Yet another lehky trade

im fairly sure its widely accepted that lehkonen = kravtsov
so you're implying that montembeault = georgiev + 2nd

plus with price & allen in between the pipes, georgiev doesnt fit

I haven't seen this combination before, we don't know how much gorton actually values his former project kravtsov, so it migth have a chance but i just don't see the goalie fit for MTL moving forward

Maybe it's widely accepted, but you have to realize, the habs aren't trading Lehkonen for the value of a 2nd.
He's more valuable to us than a kravtsov or a 2nd round pick. Not saying he's worth more, but i guarantee Habs would be glad to keep him if no team offers more.
I'm thinking Habs only trade him for 1st + 3rd.
Georgiev = 3rd + 3rd
Kravtsov = 2nd
2nd

2nd + 2nd + 3rd + 3rd is more than a 1st + 3rd.
Montembeault = 3rd.
3rds cancel each other.
2md + 2nd + 3rd = close to 1st + 3rd.
That's the value Habs woudl trade Lehkonen for.
We have zero obligation to trade him, habs have control of him since he's RFA. He's a coaches dream. I rather keep him than getting Vitali Kravstov thank you very much, even if it's the "accepted value"

Goalie for future?
But, I'd really like a samsonov + 2nd + hughes for lehkonen + Montembeault
Samsonov has more potential than georgiev

Doesn’t seem overly unrealistic. Maybe NYR gives up a lower pick
