.923 Sv%, better High danger Sv% than Lehner.
I don't see the big drop off - sbroads24
He was pretty bad in the 2nd half though
And we played a very conservative style to help shelter our goalies for the first 20 games or so |

would you do those two deals? - Sabresfan-365
Of course.
Lehner is a middle of the road starter. I'd take a 3rd.
I really don't care who our goalie is unless he's top 5 or bottom 5 |

No cap hit though. Moulson would count against the cap for the next two years. - Mentalorgasm5
Vegas will have all kinds of Cap room
I doubt that's a concern |

Supposedly taking UFA Englund from Calgary
Assuming that means Calgary is giving them a pick
Vegas probably liked that pick more than whoever they could take from Calgary, presumably Shinkaruk, Poirier or Stajan - jdfitz77
From their list... I probably would have taken Elliot honestly. A solid #2 that can play more games if needed.
Bollig, Bouma, Brouwer, Chiasson, Shinkaruk, Stajan, Versteeg, Vey, Bartkowski, Stone.
A few other options depending on what way they were going |

That's who I'd have taken too
BUT...
pretty sure he'd have to clear waivers
So if they didn't see him making the NHL roster,
better to have the pick than lose him for nothing - jdfitz77
Odds are they don't have an issue with finding room on the roster for any borderline NHLers. |

lehner one i figured. there's a part of me that would be tempted to just keep three 2nd rounders. I like Valimaki/tolvanen though |

If there was a Vegas Mode in NHL 18 where you got to do the Expansion Draft...
ohhhh boy... I bet it would the most popular thing in the game. |

I actually have heard that they are not keen on Foligno. His bridge deal is already over 3M which is already overpaying for what he does.
I have never thought he wasn't replacable by an ELC type guy. Especially Fashing. - JVince11
Foligno is a RFA
His qualifying offer is just under 2.5mil
He could agree to a deal for less than that though
I see what ya mean,
but none of those young guys have done much in the NHL yet
Foligno has been pretty solid for about 2yrs now,
and we know he can chip in 10+ goals
This contract will say a lot towards what J Botts thinks of him |

Maybe in a vacuum, but they have a lot of goalie options
Also,
He's a UFA
Maybe Vegas spoke to him & he said "no thanks" |

I think that the likes of Bailey, Baptiste, Nylander, Fasching, and maybe this Smith will wash away the Folignos, Larssons, D-Los, of our team.

Yea I tried that.... it's just too time consuming to actually work the deals and stuff. |

Potentially, just gonna take some time imo for the young guys to establish themselves enough that we can send off Foligno, etc

If someone trades for Lehner,
it's for him to be their starter
We should be able to get a 2nd
I want us to call Detroit about Mrazek
I know he sucked last year behind a sh!tty team,
but he's young & has been really good up till then
What's his high danger save % look like? |

Corsica is down, so I don't know. There might be another site but I haven't poked around.

Kane - Eichel - Reino
Nylander - ROR - Okposo
Fasching - Aspland - Baptiste/Baptiste
Is kind of how I see our team in 1-2 years if Kane resigns. If Kane doesn't resign then we need big help on the left side.

Sabres365 seems to get good stats on goalies
I really like Mrazek though from what I've watched
He's a legit franchise goalie for us imo
Still young too, 25 I think? |

Makes sense by Vegas
Young guy, 23/24?
Was surprised the Bruins didn't protect him |
