seems teams want prospects/picks if trading a d man to protect the rest of their core for expansion

flames called sabres on lehner


lots of chatter from various teams, it's heating up

Jaques Martin coaching this team might be the cure for my sleep apnea.

Lehner is not the problem though...

you're talking about the same franchise that openly tanked to get Mario Lemieux...and Lemieux was the owner of the pens at the time they drafted Crosby...

the nhl knew for years that Crosby was a once in a generation player, so did the pens, so did lemieux
- Michael Pachla

The 2005 draft was different because it was after a lockout. There was no tanking to get Crosby.

"He was being touted as the greatest player since the Great One himself.

It all began on Jul 22, 2005. Because of the season being cancelled due to the lockout, each team had a chance to pick the most anticipated young player to grace the NHL entry draft in more than a decade. Every franchise was given three balls in the lottery, with one being removed from those teams that had been to the playoffs or had drafted first overall in the previous four years.

The New York Rangers, Buffalo Sabres, Columbus Blue Jackets and Pittsburgh Penguins went into the 2005 NHL Draft Lottery with the best shot at the first overall pick — and a generational talent.

That young player was #87 Sidney Crosby, born on the 7th day of the 8th month of 1987, and the team that got him was the Pittsburgh Penguins."

Lehner is not the problem though...

But is he the solution?
I don't necessarily want I'm traded, but I'm ok with it
Especially if it's a good return

Anybody hear of Kane to Isles rumours ? Saw something yesterday but didn't know the validity.

Ugh. That would be a real letdown. Bylsma 2.0 without a Cup as HC on his resume.

i would assume some stuff would go down before this weekend to cover the expansion draft issues.. isnt that this weekend?

do we think Ullmark is the solution.. i don't mind either one moving forward. but i like the fact that lehner has more experience. unless some other goalie is in the works? there would have to be because we need a back up or starter for the NHL if lehner is moved

Final protection lists are due Saturday. So technically yes.

Going to be a crazy week.

I read something about Dal Colle+, but I'm glad they didn't take that.

I wish he had better rebound control, but he is intensely competitive, and I think that translates into willingness to work to improve.

I have always been a fan. I hope they keep him.

Jacques Martin does not have ball drive.

I don't see a reason to trade lehner unless it's to appease Peterson. For all the flack he gets, I believe our goalie tandem was top 10 in sv%

- Der Kaiser

although ullmark is younger and he may get better.. his rebound control isn't great either.. but it is better.. he seems to steer them more to the corner than right back in front of him..
