Kari Lehtonen Traded To Dallas Stars, Vishnevskiy To Atlanta; No Turco Trade Tonight

by Brandon Worley on Feb 9, 2010 7:20 PM CST in News Comment 605 comments

FINAL UPDATE, 10:13pm CST: It appears that any trade between the Dallas Stars and Philalphia Flyers involving Marty Turco is dead. While there were whispers that the Stars were trying to send Turco to Philly, Flyers GM Paul Holmgren told Comcast Sports Net that there was no way a trade was happening.

“That [Turco deal] is not happening,” Holmgren said. “There is no chance, we can’t take that cap hit [at that spot].

UPDATE VI, 8:54pm CST: It's confirmed: Joe Nieuwendyk confirms with the Dallas Morning News that the Stars have traded for goaltender Kari Lehtonen, in exchange for Ivan Vishnevkiy and a fourth-round draft pick. The teams are awaiting NHL approval for the trade to be official. Stars press release is after the jump.

8:24pm CST: Some quick thoughts on the Lehtonen trade while we wait on word on a potential Marty Turco trade.

First, I understand the pain and anger involved with a team's number one prospect is traded away for an injury prone goaltender who is going to be a restricted free agent. But here's my guess on why the Stars were willing to part with Vishnevksiy: I don't think that Joe Nieuwendyk was as high on him as the rest of us were. The Stars have had the chance to see what he can do a few times this season, and he never did much to force the Stars to give him more games. And while he was a starter in the AHL all-star game, his numbers weren't what you would expect from a player billed as the next Sergei Zubov. On the other hand, Nieuwendyk has come out and said several times this season that the team is very high on Philip Larsen, a big defensemen playing in Sweden.

As far as Kari Lehtonen goes..well, the Stars are acquiring a goaltender with a ton of potential. The injury history is troubling, but there's a chance that a move to Dallas lights a fire in him and he lives up to the goaltender many thought he was while playing in the AHL.

If the Stars were going to acquire a goaltender any more established than Lehtonen, then the price would most likely have been higher. Be careful to judge this trade right away; this was a gamble by the Stars but it has the potential to be a great move. Or it could be a bust. We'll see.

UPDATE V, 8:06pm CST: Now there are very small hints, just a whimper really, that the Dallas Stars are talking with the Philadelphia Flyers about a potential Marty Turco trade. Stay tuned for more on the Turco rumors and some quick analysis on the Lehtonen trade.

UPDATE IV, 7:48pm CST: Per Bob McKenzie of TSN, and Kevin Allen, the trade is tentatively done with Ivan Vishnevskiy headed to Atlanta. The Stars also reportedly gave up a fourth-round draft pick. The trade will not be finalized until after the Stars and Blackhawks game is completed.

UPDATE III, 7:44pm CST: Ivan Vishnevskiy was scratched from the Texas Stars lineup tonight after game warmups. Does not mean anything is official on the trade, but most likely means he's the piece the Stars are looking to move.

UPDATE II, 7:33pm CST: As it stands now, no trade has happened. It appears that two teams are in the mix for Kari Lehtonen, with the Blues battling with the Stars. Rumors have it that the Stars are either shopping a high draft pick or defensemen Ivan Vishnevskiy, while the Blues are reportedly shopping Carlo Colaiacovo.

UPDATE I, 7:29 CST: Kari Lehtonen did not make the trip to Colorado with the Thrashers and it appears that a trade is imminent. Still no word on whether Ivan Vishnevskiy is involved.

Original post and Stars press release after the jump:

The past twenty minutes or so have been a maelstrom of activity at Defending Big D headquarters, as nearly a hundred emails and tweets have alerted us to a possible trade between the Dallas Stars and the Atlanta Thrashers.

Right now, it appears as if Kari Lehtonen has been traded to the Dallas Stars, although nothing is official at this point. The Atlanta-Journal Consitution has nothing more than a headline, but Chris Vivlamore's twitter account said this:

I'm hearing more than rumbles that Kari Lehtonen has been traded to Dallas. Didn't accompany team to Denver.

Deal for Lehtonen could involve defenseman Ivan Vishnevskiy. Maybe a low-round draft pick.

We'll have more on these rumors as they develop, but it appears that this is pretty close to being done. No actual good word on what the Stars have given up in return.

Frisco, Tex. - Dallas Stars General Manager Joe Nieuwendyk announced this evening that the hockey club has acquired goaltender Kari Lehtonen from the Atlanta Thrashers in exchange for defenseman Ivan Vishnevskiy and Dallas' fourth round pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

Lehtonen, 26, is an NHL veteran goaltender who has played his entire career with Atlanta. He was the second overall pick in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft by the Thrashers. Lehtonen has appeared in 204 career NHL games, earning a 94-83-17 record with a 2.87 goals-against-average (GAA) and 14 shutouts. His career save percentage of 91.2 percent ranks 16th among the 44 active goalies with 100-or-more games played.

"Kari Lehtonen is a proven elite goaltender," said Nieuwendyk. "We are very excited to add him to our hockey club."

A native of Helsinki, Finland, Lehtonen has not played yet this season due to off-season back surgery. He recently underwent a four-game conditioning assignment with the Chicago Wolves and has been cleared to play.

Lehtonen has an impressive record in shootout contests, having gone 20-8 in those games over his career (the 20 wins are tied for the sixth-most all-time despite not playing at all yet this season). He has also stopped seven-of-eight penalty shots in his career.

Finishing last season with a 7-2-0 record in his last nine starts with two shutouts, Lehtonen is Atlanta's all-time leader among goaltenders in games (204), wins (94), shutouts (14), and save percentage (.912). He has represented Finland in international competition 11 times, including winning a Silver Medal at the 2007 World Championships.

Vishnevskiy, 21, has spent most of this season with the Texas Stars (AHL), playing in 51 games (8 goals, 16 assists) with 18 penalty minutes. He also appeared in two NHL games with Dallas, going scoreless. Vishnevskiy was Dallas' first round selection (27th overall) in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. He has played in five career NHL games, earning two assists.

Kari Lehtonen Highlights

· Career save percentage of 91.2% - 16th best among active goalies.

· 20-8 career record in shootouts - T-6th most wins ever in shootouts.

· Backstopped Atlanta to 2007 division title, going 34-24-9 with 4 shutouts, a 2.79 GAA and .912 save percentage. Ranked 11th in the NHL in wins and shutouts. Allowed two-or-fewer goals in 29 games.

· Two-time winner of the top goaltender award in the Finnish Elite League (2002, 2003).

· Earned a 13-5-3 record, leading team to 2002 Finnish Elite League Championship as league's youngest goaltender (18).

Hopefully 'could' means 'not'

There is no way

Joe would give up Vish AND any type of draft pick for a guy who’s only played 1 full season out of 5. There’s just no way.

I know we all would like to think that Joe could come here...

sprinkle some of that old magic dust on the team and all will be right but so far…well…

He’s gonna have some growing pains just like a player or coach would. We can certainly expect (and later forgive?) him for some of these early mistakes.

Okay…maybe “forgive” is a stretch.

Let is be true, that we got Lehtonen and didnt give up Vish.

by JCWM2 on Feb 9, 2010 7:23 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Vishnevskiy

Hopefully the Vishnevskiy is only a reporters conjecture on what the deal could be because that is some weird language in that tweet: “Could involve Vishnevskiy” and “Maybe a low-round draft pick.” If he’s saying Vish+ the pick it is even worse. If he’s saying Vish or a low round pick – I think that may be he understates the value of Vish and is throwing a name out there.

Or maybe they meant Vish but..

are also eluding to a trade with the Oilers that would bring Visnovsky to Big D? Hell with the possibility of Vish for Lehtonen straight up, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Here's an issue:

It’s going to be uber-confusing to tell the difference between Lehtinen and Lehtonen on the radio : /

Just saying…

If the Vish part is true....

this has got to be the most idiotic trade I’ve ever heard of. Vish is the closest thing we have to Zubie waiting in the wings, and as someone said the other day, Zubie’s don’t grow on trees. I wouldn’t have traded for Lehtonen for ANYTHING, let alone for Vish.

As much as I do not want to lose Vish

I am really concerned about what to do with three goalies. Wouldn’t that mean that the Stars aren’t done, that they would have to move another goalie like now?

As far as the design a tshirt contest... That would be awesome!

Seeing other people creations would be fun.

And if you guys ever have any tips for any tshirts I make, or just plain don’t like em, let me know. I’m always open to advice. In fact, I love it.

Update:

UPDATE II, 7:33pm CST: As it stands now, no trade has happened. It appears that two teams are in the mix for Kari Lehtonen, with the Blues battling with the Stars. Rumors have it that the Stars are either shopping a high draft pick or defensemen Ivan Vishnevskiy, while the Blues are reportedly shopping Carlo Colaiacovo.

So there’s still time for someone to punch him in the back, putting him out for 6 months thereby nixing the trade.

That's the thing missing in all of this, wherever we send Turco, we could get someone like Vish (or better) in return.

Because ultimately, Turco’s value is WAY higher than Lehtonen. Maybe this trade is setting the standard expected for someone of Turco’s value?

If so, genius foresight by Joe.

Kari

As a Thrash fan I’ll tell ya this about Kari. The kid has all the skills. He’s posted some pretty respectable numbers behind a gawd-awful defensive squad. I think he finished one year 14th overall for goalies in SV% on a Thrash team that finished 28th. Everyone knows he’s physically fragile but this was also supposed to have been the surgery to fix everything. Mostly, the players down here pretty much said they wanted to stick with Pavs and Moose and the organization is really high on our other G prospect Mannino so Kari was the obvious exit choice. I’ll be curious to see how things work out for him in Big D – and I’m sure not upset we’ve shipped him off to the other conference.

Good luck with him … and I mean that. :)

From post update: Some quick thoughts on the Lehtonen trade while we wait on word on a potential Marty Turco trade.

First, I understand the pain and anger involved with a team’s number one prospect is traded away for an injury prone goaltender who is going to be a restricted free agent. But here’s my guess on why the Stars were willing to part with Vishnevksiy: I don’t think that Joe Nieuwendyk was as high on him as the rest of us were. The Stars have had the chance to see what he can do a few times this season, and he never did much to force the Stars to give him more games. And while he was a starter in the AHL all-star game, his numbers weren’t what you would expect from a player billed as the next Sergei Zubov. On the other hand, Nieuwendyk has come out and said several times this season that the team is very high on Philip Larsen, a big defensemen playing in Sweden.

As far as Kari Lehtonen goes..well, the Stars are acquiring a goaltender with a ton of potential. The injury history is troubling, but there’s a chance that a move to Dallas lights a fire in him and he lives up to the goaltender many thought he was while playing in the AHL.

Lehtonen

If he pulls a “Gaborik”, yes i made gaborik a verb, coming from an injury riddled past and plays on fire like Gaborik has done in NY then this is good. Thats about as positive as i can be at the moment.

UPDATE VI, 8:54pm CST: It’s confirmed: Joe Nieuwendyk confirms with the Dallas Morning News that the Stars have traded for goaltender Kari Lehtonen, in exchange for Ivan Vishnevkiy and a fourth-round draft pick. The teams are awaiting NHL approval for the trade to be official.

Trade

Here’s how I’m trying to look at it…

We now have a former 2nd overall pick. We weren’t going to resign Turco anyway. If we want to sign a real, blue-chip number 1 D-man, we wouldn’t have room for Vish. Lehtonen’s cap hit is going to be small. 4th round picks are easy to get back.

I just can’t let go of the idea it’s such a huge gamble though.

NIsky is most likely staying, and Lehtonen was 3rd on my list of 3 possible goalie targets. YOu go after the sure thing in Halak. Really Joe? your cheap like my father and overpay with a future top line d man in my opinon. DON"T TRADE TURCO

DUMBEST TRADE EVER!!!!!!

if they send Turco to Philly and we have Kari Lehtonen as the goalie, i really don’t know what i’ll do. but i’m definitely not wasting my time watching that SIEVE be our starting goalie.

A Turco trade to Philly would involve Daniel Briere.

Well....

Wandell could be part of that trade. I don’t know.

If this is true, there would have to be more parts to the trade than just Turco, since the salaries don’t match up.

So

for some reason I feel really sad. I don’t know if I think that it was a bad trade, or that I am finally realizing that Turco will for sure be gone. I was holding out a false hope that they would resign him. I know most don’t like him anymore, but I’ve always looked up to him. He was a role model to me as a goalie. I wouldn’t say that he is my favorite player, but I don’t know. I guess I just fell in love with the Stars with him as the #1 guy, and I’m really, really sad that its coming to an end. I hope Lehtonen lives up to the hype here, but I’m not going to miss Turco because of his skill, but because of the person he always showed himself to be. If the Stars lose this game, I’m going to cry. lol

I agree.

He’s one of my favorites as well, as much for the person he is off the ice as what he’s done one the ice. That’s why it bothers me so much when some people crucify him. I’ll continue to follow the Stars because they’re my hometown team and I’ll continue to follow Marty because I am not just a fair weather fan. I just wish I could do it with Marty as a Star (and it will hurt if I have to do it with Marty as a Flyer).

This deal makes perfect sense, sort of

Yes it’s a gamble, and yes you can be burned by either the player you’re getting or the player you’re giving. But to suggest that Lehtonen isn’t talented or that one would expect for Dallas to have a better goalie at a better price locked up going into next year isn’t very believable to me, nor is the suggestion that the cure for what ails this defense is Ivan freaking Vishnevskiy. You love his talent, but Dallas isn’t going to give him up in this deal if they think he has much chance whatsoever of becoming a reliable defensive player.

What I find odd is that he finalizes this deal (apparently) without having anything finalized to get something for Turco. He can say that they’re happy to keep both of them and Auld, but I doubt if anyone buys that. I don’t see how you can afford to let Turco walk for nothing after giving up one of your more attractive kids for his replacement. Just doesn’t seem like a very strong bargaining position, but it will make for an interesting period between the end of the olympic break and the trade deadline if he doesn’t get anything done this week.

Good points.

I was just talking with Travis Hughes about the lack of a deal in place for Turco. My guess is that they wanted Lehtonen sooner than later, before the price went even higher.

Also, you know something big happens with the great zywica graces our blog.

FINAL UPDATE, 10:13pm CST: It appears that any trade between the Dallas Stars and Philalphia Flyers involving Marty Turco is dead. While there were whispers that the Stars were trying to send Turco to Philly, Flyers GM Paul Holmgren told Comcast Sports Net that there was no way a trade was happening.

"That [Turco deal] is not happening," Holmgren said. "There is no chance, we can’t take that cap hit [at that spot].
