[Run the Jewels]

I'm good with this.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

Huge fan of Alex Lyon by nature of him not being James Reimer.

 

[norrisnick]

#2 I hope.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Good depth. Surprised he came that cheap.

 

[NickH8]

Not sure who initially reported this but Helene put an article out about it. She wouldn't do that were it not official.

 

[Reality Check]

Good depth. Surprised he came that cheap.

Small sample size.

I'm in favor of the gamble. If he craps out like Ned, so be it.

 

[NickH8]

I'm entirely prepared for Lyon to be waived at the start of the season, everyone loses their minds, he clears, Reimer stinks then we swap and Lyon win's the backup job.

 

[Henkka]

Hmm, Lyon signed for 2 years and Reimer only for 1 year.

I like Lyon, was good at Florida, and don¨t like much of Reimer.

Reimer shorter deal somewhat feels like he is the surplus, maybe traded or waived if he will fail.

Maybe good to gamble with 2 options.

Who knows with goalies, you can dump the worse one away.

 

[Bench]

If ever there was an indication Husso is the #1, it's the signings today.

Hope Lyon can show something and steal games.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

I’m OK with this. Seems like a good Hellberg AHL/NHL tweener replacement.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Send Reimer to GR

 

[Perfect Human]

This is a benchmark for Cossa. Can he beat Alex Lyon NEXT offseason for the #2 spot.

This year its for GRR starter.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

The real backup

 

[OneMoreTry]

I'm entirely prepared for Lyon to be waived at the start of the season, everyone loses their minds, he clears, Reimer stinks then we swap and Lyon win's the backup job.

I'd prefer Lyon to be so impressive on coaches that we can shoot Reimer from a cannon asap.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

I was initially confused with signing both him and Reimer, but the loser in camp will just be the new Hellberg.

 

[PelagicJoe]

He's turning out to be a steal.
