Armia going to arbitration twice makes me think...
He either feels like he doesn't get enough money for what he's worth from Habs and thinks he has more to give than what they're offering.
He doesn't have enough ice time/wants a new team to prove himself to be a top 6 guy. When you compare all the 4th liner 1M$/year vs. A 1.85M$ Armia it's kind of insulting for him tbh.
Hudon's days with the Habs is over. There is nothing we can do to salvage the situation, let another team try to give him a chance... We're just holding him back in our clusterf*** of AHL/NHL depth.
Leks and his 11 goals shouldn’t get more than 2 million

Did he though? I don't think he did but wouldn't surprise me.
It's weird how MB treats players that go to arbitration with him. Danault is the only one who stuck so far.
But he doesn't mind throwing bank at Price, which he shouldn't cause he's our only pillar player along with an older weber.
Kulak filed arb...Flames got rid of him.../
You can go down the list in NHL of player who filed arb.....lots end up dealt away.

I think he's just forcing MB to trade him to another team. He's been f***ed around with so many years in NHL/AHL back and forth and held back..
He doesn't have it to make it to the NHL imo but give him a chance. We're cluttered let him run

I would give Lehks a little more on a 3 year deal based on his potential. He’s still young and if he buried a few more of his many chances, he could be a consistent 20 goal guy.

I feel confident they (Lekhonen and Armia) gonna strike a deal before the arbitration meetings.

Guys if this is true it's important to know;
Armia and Lehkonen share the same european agent. I think he's the same european agent for Aho...
I read it somewhere in TVA or Montreal Gazette or something but can't remember all of the details. Could be a factor in this equation.

Negotiations over contracts for MB. That's all I got. Not the players just the agent is pressuring him.
I just wonder if this had anything to do with Aho getting the amazing term that what he wanted by using MB like the Canes said. The European agent might've done it. (100% speculation and I don't even remember if he has one).
The American agent said the opposite of the Canes. He said this was a very aggressive offer and a lot harder for them to swallow than they were saying.

I don't care much for Lehkonen but we might want to keep Finnish Armia around, he's Finnish and might develop a Finnish chemistry with Kotkaniemi (also Finnish).
