But at least the 2nd pick we received for Lehky have been put for advance at #21 and draft Michael Hage !!
Yeah all complaints about the Lehkonen trade are irrelevant as long as Hage pans out as a top6 forward. Add in any value from Carrier and its still a fair return for Lehkonen.
Carrier actually makes the Lehkonen trade look better.
Aside from picking in the first round. Barron has been very inconsistent and lost especially in the defensive zone.
Michael Hage and Alex Carrier for Lehkonen.

You sold a dead bird to a blind kid????
Addition by subtraction with Barron gone. Soft player, lots of talent, may well succeed in a place where there’s less spotlight. He certainly has a scoring touch when he’s not coughing the puck up and cowering from any form of physical contact. I think Nashville will be good for him, he won’t have 20 thousand rabid fans wanting his head there.
Carrier seems to be a steady on, young veteran that should solidify the right side. Not a big guy, but doesn’t shy from contact. An actual right hand shot defender that can skate and play in the top 4 was sorely needed. The fact that he’s a “pure Laine” is an added bonus for the l’Antichambre crew.
Seems like a good move for both teams.

I expect Struble plays on either side on the 3d pairing or as 7th. Until Savard is moved, he'll be a healthy scratch more often than not, if the D is otherwise healthy.
I think there's room to develop Struble as a complementary defender, a bit like Chiarot at his best.

Not quite, it's Hage and Carrier for Lehkonen and renting out Monahan (which got us the #26 pick)
--------------
I'm not against moving the possible longer-term potential in Barron for some short-term stability in Carrier, but overall this shows we didn't get a great return on Lehkonen. That's ok - when you trade for picks and prospects, you'll get hits and misses.
Kulak for Hutson is an insane win, if we look at it piece by piece, but I'd rather look at the rebuild as a whole.

It wasn’t a bad one, the gamble didn’t pay off but the value was right at the time. Lehlonen would’ve never produced here the way he is with Colorado

5ft11 Dman, will work really well for us in the playoffs and help in clearing the crease.
Helping to add much needed size to our blueline, especially with Hutson being such an integral part of our core for the next decade+
Oh, and most importantly, he's un petit gars de chez nous. No doubt Chantal is super pleased with this acquisition.
We turned 5ft11 Lehkonen into a 5ft11 Dman with much less skill who is just about the same age.
This is another Kent Hughes masterclass.
Habs fans, rejoice!
