Confirmed with Link: Islanders Sign Robin Lehner, G - 1 Year Deal

[IslesNorway]

Nice deal and little to no risk.

 

[Jettany]

This means he'll be playing for a big contract.

True. But for who.

True. But for who.

Maybe Florida, Luongo is 82 at the end of this season, mabye Boston Rask will be 55

 

[Lights911]

Nice one year deal, low risk. Lou has a plan for a goalie next year

 

[scott99]

This team is going to look so different from the last few years... hope Lou has a good plan.

He does have a plan, it’s called NHL coaching, which the Islanders haven’t had since 1992. In fact, it’s called ELITE NHL coaching.

 

[BMOK33]

1 year is risky because if Soderstrom stinks the joint up at Bridgeport and Lehner is money we cannot afford him back and he won't agree for one more year anyway with Sorokin and Soderstrom looming

Nice one year deal, low risk. Lou has a plan for a goalie next year

Hopefully the Russian kid.

Some defensive forwards too, going to be weird to have 3-2 games next year

Yeah it is going to be similar to Cappy games where we were in close games, but with great coaching we will games that we should not have, unlike Cappy games where he blew leads late

 

[CupHolders]

You do realize DD may have been right. Isles and Staple/Gross all thought JT was a done deal. Especially at the draft. JT mentioned he was very close as well.

Oh, stop it. You have proposed that viewpoint in several other threads. Since all of that occurred behind close doors we’ll never know exactly what the sequence of events were. But for me, I don’t really care how it played out. The result is all that matters.

Additionally, my comment was only in jest.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Short. Cheap. Cool.

 

[MarsTBOW]

This is a positive move

 

[Quickdraw2828]

True. But for who.

doesn't matter, if we can get one good year out of him I'll take it

 

[ScaredStreit]

$1.5million cap hit for 1 year is a good deal. If anything I think we should give him a little bit more lol.

 

[TeamKidd]

yeah we got a deal here. should be 2-3M imo.

I agree. At the end. He went back on his word. He screwed us. To be fair ,I don't even know why he would considered staying with Weight and Snow still employed to begin with.

With the #Islanders signing FA goalie Robin Lehner to 1 year/$1.5M contract, we now show the club with roughly $19.8M in projected cap space based on a tentative roster of 19 (12F/5D/2G)

 

[SI90]

Not risky at all. I think he starts more than Greiss.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

That’s interesting, 1 year ? I guess they have faith Soderstrom will be ready in 2019-20 ?

They probably just have little faith in Lehner.

 

[SI90]

Also it’s only one year because we’re gonna sign Bobrovsky next year. Book it.

I kind of like the signing. Brings alittle snarl. The 21 century poor man's Billy Smith. (we we can hope I guess)

 

[islesfan186]

Good I like it. Kids got some untapped potential. Let Korn work with him and he can turn into the next Dubnyk with attitude.

Is Korn confirmed to be working for NYI? Last I saw he is debating if he wants to stay with the caps. Would be YUUUGE if he comes over.
Hey, at least we signed a goalie.

 

[KnishOfTheCrease]

Good signing

Sure - but we need players too!
