Lehkonen traded to Avs

[worm]

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

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

i misread it

he did have 31 points in 33 games in his post draft year (better than what Guhle did - 2 points)

 

[Alan C]

I am happy with the move. We can’t keep
overpaying 3rd liners and Lek will be overpaid on next contract. Like him though and wish him well.

Barron looked good in Halifax and has a year of development in the ahl. Our defence prospects pool just got better.

 

[CH1]

is barron actually good?

his numbers do not jump off the page

Scott Wheeler's take (The Athletic)

Did not expect to see Lehky go... But that's fantastic return.

Same.

Exactly , you cant overpay bottom 6 or 5-6 D man

Unless your team is highly skilled and ready to compete , they dont help your team

Here is a story on his draft year and clots

Justin Barron, Avs not worried about blood clots

It’s an unfortunate part of the game. Injuries or other maladies often come with the territory of playing a sport. What’s worse is when something like that happens to a young prospect in his draft year. It can be catastrophic. It can cause a prospective top-15 pick in the draft to slide further...

[xposbrad]

so this guy is our second best prospect now? Can’t complain about that, looks good to me.

 

[lecoqsportif]

So… building an bigly awesome D?

81: Justin Barron, Colorado Avalanche​

The Colorado Avalanche keep cranking out young defensemen, and Barron is another blueliner who should be part of their long-term plans. Drafted 25th overall in 2020, he made his professional debut following the QMJHL season with seven games for the Colorado Eagles. He had a goal and four points in his first taste of AHL action and has looked great in 2021-22 with 11 points in 18 games. Barron is great at leading the rush up the ice and has an excellent shot from the point. He will spend another season developing with the Eagles before making a serious push to play in Denver. – GB

Romanov, Barron, Guhle, Harris is a pretty good foundation for our future defense.

[lecoqsportif]

Need to sign Harris.

 

[hairnova]

Need to sign Harris.

He's signing.

 

[habs25th]

Need to sign Harris.

Rumor is the deal is in place as soon as his season is over. That's according to The Athletic I think. Some other posters reported it.

 

[hairnova]

I think Harris was going to sign anyway, Gorton/Hughes/MSL coming really confirmed it.

Can't believe I forgot about him, I blame Jack Todd.
