Confirmed with Link: Artturi Lehkonen to Avs for Justin Barron and 2024 2nd
- Thread starter Bill Peckerskull
- Start date
You don't really, since most of the players they're trying to get rid of (Anderson, Dvorak) are ones the Avs either can't afford or don't want.
MAYBE you get Monahan as a rental with retention but I think he'd spontaneously combust the moment he entered Ball Arena.

Lehkonen is what JTC could be if JTC had even a modicum of game-to-game GAF.
Let’s not go that far. Lehkonen is one of the smartest players on the team and has a better shot. He’s just a better player. It’s not just effort level.
If the stars align Monahan could have a Derrick Brassard like impact at the deadline.

In all seriousness Monahan is so good this year that Montreal may end up re-upping him and that wasn't in their plan at all.

Some guys do better in losing environments when expectations are low and there's less pressure.
Matt Murton was a baseball player for the Cubs who hit like .320 and .290 something his first two years with the Cubs. But it was a soft .300 average. Then when the Cubs started winning, his averaged started to decline.

In the reg season and playoffs with the Avs: 57 GP, 21 G, 20 A, 41 P.
A cool 30 goals and 59 points pace over 82 games while also bringing all of the other very valuable things that don't show up in the boxscore. I always knew he was good and the analytics suggested he was even better than I thought but he has even surpassed all of that.

Dont think so.. You're saying, that you are better than Puljujärvi? Who doesnt seem to score with MacDavid and Draisatle...
Gonna go ahead and guess that English isn't your first language (no shame there at all). His post was a joke
I read between the lines and saw that
(And you're right)
Sadly, same thing cant be said about Puljujärvi ;P
I also said points not goals. I could touch the puck get creamed and Mac/Rants can pick it up skate with it and score. That's an assist right there. I've gotten a ton of those in my beer league games.

Was saying Boo-urns
My beer league team routinely wins scrimmages against NHL teams
In hockey we call that being Stempniak’d. Crazy how good he was for the terrible Blues but the moment the Leafs traded Steen (who emerged as quite the talent afterward) for him he became quite ordinary.
That said, there is no question of talent when it comes to Monahan. In his prime he was an elite top line center. The gigantic question is whether or not he can stay healthy.
Just because you guys play in a 5000 person school arena doesn't mean the Coyotes are a beer league team.
Ive skated in over 500 NHL games in my life and I can still walk. Granted it was during TV timeouts shoveling snow but still I've skated in those games.
