Wowzer

 

[GEEMAN]

Fucken right ....way to go Hughes

But But But ...we cant trade this guy

Great move ....... plus getting even a ham sandwich for Kulak is a win

We went from having squat D who shoots right in the pipe to Logan and Barron

Return is Justin Barron and a 2024 second-round pick.

Awesome , they have no sentimental feelings for anyone

Just make the right moves and rebuild

 

[Stinky]

LOVE THIS! Love Justin Baron! Loved him in Halifax!

And a second in 2024?

This is a great deal.

 

[GrandWazoo]

A legit RHD prospect, which was much needed in the org, plus he can help the Rockets right away.

 

[Stinky]

Also stoked to cheer for a local dude on the Habs.

(rooting for Nathan this year)

I was hoping that Lehkonen would stay, but I admit this was a very good trade that plugs a big hole in the organization

[GGpX]

Holy shit.

Justin Barron's a damn good prospect.

I like Lehkonen and wouldn't have been sad if he had stayed, but I trust the Gorton/Hughes regime so I am OK with the move.
Also, FYI:

is barron actually good?

his numbers do not jump off the page

He'll never be a numbers guy. Just solid overall.

I haven't watched him lately, but I loved him in his draft year.
