I have no earthly idea why Montreal would consider this.

Ignoring the roles and responsibilities of both players and the fact that Virtanen has another year on his contract and Lehkonen doesn't (so they can just part with Lehkonen if they really wanted to), where the hell would Virtanen play for Montreal? He's a right shot winger. Montreal has Gallagher, Toffoli, Anderson, Armia, Perry and potentially Caufield as right shot wingers.

Virtanen is also Canadian.

Virtanen for Lehkonen

Both players are having poor year (4 pts each)

Are about the same age (lehkonen 25, Virtanen 24)

Both appear to be on the outs on their respective teams.
Your mixing up Virtanen with Juolevi. Jake is from ABBOTSFORD well Juolevi is the one ACTUALLY from Finland

Yeah, let's trade a bottom 6 winger who knows how to actually play defensively for one that has no cluw on how to do it, and has 2 years remaining on his contract.

Big fat no. We can just let Lehkhonen walk at the end of the year if we do not want to resign him. Virtanen is just bad.

Exactly what I thought, so the stupid title for the sake of being a stupid title other than just.

Habs-Nucks

Wasn't wrong he is a Finnish citizen.

Doesn't change the fact your trade offer is just ridiculous as the tittle tho...

We don't need this trade, plus Lehk is an excellent defensive fwd. I'd rather we keep him, I see him doing a great job in the playoffs.

Missing open nets and shit.

Virtanen isn't a stud by anyways means, but if he gives a f*** for 3 shifts he's more useful than Lehkonen now.

Can someone explain to me why Cap friendly as both Canadian and Finish?

Jake Virtanen - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

I'm aware he is born in BC. Also swapping troubled fins was just supposed to be a stupid title and has become the focus of the thread...
Apparently his NAME is Finnish or his ancestors or something but he indeed IS from Abbotsford. Must of been thinking of Juolevi

Wait, is he a Finn tho ? I think he speaks Finnish

Also, could he play for team Finland ? If yes, then he is a Finn

Pass from Vancouver, don't want an older player back who is undersized somewhat...we have enough of that on the team.

A pick or prospect is what I want back not a mid 20s player with a similar contract who plays a position we have 0 need for
