow,Foligno)… So yeah Lekhonen will probably cost at the very least a 1st rounder and if there’s a bidding war then probably a good enough prospect.If nobody pays the price then too bad Montreal would love to keep Lekhy

This is more than enough for a year and a half of Miller

People are forgetting one of the biggest features of Coleman/Goodrow was that they came with an extra year at a very affordable price. Hall was a pending UFA and the Buchnevich trade was just stupid cause everybody and their dog knew he could’ve gotten more, just drury prioritized getting grit in the bottom six. The only way Lehkonen gets traded is if it’s a Coleman/goodrow-esque return. If not they’re perfectly fine holding onto him.

Montreal has 12 picks already this year and like 7-10 LHD prospects many better than Hajek. Might as well just go Lundkvist for Lehkonen 1 for 1 and drop all the pussyfooting around offering quantity over quality. If you want Lehkonen you are going to have to convince Montreal to move him. Which means offering something Montreal wants/needs and not just more of the same.

Fine, lundqvist + kravtsov for lehky + 3rd

Is there a single person who considered either the Hall or Buchnevich trades fair value though?

Buffalo was handcuffed with a NMC.
Who knows what Drury was thinking, other than moar grit for less money.

Five pieces for Miller...LOL. Good luck with that.

Toffoli didn’t went for an overpay and we could have kept him … maybe Lehkonen goes for a 2nd, who knows at this point

we get him for a year and a half. i think at this point it's pretty clear nyr prefers schneider to lundkvist. chytil isn't producing for us but has shown flashes of talent, he's prob the biggest loss for nyr. kravtsovs career in ny is done no matter what. that 1st will be a late round pick and we have a crowded roster and a crowded prospect pool. and a next year second big deal.

Way overpay

This is true.
