If Mtl signs Lehkonen

They really shouldn't be signing bottom 6 players to big contracts when they are this bad

So many bad contracts that were so predictable to be bad

1. They aren't as bad as their record indicates, the last 13 games have proved that.

2. Lehkonen is worth the price to keep and is capable of being a 2nd line winger and his recent play is also proving that.

My opinion is to resign Lehky and move some of the other contracts. Buffalo fans on here have been interested in taking Savard for instance. If we could make that trade then sign Lehky I would do that.

I'd rather get more term, possibly a 5-year deal at 3.5 if that's possible. I'm more and more liking the idea of an extension, especially since Joel Armia's buyout is cheap.

Lehkonen on a 6 years deal around 3,5 millions. I would be scared to gave him that money especially when in yesr 3-4-5-6 the salary cap will probably increase a lot. I do think that Lehkonen could turn into a good middle 6 winger. If he can just keep is shot pourcentage around 12-13 % and shot more on goal he would be a 20-25 goal scorer. He always been a guy who generated a lot of scoring chance despite playing at time with non NHL caliber centerman. I really do think that he could be a late bloomer and that we about to see the best of him.
