The opposite of “betting on yourself”
Basically saying being a 3rd liner is my ceiling
KK news:
I’d rather move Armia or Byron. Or both.
There’s no rush to move Lekhonen, he’s an RFA. Unless, of course, the offer is too good to refuse. The price should be high.
I dont see the problem signing Lekhonen in his prime years up to 30. It won't be more than 4 million and it wont kill the team unless he becomes injured and suddenly his play drops of the table. F*ck that trading him for 2nd round pick that will amount to nothing.
Remember that lehkonen was always expected to perform defensively. We don't really know if he is a 20 goal guy. MSL is skewing things.
His shooting percentage is not at an unsustainable rate, and he started producing before MSL showed up. He’s been the 2nd best player after Suzuki.
I’d be tempted to keep him for a year, and move him before the UFA window. Only top teams will try to get him, which is a low first rd pick to start with. That’s not enough for this year because the Habs would also be trading an RFA year. He should be expensive.
If they are offered a bigly deal then, of course, you take it. I assume it would have to include a legit prospect.
Lehkonen is a very valuable player. Your penchant to look at offensive stats only is what blinds you to many players.
If he is a "nice" 3rd liner and no team is going to give you a lot for him why not just keep him?We arent trading away a 35 goal scorer , no team is giving you a bigly deal
If you net a good return with a good prospect as your headline , you trade him
If he is a "nice" 3rd liner and no team is going to give you a lot for him why not just keep him?
Poehling can be added to any trade.
sure , like 2/3 of this team25’s irrelevant, unfortunately.
