Lehner is an above average goalie that will hopefully be playing for a different team by the end of the season. Seems like an ok guy but he isn't worth much more than a 3rd round pick at the deadline. Ullmark is our goalie of the future, but I'm hoping we trade for an above average goalie in the off-season (whose name doesn't rhyme with Bobbin Gainer) and run a 1a-1b goalie tandem next year to ease him into NHL starter action.
IF Lehner's traded, do you keep Linus in Rochester for the sake of development/keeping him in the winning culture, or do you acquire another rental goalie to split with Johnson?
To me anyway, trading Lehner at this point would be a sign that this season is a tank/writeoff given CJ's inferior play. I'm fine either way keeping/trading him, but Lehner, flaws and all, gives this team its' best (slim) hopes of winning.
