Of course, it's the fans fault🙄

Or maybe we are know the trade market better and tell less BS.


The fan part was clearly a joke. I do like Lehkonen, but I still hate the trade. Avs are blowing through high-end RHD prospects like they're easy to come by. Trade one of Barron or Helleson, but not both.

Lehkonen should be a great fit but Barron + 2nd is too much


He's an RFA after this season, he could honestly be traded for a second making the deal just barron for him.

Everyone who said Lek wouldn't get a 1st is technically correct.
Everyone who said Lek would get a first plus is also kinda correct.
Everyone wins?

First of all Lehky you will be missed, class act.

Second, yes MTL got a good return so good on Gorton and Hughes but he’s not just a rental. Sakic will resign him. Amazing PK player, never takes a shift off and was probably the most well liked guy in the locker room his whole time in MTL. Steep price yes, but for a real contender like the Avs, worth it.

Way to go capfriendly website, place the Justin Barron, Joshua Brown and Justin Braun trades all right beside each other.

I'm not confused at all.

COL wins the trade this year, it’s impossible for them to not. But long term, MTL just crushed this. Barron by himself makes it a win. But for it to really be fair long term COL needs to win the cup and re-sign Lehkonen.

So Sakic decided to overpay on Lehkonen, it was the (shoot me for saying this) Avs Coleman move. Sakic is obviously confident that Makar, Toews, Byram and Girard are the Avs top 4 for the foreseeable future and he could over spend. Is he going to be worth the over spend, we shall see.

He is worth it for sure he's always in the right places, very smart both with and without the puck, is great defensively and is always an SHG Threat. He will be frustrating to watch though because while he scores around 12 goals a year, I always joked that if he could learn to either Hit the net or Miss the goalie he would win the rocket (reminder that's a joke), he's a great player and we're gonna miss him.

Hans fans demanding a first for AL, can’t be upset with this, right?

This is an excellent return, not that anyone predicted this, despite being told they were wrong or anything. Same as it ever was…

I crunched his numbers, he is an elite bottom 6 player. He doesn’t score enough to warrant a First, despite anyone’s opinion, and despite his RFA status and despite Montreal’s position. Montreal also has to clear cap space next season. If they can get a 2nd and a prospect, that would be an excellent haul for him.

Keep doing AGMs trashtalking Habs fans, but Chiarot got a 1st +, Kulak a 2nd and Lehky a 1st+, like we said all along.

Ghule-Barron
Romanov-Mailloux
Strubble-Harris

Hey haters! I kept telling you lehky would get 1st + 3rd, but guess what? He got more! A close to nhl RHD prospect + 2nd rounder. I'm totally pleased. Amazing job by hughes and Gorton, because pretty much anything less than this, we would've kept lehkonen, and that was the plan, till 1pm. When the avs offered this.
Fantastic 👍
Now, I LOVE lehky, I personally still think he has 20 goal potential. He is 1of the best defensive forwards in the league. A swill army knife.
Thank you lehky for your amazing 6 years in MTL, and the best hockey moment in my life came when lehky scored in game 6 vs Vegas.
Hope you get your cup in Colorado. Go avs!
@richard88 I told you the WHOLE time

I mean if Colorado loses in the 1st and Barron looks game while playing those NHL games, Montreal can win this year
