The Avs are currently working on a trade and we have the details: Kent Hughes and the Canadiens could possibly offload a player
In the most recent episode of his podcast, insider Elliotte Friedman shared important information involving former Montreal Canadiens forward Artturi Lehkonen. It doesn't look good.
Friedman revealed that Lehkonen's injury is unfortunately more serious than anticipated.
As a result, the Colorado Avalanche are very active in the trade market to fill this loss. They are working to finalize a trade.
«Friedman on 32TP mentions it looks like Lehkonen's injury is pretty significant and the Avalanche are in the market to add some depth scoring.» - NHL Watcher
So, don't be surprised if the Avalanche announces an acquisition soon.
Could a player like Joel Armia be of temporary interest to them? Stay tuned, but it is known that Kent Hughes and the Avalanche's GM have a very good business relationship.
Lehkonen, 28 years old, has accumulated 8 points in 12 games this season in Colorado. (51 points in 64 games last season) The Canadiens' 2nd round pick in 2013 earns $4.5 million per year until 2027.
