Canadiens notebook: Hughes had no option but to deal Cup ... (Sportsnet.ca)

Artturi Lehkonen is going to get paid. That was the first thought running through my mind after watching him score the Stanley Cup-clinching goal for the ...

To get one of Richardson’s pedigree is a coup for Chicago, even if this is his first official head coaching job in the NHL. But on top of that, he’s highly intelligent, he’s respectful, he’s an excellent communicator, he’s a leader, and he’s a nurturer. And it’s a move that’s going to greatly benefit an organization looking to turn over its roster even more than the Canadiens intend to. A staff whose two assistants are in their first NHL coaching roles? He’ll be buying up the best years of Lehkonen’s career and investing in a player who almost always makes the right play over every square inch of the ice. And he loves his son infinitely, but also lives to bust his chops. I can only imagine how special it was for him to be there on Sunday to watch Artturi realize his biggest dream. And I highly doubt he was thinking about all the extra greenbacks he’ll be pocketing in the near future because of his performance. I remember saying to him: “You know, Artturi’s playing some pretty good hockey here,” and Artturi really was. He’ll be spending on a player who has consistently elevated his game when it’s matters most, a clutch scorer, and now a champion. But Lehkonen is going to get paid. Sakic made other brilliant ones — plucking reliable veteran Andrew Cogliano out of San Jose for a 2024 fifth-round pick and getting defenceman Josh Manson from the Anaheim Ducks for defence prospect Drew Hellison and a 2023 second-rounder — but none more impactful than the one for Lehkonen, who put up eight goals and 14 points over Colorado’s remarkable 20-game run through the Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues, Edmonton Oilers and two-time defending Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning.

This is the kind of coach a team needs to unscrew and develop for long-term success. After playing for 20 years at the NHL, Richardson embarked on a coaching career, working as a top-level assistant for eight seasons and booking a four-year mission as head coach for the AHL Binghamton Senators. To his player. They consistently thought how he saved video room coaching, how he thought it wasn’t worth making mistakes in the heat of the moment, building confidence and playing well. First reported by Frank Ceravari of DailyFaceoff.com, the deal was officially announced by Canadians assistant coach Luke Richardson to become head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks this week and will be introduced at a press conference. And it’s a move that will bring great benefits to organizations that are trying to turn the roster more than the Canadiens intended. .. And I’m very skeptical that he was thinking about all the extra greenbacks he would put in his pocket for his performance in the near future. He had for the second round pick and top defense outlook Justin Baron in 2024 when he was traded to Avalanche in March. He was playing like a player who could grab a hammer in negotiations and swing it easily — he doesn’t necessarily have to price himself from Montreal, but to the extent that he can accept the package. He will spend on players, clutch scorers, and now champions who have consistently improved the game at the most important times. He will buy the best years of Lekonen’s career and most often invest in players who play right every square inch of ice. And he not only loves his son endlessly, but also lives to burst his chops. If Sakic wants to keep the annual cap numbers reasonable, of course he does. Sakitch has made another great thing — pulling credible veteran Andrew Colliano from San Jose on a fifth round pick in 2024 and winning defensive Josh Manson from Anaheim Ducks for a defensive outlook.

Montreal Canadiens: Artturi Lehkonen Sheds Dubious Moniker in ... (A Winning Habit)

Former Montreal Canadiens winger Artturi Lehkonen shed his "almost Lehkonen" label in dramatic fashion with Stanley Cup winning goal.

Before the Avs made the Stanley Cup Final, it was once again Lehkonen who sent them there with a game winning goal. In the past 12 months Lehkonen has scored two conference final winning goals and a Stanley Cup winning goal. Then he gathered it back quickly and backhanded it across to Lehkonen who was streaking down the left wing and snapped the puck over the goaltender’s shoulder. General Manager Kent Hughes finally got the offer he could not refuse from the Colorado Avalanche. Lehkonen was on his way to the Mile High City, and Justin Barron was coming to Montreal with a second round pick attached as well. It sounds obvious, but the consensus feeling was an overwhelming offer would get a deal done, but they weren’t making trades just to make trades. Once Tyler Toffoli was dealt to the Calgary Flames, it signalled that the management team was willing to move players with a little more team control.
