Hope you look forward to many years in the AHL.
Are you saying he ultimately won't amount to much in the NHL?
What I think he might be saying is he won't get a chance to amount to his potential as Andy is the man for years to come per management.
I seriously dont think he's going to be a career AHL'er but I dont think he's a #1 goalie and id you're not a bonafide #1 then you won't find any stability here in Ottawa. Andy is a proven #1 and I think Lehner is in the wrong place to find a role as a #1. Unfortunately Andy is in the final year of his contract so he'll probably be gone before the deadline and Lehner will be dropped right into the starting role and start racking up the losses. He's basically like a Patrick Lalime. And please understand that i'm very thankful for Lalime's time in Ottawa and he did us a great service but he's not a #1 and Lehner isn't either. I think aot of the same was said about Ray Emery and he was run out of town after taking us to the finals.

Then you aren't going to like this news:
