Joe Sakic has been an important piece in all three championships in the history of the Colorado Avalanche club.
Twice the man led Avsin To win the Stanley Cup as captain. For the third time, he lifted the trophy as the team’s general manager.
Sakic has masterfully built his team. This year’s championship team is assembled with perfectly successful booking innings and excellent player deals.
Artturi Lehkonen is Sakic’s latest button hit.
Sakic acquired Lehkonen from the Montreal Canadiens at the beginning of the year on the last day of the transfer window. Sakic knew what he wanted, he beat the Canadiens enough offers on the table in order for the player trade to take place.
In return, a young man left Lehkonen for Montreal Justin Barron as well as the reservation for the second round in 2024. Compared to Lehkonen’s achievements in Colorado, Sakic can be said to be the winner of the trade.
Lehkonen scored nine (6 + 3) power points in 16 matches in the regular season. At the latest in the playoffs, the Finnish pier redeemed its role.
In 20 matches, Lehkonen scored eight goals and scored six points. As a cherry on the cake, Lehkonen’s name goes down in the history books, the championship was decided by his shot.
– For this reason, these thunderstorms are procured on the last day of the transfer limit. I would exchange the first ten rounds of a reservation with him at the moment. We’ve all already finished when they play in the league, the Superstar of Colorado Nathan MacKinnon praised Lehko for Sportsnet in the championship humus.
“Give 15 years”
Lehkonen is guaranteed to have an account date next summer. The current $ 2.3 million contract ended and he became a limited free agent. This means that Colorado has the privilege of putting an agreement in front of a Finn.
The paycheck on these screens is sure to grow. And Lehkonen doesn’t even have to think about long-term plans.
– Hopefully they will give a 15-year contract to “Ars”, Mikko Rantanen, another Finnish hero in Colorado, glowed after the championship Ylelle.
