As you know, Artturi Lehkonen is now a member of the Colorado Avalanche organization, after being traded yesterday.
Yes, it can be analyzed from the outside, but the fact remains that there are human beings and emotions behind trades, and the Avalanche have understood that.
There's also Artturi Lehkonen's father, Ismo, who wanted to send a message to the organization and CH fans, as reported by our colleagues at Fanadiens.com :
He also thanked one individual in particular, who has had a significant place in his son's career:
"I feel like I have to thank the Montreal Canadiens, the fans, the players, the media members, etc. Arsi came to Montreal as a young boy and now he is a man. This is the main thing I am proud of as a father. A special thanks to Tomas Plekanec who had a colossal role as a mentor for my son."
Really beautiful to see! And in addition, Tomas Plekanec responded to the message of Lehkonen's father :
"It was a pleasure to know Lehky! Certainly he deserves to win the Stanley Cup! You can be proud as a father and as a parent."
Great to see!
