Dreger: Teams calling on Lehner and Johnson

[Yatzhee]

I still like Lehner. I still look fondly on him for the B-Sens championship run and his fearsome stare. If Anderson/Condon continue to fall short, I would be okay with the Sens re-acquiring him for cheap. I might be in the minority here though.

Cheap?
Ok, a 1st rd pick. Its what we paid for him.

 

[Mr Positive]

I'd think that despite Lehner's issues, him being an impending RFA means Buffalo keeps him. Best to keep some talent around for a retool for next year, and hope his worse play can be remedied with some changes between now and next season. Goalies are like that sometimes

The UFA Johnson should be available. I hope the Oilers trade for him. I know his numbers are bad this season, but he was solid before this

 

[Yatzhee]

Are teams calling to check for a pulse?

Buffalo won't keep Lehner

Lehner has been fundamentally poor this season. Unless some team thinks they can work him out of whatever stylistic mayhem he's been coached into performing / has decided to do all on his own... good luck.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

buffalo has scored 1 goal in 5 games and they blame lehner lol. Not hasek in his prime would save this team.

I'm still not entirely sure how Edmonton managed to lose to the Sabres, looking totally offensively inept, but put up 8 on Vegas, 7 on Calgary, 6 on the Devils, and 6 on Detroit.

He's a positional goalie. If he has a little more talent, then he can be a good back-up, or a Halak.

sabres could get a 2nd for lehner and a 3rd for johnson imo

Damn auto-correct.

Right now he is terrible at holding the post. I've gone from calling it the AHL side to the Lehner side. Gaps the size of small children between his torso and the post are just inexcusably bad positioning.

That's not how it works, but feel free to fantasize.

Hadn't realized I was being addressed by an NHL GM

You don't have to be an NHL GM to know that hoping for a 1st for Lehner is a pipe dream.

Who's hoping?
Kamina posted they wouldn't mind Lehner back for cheap. My response was a 1st, that is cheap to me.

 

[sabreforlife]

Luongo might be out....Florida may come looking

 

[Pyrophorus]

If we weren't flush, I'd call on Johnson too.

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

Yea, I remember about 6 months ago when Buffalo fans were saying Lehner was better than Crawford.

Good times

Who the f*** was saying that? I have never seen that thought expressed on the Sabres board. They be laughed right out of the forum.

Lehner will bring in a third and a stop gap goaltender.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

One goes to Dallas and the other goes to St. Louis.

I forgot who it was but the basic gist was lehner is already as good as Crawford, he's a better 5v5 goalie, Crawford is overrated because of the teams that played in front of him, lehner is younger with more upside and hasn't peaked yet, and when you factor that in with contract, lehner is better

No team in the league is desperate enough to give up a 1st for Lehner. 2nd or a 3rd and a UFA to be goalie.

 

[Strait2thecup]

I’d hope nyi are calling about Lenher

 

[FerrisRox]

I think Lehner could get a 1st at the deadline

Why on earth would anybody pay even close to that much for Robin Lehner? That's absurd.

 

[Boud]

Just to see if the family is doing well.

 

[SB84]

Lehner is a headcase. Good luck to whichever team acquires him
