Id make that trade.

I'd rather have Hiller / Lehner than Lehner / Johnson, 3rd rounder would be worth it to me.

I hate that people are saying this. Yes, the trade would look bad if he was actually playing poorly. But how exactly is the trade bad when the guy gets injured? You can't account for that. Who's to say that Talbot or Lack end up here and have the same type of luck?
- HonkFortheGoose


The biggest knock on Lehner was he could not stay healthy. Yes you cant account for injuries, but yo can use it as a bargaining tool. I hated the trade when it happened. You just dont give up first round picks for goalies, who if you dont have Price or Lundqvist are mostly interchangeable.

Now he is going to be out for a very long time. Neither of those teams gave up a first for a goalie either.

It could be Lieuwen as well. I highly doubt Murray makes a trade.

I wouldn't be so sure. If it is a tear you need someone.

Yeah but those two might cost more if you can hiller here for cheap for a third-round pick you do it

I like ortio but what's the point of getting him when we just traded for a. Young goaltender for a first

Just saw a twitter post by John Shannon from Sportsnet. Lehner's skate got caught in a rut. They won't know much until swelling subsides.

Saw another quoting Bylsma as saying it is more than just day to day.

- HonkFortheGoose

That happened to Kevin poulin a couple years ago and he dislocated his knee cap.

at this point Murray should assume his boy may never come back and be effective


if he likes someone else long term, he should go out and get him

Agree. Flames are carrying three on roster, but if Sabres wanted Hiller they could have signed him as FA. If long term they will make move to bring in goalie.

I really don't care for Lehner and definitely didn't like the trade. I can't imagine a single Lehner has even sold yet.

Yeah. I thought so too. I know many around here don't know much about him still other than he was a mess last year before they shut him down after finding out he was still suffering from the concussion. The little bit I saw of him in preseason made it seem he's definitely in a much better place this year.

Did Makarov even get any game time during camp/preseason here this year? Off the top of my head, I feel like he didn't.

- HonkFortheGoose

I didn't get to really watch any preseason since I live out of town. I thought I remember makarov being on the stat sheet at one point though.

That is true but I would be really pissed off if we wasted a second round pick on another younger goaltender when we just wasted a first-round pick on one

Ya totally man the things you do completly control the fate of pro athletes. I feel I really had a hand in Eichel coming here, cause I ate Apple jacks everyday last year.
