Well, I guess Lehner is pretty much gone.

 

[BigBush*]

Im pumped! cant wait to see what Murray decides to do this summer with all of our goalies!!

 

[BigBush*]

Well, I guess Lehner is pretty much gone.

Please do not trade him within our division Murray. Its been a frustrating few years watching Bishop

 

[HavlatMach9]

Well we lack a decent goalie prospect in our system. Good work by the management.

I wouldnt trade him let Hammy walk ,its the easier solution tbh

 

[Samboni]

Wow, you could buy me for a nickel. I really didn't expect that. At any rate, I'm pleased with that. You can't have enough assets or goaltenders.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Potential #1 goalie for free

Nice knowing ya Lehner

unless Lehner has decent value. if we can trade him to the west for Edmontons 2nd, and sign Hammond to be the back up, that's what I'd do

 

[Samsquanch]

Woo-hoo

This won't happen.

It's going to be a packaged deal for a top 6 forward at Edmonton. I'm seeing a goalie, a defenseman and either a prospect or a pick going for one of their top 6. If we go for Eberle, I wouldn't be surprised if Hoffman is in the mix for the trade.

My preference?

Cowen, Lehner, Prospect/Hoffman, First round pick this year for Taylor Hall. And that's just me being me. (Get that kid out of that hellhole and have him play with a decent D and we might see the emergence of the number 1.)

 

[Karlsson2Turris*]

Bye bye Lehner

 

[Othello*]

Bye bye Hammond

I'd like this, but I doubt Charelli moves one of these star players in Edmonton this year. He'll give them the year under the microscope im pretty sure.

Charelli will be much more willing to move picks.

 

[Six Assets]

Bye bye Hammond

i second this

 

[Senscore]

People forget that only a few years ago, Hammond was basically in O'Connor's spot.

Maybe not as highly touted but its the same situation. Temper expectations.

 

[SensBrawler]

Yay! Nice signing by management.

Unless we get a good offer, I don't want to trade Lehner. Just let Hammond become a UFA.

McTavish was bullish on not moving the core.

Chiarelli understands what Edmonton needs and will be more willing to break his overloaded core for defence. Remember what he built in Boston. That's going to be somewhat of a template he'll want to use, just have ridiculously awesome player in McDavid whereas he never had that kind of star power in Boston.

He'll wanna shore up on a goalie and defensemen. Specially considering they gave Petry away like they did to Montreal.

I agree, I just highly doubt it'll happen THIS off season. He'll give Hall/Nuge/Eberle/Draisaitl a chance to preform this year.

 

[HavlatMach9]

if we know Lehner will be healthy at some point, then I rather keep him for the potential over Hammond. That enables a possible O'Connor vs Lehner future.

 

[OmniSens]

This is so awesome! I hope he plays in the rookie tournament and just deny everyone.

 

[Senscore]

So now ideally our starting lineup is:

Stone


Karlsson

Anderson
Lehner
Hammond
O'Connor, all standing across the crease.

 

[Six Assets]

6'6 goalie. nice work BM.

So in 3 years, O'Connor goes on a 19-1-3 run?
