Value of: Artturi Lehkonen

[Stubu]

I don't know if Lehkonen from Habs is on the trading block. But if he is, what would you offer?

And why? Where does he fit in, how come?

I'm more interested in where he coud fit and why, than in the return, but of course we want picks and prospects and the Habs can't take any more cap dumps.

Who wants Lehkonen? Someone said 30 teams might. Weird. But he's solid.

no idea why the habs would deal him. Terrific 5 on 5 and on the PK, a Swiss army knife who can play up and down the lineup, he's only 26 and fits into a broader rebuild - and won't cost a whole lot to resign. I assume it's part of that recurring HF line: can be had for an overpayment. I personally wouldn't deal him for a 2nd. He was a 2nd rounder and no guarantee that pic amounts to anything. Imo he's part of the habs rebuild - assuming he's willing to stick around

cap hell is the reason

 

[Price is Wright]

2nd round pick + B prospect

 

[bigbabybuda]

Id like him on the Leafs a lot. Ive mentioned before id give a 2nd and a 3rd for him or a second and a B-C prospect. There are 5 guys I wouldnt include in the prospects. Hes a very nice depth addition for a team with cup aspirations but not the guy id blow my best trading chips for.

Ya at his age and how he plays the i'm happy keeping him than giving him away for a 2nd rd pick. But if the right offer comes in than ?

Maybe he’s too old for rebuild and/or has asked to be moved because he won’t sign there?

capfriendly has them at the top of the list and they stink

that’s cap hell . Move out bodies and start the rebuild

they just removed 4+ mill and guys like petry and chiarot are soon gone. Weber is not their problem if he retires etc..
habs are not a bottom feeder franchise; they're not moving everyone for sake of trades, hughes said as much today.

maybe. maybe not

maybe. maybe not

Mäkinen who is close friends with his father(works with him) hinted about it in their latest podcast.
That he’ll be moved

Good chance yes but people won't like the price attach to him.

 

[Archijerej]

2nd round pick + B prospect

If he was a rental, that would be the price.

ok. guess we'll see

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Would only trade Lehkonen for a 1st round pick or its equivalent

 

[KevinRedkey]

2nd round pick + B prospect

So basically two 2nds

I dont see any team coughing that up. I think whatever is offered will be less than what he's worth to the Habs, and therefore he won't be traded.

many are overpaid so a guy like Lehkonen is an easy sell

Not happening. Sure you get his LTIR cap space, but not in the off season, this doesn't allow for accrued daily cap space, etc., etc. But regardless, I don't see any reason for Weber to retire, when he can sit it out and make the entirety of his contract.

Its been reported that he's available. I don't think its for an overpayment. The expected cost is anywhere from the Janmark rental price (2nd + 3rd or equivalent) to the Coleman trade price (1st + recent late 1st round pick with limited upside). I suspect the return, if he is traded, will be somewhere in the middle (a late 1st or the equivalent).

They are. The bodies that will move will depend on getting the returns they're looking for.

 

[Agalloch]

Same. I would trade Drouin, Hoffman and Dvorak before him.

 

[sansabri]

biggest mistake this team could do is go scorched earth. we're gonna need a few vets to mentor the kids

 

[habsterr]

Two 2nd round picks is about fair value.

Weber and Pricd on LTIR say hello.

Easy sell of Weber to Arizona considering his salary vs cap hit. And then there's the whole NSH recapture too. Habs have zero cap problems whatsoever

so If I offer Lecky for 1/2 price then the offers will drop to a 6th rounder so my demand should start at 2 1st rounders and 2 2nd rounders in 2022. that way real offers should start at a first rounder + 4th rounder. thats the logic.
