The man.

The legend.

I was a pretty big Barron fan. I still think he's got lots of potential.

Nice to know no matter what happens this trade was a massive win. It obviously was earlier given how Lehky was playing for the entire playoff run .. but this really cements it. We don't win the cup without him.

Lekky had 4 GWGs these playoffs... 25% was Lekky.... so clutch

That's pretty unbelievable.

Well worth, well worth, what we gave up for him.

One of the best trade deadline acquisitions in Avs history. It was not just the GWGs. His overall offensive and defensive impact on the ice was great. @Richard88 called it back then.

That’s pretty awesome. Even more impressive is that he had the series clinching goal in the conference final and in the Stanley cup final. When was the last time anyone contributed two such goals? And to boost, those were one goal games.

I know Flames’ Gelinas almost pulled an unbeatable scg streak in 2004, but I wonder were Lehkonen’s two winners would rank him.

If he's not the #1 selling jersey by tomorrow I'm going to kms

One of the final pieces from Sakic, super important.

 

[HockeyFan100]

Hope he's an Av for a long time along with Nuke.

 

[JWK]

I wonder if Habs' fans realize Barron is gonna be a bust.

Just because he was drafted in the first round of the even year by us. Every even year first round pick in the 2010's became busts while all the odd year 1st round draft pick in the 2010's became great.

Sorry guys, should've asked for Olausson instead

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Anyone that revisits this thread to bitch and moan about giving up what would have been, at his very best, our 4th best defenseman for our stanley cup winning goal scorer, we see you and we are not impressed. Give it up.
