Der Jaeger
Generational EBUG
Lehner is an average starting goalie. He's a positioning and system goalie. It's all probability. Form a defense which limits HDSCA. Find a big goalie who has great fundamentals and positioning, and you'll stop most of what comes.
This way is how Chicago does it. Crawford is average and sound. But he's not great. His best quality is that he's clutch.
I'd rather spend cap dollars on a goalie like Lehner, or Ullmark, or UPL, and create a great defense and center spine.
Lehner's two biggest issues are the defense and expectations. He's never going to be elite. He's also a bit of a butthole, which is not good for a goalie unless you're name is Roy or Hasek.
And he's not going to be good on a team which gives up HDSCA shots. I think that's why GMBOT signed him to the one-year deal.
