It would take serious guts not to qualify your starting goalie and let him walk. I wouldn't hate it, but it's hard to imagine them doing it.

That's not what Pittsburgh did though. They had every intention of re-signing him.

I get that, but there's a lot of differences.

Definitely, just saying it's an option.

Sure, but not only does it risk losing him for nothing, it almost guarantees it.

again not a fan of putting 2 and 2 together with these scouting appearances but the sabres had 2 at the Hawks game tonight.

They had sent a few to their AHL affiliate over the last little while as well.

Over the last few weeks they've called up both Erik Gustafsson and Carl Dahlstrom, 25 and 23 year old d-men


Given that Dahlstrom was a scratch tonight might be looking at Gustafsson

Itsnot just kane though. Remember last year? Gmtm wanted more for franson and kulikov so he didnt trade them and they walked in the offseason.
- TheHank

GMTN couldn't get ANYTHING for those two guys last year. There was ZERO interest . and rightfully so.

A lot of dead weight on this roster. How many pieces can JB get rid of at the deadline. Kane for sure, Pou is likely, Robyn less so. Girgs? Larsson? Gorges?

Five would be great. Two at the absolute minimum. Hoping JB doesn't Darcy himself into waiting too long.

White people...

it's funny captain Jack is pointing to Kane and Lehner as the biggest reasons we are no good, paraphrasing


there are much bigger issues on the ice than those 2

GMJE needs to focus on getting healthy and staying healthy. I'm far more concerned about the horrid D corps than a forward who be on the team for two more days and a goalie who won't be on the team next year.

How many players off the current roster do you think he ships out at the deadline?

They're as big. The starting goalie isn't a starting goalie. The guy they brought in to be a difference maker hasn't made a difference outside of December.

I am not the biggest lehner fan

but

at worst, he is an average goalie
at worst kane is an average winger


30th place does not equate to average

4 roster players

not saying there aren't other big problems but when your prize acquisition has as many goals 5v5 by the end of Feb as Benoit Balls, that's just as big of a problem.
