TheDriveFor25 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Great signing.. 2.4 per year for 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Higher cap hit than I expected. Thought he had less negotiating power than Armia, but the Habs haven't exactly been coy about how much they love Lehk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both Lehkonen and Armia have upside potential for 2019-20, at least in terms of scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huzer Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Two quick signings of RFAs after arbitration hearings were announced. I don't imagine a thread involving Hudon will be about a contract with the Habs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Does our boy crack 40 points in either year of this deal? I guess it depends on his linemates and how far he is down the depth chart. Very reliable player who will help any line he plays on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Unrelated to Lehkonen specifically but because of this deal, the Habs no longer have enough room under the NHL's offseason cap rules to go more than around $10.5 million on an offer sheet (and that amount will go down whenever Hudon signs). For anyone wanting Montreal to go the 4+ first-rounder route, that is no longer an option (unless they move out some players first). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Does anyone else think that a line of Lehkonen - Danault - Armia would be one of the NHL's toughest lines to play against? Lehkonen is absolutely relentless on the puck Danault is strong in both ends of the ice and has a very high hockey IQ Armia is a combination of the other 2 While none of them are stars, all three of them have some offensive skill as well. They would drive other teams top lines crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, all struggle scoring so dont present much of an offensive threat, none are very physical neither so d-men not real anxious with them forechecking. But, i do like all 3 players and all are defensively responsible and likely be a good checking line.

Commandant Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I think you are better off spreading them through the lineup than going all three on one line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Another solid deal for the Habs. Can't complain about bottom 6 guys getting bottom 6 money and term. Bravo Bergevin! This is good cap/contract management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neech Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 There's a decent chance that Lekky is the best forward we expose at the expansion draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
