Lehner to CLB?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Lehner to CLB?

Jarmo has said several times their goaltending is set, no?

 

[izzy]

lehner to chicago right lol

 

[Unsustainable]

Perfect for us

 

[Michoulicious]

Lehner would have been better, but Mrazek was decent last year.

 

[cakeschmammert]

Who is even left as a taker for Lehner then? Chicago? Colorado?

 

[Reality Check]

Mrazek is fine as a backup. Though will still find a way to frustrate you.

 

[BB88]

With Lehner out(and yes right now gone) there Mrazek/Reimer duo isn't that exciting.

 

[TheOllieC]

Perfect term for the Canes

 

[Vitto79]

So Mrazek, Reimer , Forsberg the depth
Not great IMO

Getting us to the ECF after a decade of awful goaltending was very frustrating agreed

Before last season a Mrazek/McElhinney/Darling net looked atrocious too. Then their goaltending ended up being very solid. Mrazek was on fire after the start of the calendar year. Low-risk signing for the Canes in hopes that he keeps that going as the #1.

I wonder if not knowing what Aho's contract was going to be held up this signing a bit..

Mrazek - Reimer is terrible. I think McElhinney's contribution to the Canes this past year is very underrated.

These two guys have a history of letting in bad goals. Such a shame if the Canes go right back to square 1, lose tight games because other teams need less chances to score.

[Anton Babchuk]

good deal for both sides

Feel free to hang a banner over that accomplishment?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Not bad.

I'd just rather bet on different duo to do well next year.
I hate basically nothing more than bad goaltending killing teams chances.

Lehner was out there as well.

LOL. Yes, Mrazek, who was the best goalie we had last year, and the best goalie the Canes have employed since 2008-2009 Cam Ward, will make a terrible tandem with Reimer.

McStarter is great and all, but his body breaks down if he has to be the #1 or if he plays back-to-backs or even plays 3 games in a row. Mrazek is more than capable of being a #1, Reimer has a very solid career, and Ned just won the goalie of the year award in the AHL.

But let's go back to Darling and Ward, who definitely have way less of a history of letting in bad goals.

 

[BrassCompels]

Good deal, Canes have a better tandem this year than last year.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

As a Canes fan, I’m pretty on-board with this. Good money and good term. Darling was a sunk cost so getting a much better and cheaper goaltender to platoon is a net positive anyway you look at it.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I guess the Canes are just going to roll with the same group and hope for more upsets in their playoff bracket?
