Huge loss for the habs on the Lehkonnen trade!
December 19, 2024 at 2:56 AM
I would embrace losses for only this year and get another high draft choice. If Dach does not improve (usually takes a season after a significant injury) or gets injured again I would definitely trade for a 2nd line center before the start of the season next year
December 7, 2024 at 6:50 PM
No I haven't, but have watched Struble and we would be giving up a 5th or 6th defenseman plus a mid 1st rounder (cgy or fla) for a potential top 4 defenseman with size and offensive ability. The only way I would6make this trade if Hughes and Gorton find that he has attitude issues.
