It makes one wonder.
i wonder why friedman is wondering if the isles are wondering about lehner
MDC a draft bust? He is being carefully cultivated to play in the NHL, and should be ready within the next five years. He already has 5 goals in just 33 games!Oh, so you would trade Greiss who is a cap-dump level goalie and a draft bust for a starting goalie and a pick. Good to know. I easily say no to this and I don't even like Lehner much. Lehner for MDC maybe could be considered, even though I'm hesitant on that as well, considering MDC looks like a bust. Gress has negative value with his contract and level of play and is certainly not worth a 3rd.
But,but according to HF GMs Dell/Hutchinson/Price/Gruaber are slated to be in goal for the isles next seasonI can't wait for Lehner to be the starting goalie for the Isles...
Name one high end #1 goalie that is available? If you stumble on 1 of these, you dont trade him away. Pittsburgh and Tampa had 2 last season but thats about it. Its not the case anymore and I cant think of high end number 1 that would be available for trade.Isles need D or a real #1 goalie. Lehner won't make a difference.

So you need to get D apparently, which is what you traded away in the summer ironically.
We've had Sabres fan complain about every player including Eichel...I'll still take Lehner over any goaltender that's playing for the Islanders.yes Lehner. In fact buffalo sabres fans said
every single quote is from a sabres fan, not one of them is mine, why would i want that near my team, Some Sabres fans are incredibly smart and honest. I'm glad Botterill wants to change the dynamic. People like Stokes84,Yahtzee, and pigpen65 sure deserve it. And how can I doubt them when they're so refreshingly honest. its been 50 Years they deserve a cup it's about time don't you think?
From Botterill On Tsn Radio. His exact words were "we have had discussions on a Contract, and we arent prepared to meet his current demands"
So If lehner sticks to his ask that leaves only one logical conclusion, does it not? i know its GM speak but I have No reason to doubt botterill. He sounds like he has a plan and it definitely doesn't sound like business as usual. Based on what he says I expect big changes in Buffalo

Who does Friedman pay to have these thoughts for him?
Always interesting to read or hear what hockey insider's have to say about what teams are doing, what player trade values are and compare the insider's info with our armchair GMs opinions.Friedman said on his podcast the Islanders have been scouting him and he'd be cheap to acquire.
I don't believe that Michael Hutchinson is an NHL-level goaltender. He had a brief hot streak in his first season and that's it. I put him in the same category as Louie Domingue.Hutchinson might be the best available G in my opinion. Some team would be wise to pick him up.
I happen to think Domingue is pretty good too, but Hutch is at a much higher level in my opinion. Currently tops in the A with a .942I don't believe that Michael Hutchinson is an NHL-level goaltender. He had a brief hot streak in his first season and that's it.
