Value of: Robin Lehner next contract and where does he get it?

[bernmeister]

Teams will play hardball. covid/flat cap pressures drive price, term down

expect
5.5 x 4

where, up for grabs but if pleasant divorce of MAF w/LV, he's prob gonna stay w/very strong club as starter

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Fluery to TO? Lehner signs in Vegas?

Fluery is 35 I'd be surprised if he's the guy Dubas targets

 

[Habs Halifax]

Maybe Vegas is impressed by Montreal and is on the bandwagon of masked man combos in 13m$+.

Fleury has one year left. That is very possible what they are thinking. Keep both goalies and maybe be patient on trading Fleury... could move him at the deadline as last option.

 

[McSuper]

Right now looking like it'll be with Vegas.

I would guess six years at $7.5M AAV.

But the other thing to consider is what'll happen with Fleury. I think trade Fleury to the Oilers for James Neal.

I was going to post this . Done deal from my point of view

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

So right now sounding like Vegas for roughly 5 x $5m so take Lehner off the market.

The way he's playing it has to be more than that that would be cheap

Have to remember though that Nevada has no State income tax like Florida, Texas and Tennessee. So he can still make more then signing for more in a high taxed state.

Hearing same thing on the radio out here too. Vegas is resigning Lehner. Markstrom will follow suit in Van. Teams thinking they can trade away their starter and upgrade with a UFA will be looking at Holtby as the next best option.

At least that's what Kypreo's has been reporting anyways, And he's generally been pretty reliable here of late. If Benning is able to resign Markstrom i really want Yzerman to go after Thatcher Demko had heard that Detroit could be a possible front runner for him if Benning chooses to move him.

What once looked like a good UFA goalie market can sure dry up fast. Guys like Demko and Murray trade value might go up with less UFA top quality options?

Fleury has two years left on his contract. He will be a tough contract to move right now. Not impossible but tough. It depends on Vegas' needs and who is on Fleury's 10-team no-trade list. If Carolina is a spot Fleury can go to, maybe they'd be willing to trade them Reimer and a 3rd but I'm not sure if Carolina would honestly be targeting Fleury when Demko/Markstrom could be an option for them.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

You know I was pretty sure Freddy was being traded but if two potential replacements come off the market I'm not sure he is

Yeah with Lehner and Markstrom off the market, That basically leaves Holtby as the main UFA prize. Players like Greiss/Talbot/Elliott/Khudobin to lesser extents. Marc Andre-Fleury, Matt Murray, Alexander Georgiev could be pieces on the move. Would love to see Yzerman go after a young stud would be happy with either Demko or Georgiev.

Two years left

 

[Habs Halifax]

Two years left

Ah yes. My bad

That's because, if this is true, Kyper is right that it's already been signed & in a drawer. It was probably done in August before they left for the bubble. Lehner had some curiously candid comments about re-signing, which seemed odd at the time.

When asked about a possible extension he coyly said "wouldn't you like to know?" back in July camp.

Kyper is reporting this? I'm now less convinced

Kyper is hit and miss he COULD be right but not Bobby Mack, or Lebrun or Freidman, or CJ either

CJ as in Chris Johnston? He said he'd bet money on Vegas moving Pacioretty or Stastny at the draft last year.
