Lehkonen isnt on the market so forget it
Bergevin didnt trade him for Burakovsky straight up, you expect Gaudreau for Lehkonen ? Won't happen !

No other bottom 6 players or Puljuiarvi

small sample size right now that looks like a miss by Bergevin. Burakovsky is on a 30 goal-65 point season pace, shows what happens when he is put in an true top 6 role (and no he isnt leaching points playing wiht MacKinnon)

You need to be good defensively to get ice time in MTL, Burakovsky isnt good defensively, Lehkonen is the second best forechecker and PK guy behind Danault. Sucks he doesnt score 20+ goals, but the rest of is game is perfect

Burakovsky isnt terrible defensively either. but he is playing on a line mainly with Kadri and Donskoi who do all the dirty assignment details for him. even if Burakovsky slows down and is a 20-25 goal 50 point guy. thats Drouins production level.
