Who wouldn't like that?

But it's not going to happen.

Look at the goalie contracts that have been handed out.

Lehner is going to get a decent raise. He will be making over $4 million next season.

yeah.. is he really taht much better than chad johnson though? i feel like he still has more to prove to be making much over 4

Here is an interesting one.

So Connor Brown from Toronto Maple Leafs, current RFA

They are ~$4mil over cap. Can be 10% over (then they have LTIR of around $10mil) for the summer, so around $7.5 over. Which means, $3.55 and they cant sign him without completing a trade. Is anyone interested in something like that with Connor Brown?

$3.55 is a second round pick in compensation...

He was already making $3.15 million

His save percentages the last 2 seasons

.924(only 21 games)
.920 (59 games)

80 games

Johnson

.920 (45 games) Buffalo
.910 (36 games) Calgary

81 games

You could make the argument Buffalo's system helped out both but an arbitrator isn't going to buy into that...

Botterill liked him when he was with Pittsburgh...or does that joke not work because it's not Murray?

1 year prove it deal for Lehner under a new system isn't a bad idea.

Let's see how he handles a more up tempo team with a more active blue line.

If he handles his own then put it to bed and lock him up for another 4 years.

I won't lie I love his intensity, but I don't want him to get too involved in that stuff. He got baited by Burrows last year pretty good.

But he is one bad MOFO

I feel like he needs to get in one actual, good fight. Either he'll get knocked down and cool it, or demolish the guy and people will leave him alone

I really wish scrivens would have skated down the ice to him. Lehner would have destroyed him

The Leafs are most likely looking to improve their blue line.

With JVR going into his last year on his deal he is going to get paid pretty well, what team is out there that can afford to move a top 4 defensemen and have the space to be able to sign him long term?

I just don't see the market for them at this moment.

I would love a player like him here to play with Jack (not gonna happen)

There is a reason no other goalie has skated down towards him.

They know better

Emery would probably win, Lehner would be too amped up!

They wouldn't trade him in the division and they would ask for Risto
