In the most recent piece by La Presse reporter Guillaume Lefrançois, Joe Sakic said a bit too much about the future of Finland's Artturi Lehkonen with the Colorado Avalanche.
« I hope he will blow up our payroll! But that will be in two years, because he already has a contract for next year. »
"I know very well what kind of player I am."
Artturi Lehkonen adds another game-winning goal to an impressive list. Reactions from the Avalanche's big chance man, and his father, Ismo, describing the game (for 50 minutes)

So Lehky and the Avalanche would already have a contract in place, if Sakic's statement is any indication?
The former Habs man will become a UFA next July.
