back-up goalie is a hole for tmgm to fill and Johnson's probably not interested in doing it...there will be quite a few backups to be had on the market and said goalie doesn't need to have jhonny-like numbers, just needs to do spot duty...hopefully
- Michael Pachla

we have the back up, just need to extend him (johnson)

the hole is a starting goalie

Not sure what options will be available for Johnson to start.


My guess is he has to take a job where he's the back up to start with.
- dadeadhead

nah, I think someone will give him a shot, or at least give him a 1a/1b opportunity...he wont' get that shot in buffalo

2nd

He is not a starting caliber NHL goaltender.

Fin.

If your backup is a starting caliber goalie, he either won't be your backup for long or he'll be your starter

I have no problem with keeping Lehner as the starter

yup...dallas' goalies flamed out in the playoffs, perhaps he could start out as a 1/b there

Edmonton locked up Talbot so I'd assume they're not looking really, and honestly I think more teams want to look at James Reimer more than Johnson. I mean I'm not bashing Chad at all, but being 30 and having 102 game starts in your career doesn't make me jump to the phone

Tim Thomas had exactly 42 games played before he became Boston's starter at age 32.



Just saying.

I think ewok goes back to the stars

They do like leaving dirty laundry in parking lots though.

isnt that almost done? part of the reason the canadian government devalued their dollar to stop their people from spending their disposable income over here. the exchange on canadian is .77 today, i always got the believed that .7 was REALLY par. they would still save on the taxes, no gst/pst and clothes are taxed at 4% in new york, i believe 0% in PA. its still marginally cheaper to come over here, depending on how aggravating the bridge is, but i think its gotta slow down.

With the cap room they have tied up in Lehtonen and Niemi I'm not sure adding a 1c would be a great idea. I think they're stuck

HOF?

They are in a win now situation.


I'd like to think Burke and Company are smarter than hedging that bet on Johnson.

Yeah I can't imagine Flames fans being too excited about Chad Johnson being the answer

Anyone know of this Edmonton-Sabres trade rumor?

Something about Zach Bogosian?

Correct they wanted to stop cross boarder shopping and bring the movie industry back to Canada.


That said the parking lots are still riddled in dirty laundry.

It was Bogosian and 8th for Griffin Reinhart and 4th.

Speaking of Canadians, any update on the last Hip tour? I heard it will only be places in Canada.

Thanks, I have been checking Facebook and Twitter, didn't actually search. Disappointed they're not playing here.
