Great. He is even more of a fragile head case the Halak

Now the real tank commander emerges.

Man, if we do get Hughes… he better be worth it.

Lehner is a hot head. Halak is a whiny bitch.

Sweet. A friend of mine went to the same school as Lehner. He told me some crazy stories about him growing up. Would love to see him in orange and blue.

You can't just float that without sharing a story or two lol

Yea you pretty much are required to share these stories now.

Lehner is a nice option I think griess may be traded in a bigger package

Hughes is better than Matthews at the same age and is the most naturally gifted prospect next to McDavid for the past 20 years. He is most definitely worth it.

nevermind

I don't mind this signing, helps the agenda.

Well, we're doing the right thing because this team is going to be bad.

It's like we timewarped to the LaFontaine and Baumgartner days, when I really got into the Isles. It's come full circle.

It feels like that. I always had a Turgeon-like feeling from Judas as well and we went from LaFontaine to Turgeon now it seems like we're going from Turgeon to LaFontaine.

Uh, am I the only one who sees this as a Halak upgrade? Whiny bunch in here today.

 

[Lights911]

I actually like Lehner. I think he can be a pretty good goalie but a decent defense

It's an upgrade.

I hope he doesn't kill ho sang when he doesn't back check

Read through this thread and I don't see any whining.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

He's the best free agent Goalie available. Slim pickings this year. If Lou could get an Andersen or Schneider he would. But none are available. As scary as this sounds he is an upgrade to what the Isles had last year. Maybe he can work with a new goalie coach and pull a Dubnyk.

 

[Sorge Georos]

Hope he grows an inch or two. Don't get me wrong he's still great, but the guy can score 70 goals a year and it went count on this board bc he's a smurf.

 

[Quickdraw2828]

It was pretty obvious we were getting him. I'd rather have him than Howard or Anderson.

How does this move make us worse? Seriously now.

 

[SDIsles34]

I wonder what type of term he'll command. Let's hoping it's a 2 year deal at 2.75m... Is that reasonable?

 

[PWJunior]

How does this move make us worse? Seriously now.

He's overrated and a head case. He's supposedly the worst SO goalie in the league too. He's good as a stop gap.
