Robin Lehner has played 107 games in 6 years.

He has never played more than 36 games in a season.

He has never won more than 12 games in a season.




- Losman



He's 25. How many games did you expect him to play before the concussion 2 years ago, when he was 23?

gotta think risto and mccabe get a little better

kulikov is an upgrade over pysyk

if the D was a 6 on a scale from 1-10 last year, if healthy they have to be close to a 7 this year

- homiedclown

And could get some chemistry and confidence ,could be an 8. How many wins short of the playoffs were we last season ?

As long as you're at it please tell me who the 2015 21st overall pick is playing for this year.

Or you can start with the abbreviation of the League he plays in.

Colin White

Talent Analysis
White is a dominating two-way centre with elite hockey IQ. He has incredible anticipation and awareness, and his offensive skill-set gives him plenty of upside. He is a total-package prospect and a character player who looks great with a letter on his chest. Good hands make him a good shooter and a better stickhandler, and he makes creative yet safe moves. He shuts down opponent rushes and generates offense from the defensive zone out.

Future
White could become the team’s top-line center in the future, but with the position locked up for the next few seasons in Ottawa, there is no rush—and he will have plenty of time to develop with Boston College.

Even if it's a 6.5 or even a 6 still that's not worse.

I'd still love to get Fowler but if this is what we have I say let's go, I'm not going to sit here and go "Woe is me I'm ready to let in 300 goals this year"

Over Gorges? I see it as an improvement 7 days of the week. You took your 2nd defender and made him your 6th. That's better.
- Zschalberg

But replaced him with another guy playing a role above his head.

Risto needed someone who can help move the puck out of the zone. Kulikov doesn't do it that well. He's another thumper who doesn't really provide offense.

I like him, but as a partner to Bogo on a 2nd pair.

And that's fine, but what we have isn't the end of the world either. It's not like in the 21 games Lehner played he looked horrendous. He looked great when he played.

He got hurt in game 1. Allegedly he wasn't able to work out in the offseason and that got him hurt. If he can this year I don't expect him getting hurt as easily.

And if he does there are still options out there. Dallas and Pittsburgh have goalies available. Enroth is still a Free agent. Ullmark is there.

Roll with Lehner, hope he plays 60 games. If he doesn't we get up in arms then

Hodgson has developed into a fine two-way player. Hodgson is an extremely smart player who uses all of his skills in both ends of the ice. Excellent skater, very strong on the puck, can quarterback the powerplay. Hodson has very good hands and excellent on ice-vision.

Future
He has first-line talent.

I'd rather be playing third base for the Orioles.

Sometimes you have to play the cards you're dealt, or at least ones that are in the deck.

Lehner looked average to me, nothing more nothing less


my bigger fear is we don't have a goalie to challenge him next year unless Ullmark forces Murray to make him stay with the big club by playing outstanding in training camp

So Lehner isn't injury prone, and Colin White is Cody Hodgson. Great trade then. It's settled
