Lehki!!!!! What a legend !

 

[RC51]

congrats to the avs, glad for lehki. Habs were forced to rebuild and sell off lehki.
Glad he went to the avs. Last year Tampa beat my habs being 20mil over the cap (loophole)
so THANK YOU AVS to have given Tampa The bitter taste of defeat. I think the hockey GODS have balanced the league back to " you got beat by a better team when the playing field is dead even"

*NHL history.

When has trade line acquisition clinched the both last two series before?

 

[BLONG7]

Congrats to Lekky and the Avs, and the fans!!!
Great job guys, knocking off the Bolts!!

This was a good trade for Avs - even if Barron turns out great player. We got SC to show for it and thats all that matters.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Great trade. The Avs should spend big at the deadline every season until they won't ice a contender. It's no coincidence they lifted the cup after the biggest deadline under Sakic.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Congratulations!

Lehkonen scores the SCF series winning goal. A cherished memory forever. Congrats!

i'm so elated for lehkonen, and the rest fo the avs.

Yeah, if you win Stanley Cup you can't really have regrets because even if he would become the best player in NHL, it doesn't guarantee a Stanley Cup.

If Sakic knew that Lehki would score SC GWG + GWG in conf finals, he would have traded 3 Barrons if he could.

Certainly has a nice ring to it.

It's stupid how many trades Sakic has made that could be argued as his best.

Toews was a steal
Duchene was a haul
Lehkonen literally won us a cup

If Sakic knew that Lehki would score SC GWG + GWG in conf finals, he would have traded 3 Barrons if he could.

If one Barron gets you one Lehkonen, wouldn't it make more sense to use 3 Barrons to get 3 Lehkonens?

 

[Joe Sakic]

Dude, this guy is so crazy.

Scored the Stanley Cup WINNING goal. Wow. What a player.

I am glad Lehki worked out for the avs. He did help you win a cup. now PAY HIM. Dont F him, pay him. 6x 5.5 is about right. Some of you have said 4-4.5 - he deserves that 5.5 per anything less and your f-ing him.

 

[Pokecheque]

Literally every pickup Sakic made at the deadline played a role in winning this Cup. Can't ask for anything more than that.

It was about time, I thought such moves could have had the same results one year ago

Perhaps, in hindsight, we can say that Joe knew something we didn't. Either he didn't feel that was the year, or the right pieces weren't available. Either way, he made up for that this year and it paid off.

I don't think very Avs posters are going to slag on Sakic at the TDL (probably won't be the GM) going forward.
