No

 

[Morgs]

Nope

 

[Deadly Dogma]

we have to shed some $$, we have no choice. Who else are we going to let go?

You don't shed cap by trading your best contracts. If Ilya Mihkeyev or Trevor Moore prove that they can play 15 minutes a night and penalty kill, Hyman could be traded.

Why would the Habs help out the Leafs?

 

[izzy]

neither does it

? We're cap compliant. Not only that, Ceci is the obvious person to trade.

ummmm cuz they would be getting the better player.

This trade does not help the Leafs in any way.

 

[OVO16]

Hell no

 

[Kotkaniemi15]

Ew

I truly fail to see how it helps Montreal too. Johnsson would be buried on the third line if Domi stay at C or even worst fourth line if Domi switch back to LW.

 

[The Great Weal]

Where do I sign?

That's disputable, Johnsson is a year older and played with much better centres last year.

Counter-offer: Lehkonen for Kapanen (a RH RW is a better fit in Montreal)

I would like to keep Kap, he can play on the PK and we need that. I went and looked back and I think Ceci is the easy choice here. There are a few vet soon to be ufa guys getting 3 or less that a team may trade to take a shot at Ceci turning it around

so you want a guy thats a year younger and had twice as many goals?

lol. yeah no. not for 800k cap space. get lost

no its not disputable. 20g/43pts in 73 games >>> 11g/31pts in 82 games. and a year younger doesnt matter, lehkonen was in his 3rd season while johnsson was a rookie

 

[Halla]

neither does it

the team getting the guy that just had a rookie season that blew away what the other guy has done in 3 years hell yes

Lehkonen's lack of points is definitely not due to quality of linemates. He's played with Domi/Galchenyuk/Pacioretty/Kotkaniemi and given many chances to succeed.

 

[Hostile Offer]

no its not disputable. 20g/43pts in 73 games >>> 11g/31pts in 82 games. and a year younger doesnt matter, lehkonen was in his 3rd season while johnsson was a rookie

I'm not disputing the numbers, all things considered Johnsson is likely the superior offensive player but it'd be great if you explained this.

Either way Lehkonen's value is most certainly not in his offensive game. The kid is a beast of a forechecker and two-way player.

thats why I want him, IMO he would be Hyman 2.0
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Hyman(with a weird accent)-Matthews-Nylander

 

[LeafGrief]

Absolutely f***ing not

 

[Archijerej]

No interest from the Habs.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

I will keep the younger and better player, thanks.
