Confirmed with Link: Artturi Lehkonen signed for 2 years (2.4M AAV)

[Zorba]

Habs have improved in the backup goal position and defense should be a bit tighter as well.Some new young forwards may make the team as well. There will still be changes made.I won't pass judgement until just before game one of the season to see what we potentially have.

Really?? So you’re ok with the no moves Bergevin made
Good for you. I’m not. This team is not very talented
You’re counting way to much on Poehling. Way too much

 

[ECWHSWI]

Can't recall but I prefer looking at the most recent season as a comparison.

the most recent, you mean the one where we missed the PO for the 3rd time in the last 4 seasons ??

 

[Adam Michaels]

And only had 10 pts in his last 41 games last year
He was just awful in the 2nd half

Yea, Lehkonen definitely needs to work on his consistency. He goes through long stretches of little to no production.

In his first two seasons, most of his production came in the second half.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

I think bergevin is done now

 

[TT1]

good

 

[NobleSix]

Good deal. Hopefully he has a big season.

 

[MolleSon]

Frankly, as of today July 11th, not sure we'll make playoffs. And I have the feeling MB is done for summer. Deception is not a strong word enough to describe my.... deception!

 

[Goldenhands]

Overpaid, soft and can't score.

He is not overpaid, he isnt soft and stuggle to score like its the case with most of the players in this league... He is an useful third liner with great engine and work ethic who can be moved up and down the line-up, that deal is excellent!

Lafreniere will be an excellent consolation prize...

Lots of excuses, and money, for a offensively challenged , once shining star.. .who is now relegated to a checking forward. Arturri Bustonen, deal with it.

Hope Kotkaniemi isn't taking notes from his countryman.

 

[Redux91]

20 goals baby

I can feel it

You know Lehkonen wont hurt you defensively and he isnt useless when he doesnt score since he competes hard on 200 ft., I understand you to be bored by the player since we already have a couple of players in the same mold, but Lehkonen remains a quality third line winger in this league who still is young and can play the PK...

 

[admiralcadillac]

Underpaid tough and can score

 

[Kriss E]

Were people expecting Lek to get a chunk of money or something?

 

[26Mats]

Underpaid tough and can score

Let's hope that last word goes from potential to actuality.

 

[26Mats]

20 goals baby

I can feel it

If he plays with Domi all year he can surely do it.

12/13 spot for habs next year

[BobInNiagara]

With these two latest signings how much cap space do the Habs have left?

Using last year's words we were supposed to be in the lot to draft Hughes eh?

[CheldishGamibno]

habs **** the bed last year

Sure but what I mean is we don't know, this league is changing fast these last couple of years, very hard to predict. Many over and underachievers.

Goaltending was going to be an upgrade no matter what. Niemi was close to 4 goals per game, which is just asinine no matter the circumstances.

Shaw is a significant loss though. He was a big contributor to the 96 point campaign, and I don't see who will be that guy this year.

The club has taken a step back overall, to this point anyways.

Shaw out.

Poehling in.

If he pans out, he might be as productive as Shaw, maybe even more.
