Confirmed with Link: Artturi Lehkonen to Avs for Justin Barron and 2024 2nd

[redandyellowcametobe]

I thought the new site wasn’t able to be crashed? Can’t even hold up during a damn trade deadline. Took 30 mins to get on and still can’t get into some threads. Lame

Live thread seems broken. I wonder if this takes the Avs out of it for Copp? They still have their 2023 1st, and they could include JTC or any of Kaut or Bowers in that deal.

Dreger says Copp headed to NYR

 

[AllAboutAvs]

I was told Barron wouldn't be traded.

Fried saying the Avs don't want to trade Barron at the time he said it and them trading him now can both be right you know.

Guess so...

 

[jabubenice]

no disrespect to montreal but they are behaving like Barron is the 2nd coming of makar. yes he is a good prospect but that is about it..it is a loss for the avs but not a big one

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

My concern and it's a huge one with the Lehkonen trade is, are they bringing him in as a Nuke replacement next year as well?


Because that will f***ing suck if we lose Val.

 

[Gatorbait19]

Love the fact Joe got MTL to retain half his salary which helps us this year AND next year.

Lehkonen at $1.15m for 2 cup runs is incredible.

 

[Metallo]

I hope Lekhonen can be Nieminen for us because that was a lot of assets for him.

 

[Avsboy]

There must have been a rush of Avs fans on the boards

Can be... but isn't.

 

[Avsboy]

Anyone complaining is out to lunch. A fair deal, but exactly the right piece.

 

[JudoKoala]

Hey, cool, Lehkonen will now find great company in Bura and Compher as players who miss wide open f***ing nets and A+ chances all the time. Hey, put them on a line together and maybe one will be bound to finally hit it? And all it took was giving up a future superstar blue-liner!

Sorry, maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic/miserable, but I don't feel much optimism towards today's moves. Another second-round exit is so close I can taste it.

His contract expires end of this season, then hes RFA.

This is the last year of his contract

#3 goalie still?

Contract ends at the end of this season.

He's RFA this summer.

I don’t think Barron is anything too incredible I may be wrong but he looks like a bottom pairing D. None of our prospects were untouchable other than byram and Newhook. This improves our team today and we needed it

 

[Gumballhead]

I feel like JTC to Boston for DeBrusk makes too much sense at this juncture. Dollars and term are eerily similar, non?

 

[redacted]

Here's an unpopular fact... Lehk could also be Nuke insurance for the summer.

[forsbergavs32]

I tried to make an emergency trade thread since the live one is dead but it won’t let me

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

So guessing Copp to NYR and Rakell to Boston now. Domi to Carolina.
