GARTH'S CORNER: Sabres Re-Sign Lehner

1 year

1 year because after 1 year he's still a RFA, under Sabres' control. If it was 2 years, or more, he would be UFA. Smart, show me, contract.

Better hope you don't go to any shootouts.

Perfect deal for the Sabres. Show us what you got Robbie.

So i wonder what Murray would have signed him for 5-6M for 3 years i bet

Smart move. A year from now you might be happy about it.

no way, this is the Internet man, nobody is every happy on the internet. A year from now it will either be "What a waste, we should have had Ullmark up the whole year" or "Why did we only sign him for 1 year last year, after his awesome season he is going to be demanding way more money, we could have gotten a much better deal last year"

who are the 6 legit nhl dman?

Here we go again....Apparently four of either Beaulieu, Antipin, Bogosian, Gorges, Brendan Guhle and Justin Falk with RR and McCabe now give the Sabres "six legit NHL Dmen".

Beaulieu was a healthy scratch in last years playoffs for Habs.
Antipin is an undersized, 25 yr old, unproven rookie from Russia
Bogosian would be traded for a bag of pucks if another team made the offer.
Gorges is now an AHL caliber Dman. Can't skate at NHL level
Guhle has promise but will still be a 20 yr old rookie. Could be soild, could be AHL
Falk is a 28 yr old journeyman who is now on his 4th team in four years
