That is a heavy heavy price to pay. Exactly what the bottom six needed, but now extending Manson becomes pretty important.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Awesome! Good value and not a rental.

 

[Shane Diesel]

Fire Sakic!

 

[Ceremony]

It feels like a lot to give up but he seems to be worth it.

 

[niwotsblessing]

This trade is in honor of all the negative folks on the board who don't trust Joe Sakic.

We want the Cup!

 

[Joe Sakic]

These trades are killing me a bit.

We're giving up so much for 3rd line forwards and bottom pair defenseman.

 

[henchman21]

I was told Barron wouldn't be traded.

 

[Psycho Mantis]

I liked Barron. But I love this addition to the team.

 

[dmac7719]

Sakic and 2nd rd picks

 

[CoachBadkitten]

amazing

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Love it, gonna be a warrior in the playoffs

Sad to lose Barron though, I liked what we brought as a prospect but it's clear that Behrens is their guy on D.

 

[RECKLESS]

All for it!! Let's goooooooo!!

 

[EscapedGoat]

But I thought Sakic sucks and refuses to trade at the deadline?

Can't wait for all the regular negative posters to switch from complaining that Sakic doesn't go all in to complaining that he gave up too much.

 

[Richard88]

YES!!!!!!! Sakic you beautiful man. I LOVE this trade. High price for sure but who cares, we're gonna win a cup.

I'll post an encyclopedia of analytics once this site recovers from Montreal fans crashing the boards lol

 

[Shinjuku Calling]

f*** them picks and prospects. Let's gooo

 

[The Merchant]

WOW that is expensive, but I don't care LET'S f***ING GOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

[Ararana]

Pretty damn excited to see Lehkonen and Newhook together. Both very hard working skilled players.

Not at all excited to learn how to spell this f***ers name...

 

[LOFIN]

Losing Barron sucks but Lehkonen is RFA so there's that. As for the player, I love Lehkonen. Solid 3rd/4th liner, can probably play in the 2nd in case of an emmergency. Good buddies with Rantanen as well...

[Richard Doll]

A lot to pay for a a guy who will be a third liner, but he is young and is not a rental, and basically allows you to have 2 Nukes in your middle 6.

 

[Theodore450]

Trash, I would have kept leky

 

[Theodore450]

Trash, I would have kept leky

 

[Muffin]

Big price to pay but he's not a rental, he's an RFA and will be here for years.

Now you just sealed Behrens being traded.
