You guys are acting like Lehkonen is garbage.
Am I missing something here? I get Girard is a good defenseman as well. But you guys are writing off Lehkonen as a 4th liner.
The guy wears the “A” in Montreal. He is a relied upon main PKer. Is on track to put up good offensive numbers this season topping his career high.
I feel it’s not bad like you guys are posting. Lehkonen brings a bit of everything to the table. He has high value as well.

Nothing wrong with Lehkonen. But Girard is wayyy more valuableYou guys are acting like Lehkonen is garbage.

Agreed. I also think he's a Claude favorite and is really unlikely to be moved.Nothing wrong with Lehkonen. But Girard is wayyy more valuable
Artturi Lehkonen
Mike Reilly
2nd round pick
Samuel Girard
Colin Wilson
Samuel Girard is overrated and has poor underlying numbers. We don't want anyone from Colorado's losing streak?
Seriously though, he's 20 and is already a top 4 guy I believe. Great potential to be a 3/4, wouldn't be surprised if he's a 1/2. I'm not sold on him being a top pairing guy in the future but it has been almost a year since I watched him last and I could very likely be 100 percent wrong.
As far as fits go, I don't think he's it for Montreal. His price is high and something about him seems that he just is a better fit with Colorado (not knocking him, he just seems like a perfect fit for that team, he seems like he's meant to be a core player there).
My gut would tell MB to stay away from this trade just because cost and that I prefer we find someone a couple years further along in their development (Habs competing in 2-3 years would have Girard still in his pre prime age )

Girard has been playing top pairing all year this year with overall strong underlying numbers.
If MTL is going to make a trade the most likely option would be for Tyson Barrie for a futures type of package. Given the 5 million picks they just had and Barrie very likely to be moved in the next few months that one is at least realistic.
Girard-JohnsonReally? What's Colorado's d pairings been lately?
Edit: Just curious
Girard-Johnson
Cole-Barrie
Graves/Nemeth-Zadorov
Honestly their defense isn't that bad. No #1 guy which can be rough but otherwise pretty well rounded. It's their goaltending and scoring depth that are both a kick in the teeth.Dang, I can see why they are struggling so much lately.

Yah because none of those guys can play goalie.Dang, I can see why they are struggling so much lately.
