Insider says three teams are pushing for this Habs forward

According to an NHL insider, a bidding war could erupt over an unexpected player:

"The player that I believe is most in demand from the Montreal Canadiens is Artturi Lehkonen," said Seravalli on the podcast. "Teams see Artturi Lehkonen as this year's version of Blake Coleman. The scouting report on Artturi Lehkonen is he does just about everything in his game exceptionally well except finish, which is ironic because he is Finnish, and that's the guy that teams are really after to get."

"I know of at least 3 teams that are begging the Montreal Canadiens to try and get Artturi Lehkonen."

As a restricted free agent at the end of his current contract, any team trading for Lehkonen will have a good chance of keeping him in the summer.
