Avalanche acquire Artturi Lehkonen, Andrew Cogliano

The Colorado Avalanche look to have made their final moves of the trade deadline with only a little bit of time left until the deadline. They’ve gotten another good forward in Artturi Lehkonen from the Montreal Canadiens, as first broke by ESPN’s Kevin Weekes. Habs will retain 50% of Lehkonen’s salary as well.

Lehkonen, the 26-year old winger comes into the Avalanche side as a critical middle six piece. He will slot in nicely on either the second or third line, however Jared Bednar decides to use him.
