The spirit of the trade was fine, get a solid prospect + a decent pick, I'm just a bit underwhelmed by Barron at the moment, but he's a young defenseman with good tools and ton of room to grow.
Tonight's lineup against the Devils.
AbsolutelyI have no issues with the Lek trade. You get what you can. The other option is lose him for nothing in off season or off new contract. Neither are good choices. Past regime would have shown him the money.
I am a little too, but this is his second year of pro hockey. Give him time, give him opportunities and let's see what he turns into. If he doesn't work out, shit happens. C'est la vie.The spirit of the trade was fine, get a solid prospect + a decent pick, I'm just a bit underwhelmed by Barron at the moment, but he's a young defenseman with good tools and ton of room to grow.
Could probably pawn him off for a 2nd or third if need be.I am a little too, but this is his second year of pro hockey. Give him time, give him opportunities and let's see what he turns into. If he doesn't work out, shit happens. C'est la vie.

Great for lek but never fall in love with a Fernando pasini.And no one could have foreseen his offensive explosion in the playoffs with the Avs. I assume there would have been a bigger market for him if so.
Are we judging Barron by his 5 games with the Habs? Because his 20 points in 43 games as a AHL rookie was decent.The spirit of the trade was fine, get a solid prospect + a decent pick, I'm just a bit underwhelmed by Barron at the moment, but he's a young defenseman with good tools and ton of room to grow.
I think he might score a few goals in this league.No game chatter? Caufield with the goal
I still like what I see in Beck. Not understanding the knock on him.

Good point Sal. I had it in my head he was a free agent. I'm still okay with it though.Lekhonen had 1-year RFA status left was not pending UFA last deadline
