Artturi Lehkonen's value just exploded
With the Brandon Hagel trade to Tampa Bay, it now gives a good idea of Artturi Lehkonen's value.
Both players have a similar style of play.
On the other hand, Hagel is 23, Lehkonen is 26. Hagel has 37 points in 55 games (0.67 points per game), Lehkonen has 28 points in 57 games (0.49 points per game). Hagel has a better contract ($1.5M for another year), while Lehkonen will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season.
However, in terms of differentials, Lehkonen has an advantage with -1 and Hagel -14.
Is Lehkonen worth two first round picks and two prospects? Of course not, but, the teams that want to acquire Brandon Hagel are the same teams that want Lehkonen.
Could the Habs get a prospect and a first round pick? The answer is yes, especially since the Finn's market value has just exploded.
