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

[RECKLESS]

Lehky's cellies are awesome. He usually just hammers both hands down and that grinding roaring smile just matches the effort we see from him on the ice all the time. Almost never a casual celly.

 

[Tralfamadore]

One of the best trades in Avs history.

A Lehkonen's a Lehkonen, but that 2nd round pick could've been anything. It could've even been a Lehkonen!

We only have to wait 3-5 more years to find out what type of player that 2nd rounder turns into!

Mack is still wrong. I think Lehkonen is worth 8 1sts at most

This guy is a f***ing monster.

I didn't realize this until now but this trade thread might have one of the few positive posts that @nammerus has ever posted on this site.

This has to be up there for most lopsided trades in Avs history.

Obviously the Patrick Roy trade takes the cake. I don't think the Rob Blake trade was as one sided as some believe since Deadmarsh gave the Kings some really good hockey until succumbing to injuries. The Devon Toews trade may be up there.

Ray Bourque.

Lindros was a lopsided deal despite what those knuckle draggers in Philly will tell you.

I still would have preferred getting Copp over Lehkonen, but I do like Leks a lot so far.

Lol.

Can't forget that Aaron Miller gave the Kings 300+ games of solid defense as well. Blake was an incredible get, but we gave up a lot for him.

That 2024 2nd round pick ended up being used by LA Kings to pick a goalie, Carter George, at 57th overall.

Which was a stretch. Most people had Taro Tsujimoto at 57.

I saw "Confirmed" and "Artturi Lehkonen" in the thread title, and for a split second my bowels got ready to empty right there. Boo to thread necros, make a new one!

IMO

1) Roy
2) Bourque
3) Toews
4) Lehkonen
5) Konowalchuk
6) Fleury (only this low because he was a rental)

Blake wasn't that lopsided. Those were some important pieces they gave up, and Deader and Miller were both quite good for the Kings. Avs got the better end of the Forsberg deal, but Lindros was still a great player, and both were plagued with injuries.

Every time I see this thread bumped I remember this post. Good times

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

What about this one? Great list of prospects

This trade makes total sense given the makeup of the Avs forward prospects, the vast majority of which (except Bowers) are offensively-leaning and not that good defensively.

Olausson
Kaut
Ranta
Foudy
Beaucage
Weiss
Buyalski

That's just 2022. Damn that's a sad list

Jonlin to the shitlist. Don't necro
