Quoting: Ste_Catherine_Street
I don't see how the Habs can possibly protect him next summer. I'd prefer they protect Chariot over Lehky. I am also one of those who gets super frsutrated when he misses such good scoring opportunities.
Finally, what's wrong with eating beavers?
We can’t protect Chiarot instead of Lehkonen, because Chiarot is a D, and we’d need to expose 3 forwards to protect him. I’d protect:
F: Tatar, Danault, Gallagher, Kotkaniemi, Domi, Drouin, Lehkonen
D: Chiarot, Weber, Petry
G: Price
Exposed
F: Armia (UFA), Byron, Evans, Vejdemo
D: Mete, Juulsen, Fleury, Kulak
G: Lindgren (UFA)
And if you protected another D, you’d be forced to expose Lehkonen + 2 of the other forwards, which obviously makes no sense.
