If nothing else lehner helps the islanders ability to goon it up...

I'm starting to get amused at the prospects of how some islanders games are gonna go...

I'm sure Trotz will go in that direction. I can already see it, JT will get his face washed.

It is possible other Goalies would have signed but neglected to do so because Tavares left

Not because of JT. Isles were a goalie graveyard under Snow. Lehner could improve much and have a future with Isles, but it would be a miracle if Isles would become a top destination for goalies.

It would be a miracle if Robin Lehner could improve!!

Although that being said, when the stars and planets align properly, Robin Lehner can actually play well for a few games. But he promptly goes back to his mistake ridden self soon after...

Islanders getting Korn to come aboard FULL TIME (he semi-retired last season, Scott Murray ran the day to day stuff) would mean as much, if not more, to the Islanders organization than getting Trotz.

I’m so happy for Lehner. Hopefully he’s doing well mentally and not just playing great. It’s amazing that he managed to put up a .920 save while having an alcohol problem.

Yep, gotta think Korn had a hand in that.
Love the July hot takes in this thread, especially from a specific fan base. Love it.

It was a perfect contract and a good story, with the Isles Sorokin probably very near being NHL ready. Good for Lou giving Robin a chance this year. So far it is looking good for both.

He's been fantastic for us. I was skeptical, but now I am a Robin Lehner fan. both for his play on the ice and because I have struggled with mental illness as well and it is great to be able to empathize with someone on my favorite team. I'm puling for you Robin.

Good signing for NYI. Buffalo was never going to tender him at $4.5M per so no hard feelings from this end.
