Travis Yost: Guessing the Goalies
- Travis Yost
I think this is Andersons job to lose heading into the season.. I can also see Lehner taking the next steps necessary to challenge for the #1 spot as well.
Lehner is still very young as he just turned 23 a month ago, he has a lot to learn. & who better to teach him than veteran Anderson.
I hope they give Andy a contract extension mid season if all is going well. You can never have to much strenth at the goalie position (save for Vancouver last year)
when Lehner is ready to fully take the #1 job (60+games) in 2 seasons, we'll still have a good backup signed in Andy. now the question is how much will he want on what will most likely be his last NHL contract? he could be lights out like 2 seasons ago & want big $$$ & term or he could be average like last year & get a fair deal from the Sens.
I'm excited to see how this all plays out this season in Ottawa.. A lot of unanswered questions for a team that looked to be on the way up for 2 seasons into the 3 year rebuild, but had a small setback last year. get your popcorn out folks its going to be a good one.
