When the Chicago Blackhawks traded Robin Lehner to the Vegas Golden Knights there were mixed reactions from Blackhawks fans. Did they get a big-time prospect for him? Maybe a first-round pick? A player from their roster?
No.
The final trade would be Lehner for a second-round pick, 26 yr old goaltender Malcolm Subban, and defensive prospect Slava Demin. A trade that was met with a chorus of “meh” and many fans calling for the head of GM Stan Bowman.
While I will let others comment on Bowman’s future and the overall return of the trade I want to focus on the prospect that the Blackhawks were able to acquire in Demin.
