Artturi Lehkonen could have ended up in Ottawa instead of Colorado
['Marc-Olivier Cook']
Dose.ca
While playing for the Montreal Canadiens, Artturi Lehkonen was seen as a versatile player.
Kent Hughes eventually traded him to the Colorado Avalanche in March 2022, on the trade deadline… but the player could just as easily have ended up in Ottawa.
Because in Ottawa, Artturi Lehkonen would never have won the Stanley Cup.
By trading Lehkonen to Colorado, the Canadiens acquired Justin Barron… who was ultimately used to acquire Alexandre Carrier from Nashville.
The Canadiens' defense would look different today if that hadn't happened, and Lehkonen could have become a key player in Ottawa, too…Oh well.
