In the most recent episode of his podcast, insider Elliotte Friedman shared important information involving former Montreal Canadiens forward Artturi Lehkonen. It doesn't look good.

As a result, the Colorado Avalanche are very active in the trade market to fill this loss. They are working to finalize a trade.

«Friedman on 32TP mentions it looks like Lehkonen's injury is pretty significant and the Avalanche are in the market to add some depth scoring.» - NHL Watcher

Could a player like Joel Armia be of temporary interest to them? Stay tuned, but it is known that Kent Hughes and the Avalanche's GM have a very good business relationship.

Lehkonen, 28 years old, has accumulated 8 points in 12 games this season in Colorado. (51 points in 64 games last season) The Canadiens' 2nd round pick in 2013 earns $4.5 million per year until 2027.
