That Aud Smell Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Once the purge I'm sure is coming is over, it will. Hint: his name is Kyle... The team’s captain is going to be a player who, despite dogged effort, is constantly behind the play, snake bitten with finishing, and, most likely, chronically overpaid? Sounds about right for Tank 2: Sneak Attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 The next captain? Casey Mittelstadt was born with the tattoo of a "C" over his heart. To hockey people, the C means Captain. In his homeworld, "C" is a symbol for Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Interesting. Neuvirth is on IR. Would the Sabres get Elliott and then put the Elliott/Johnson duo back in action (from Calgary last year). I think they were both there right?

Would the Sabres get Elliott and then put the Elliott/Johnson duo back in action (from Calgary last year). I think they were both there right? I could see that. Neuvirth wont be on IR long and Elliott hasn't really been getting it done for the Flyers. Philly doesn't have the cap space for Lehner though, so we'd have to be getting something else from them as well. I think if we're doing this it's because we aren't interested in signing Lehner at the end of the season. Elliott has another year left on his deal and if the combo here is Johnson/Elliott next year then that opens things up for Ullmark to compete for the starting job.

I'd be even happier if they got back Neuvirth honestly. I'm not an Elliott fan. Sabres could eat salary on Lehner to move him. I don't think they are interested in him. I think their plan is Ullmark but they don't want him up here until next year so he can backstop the Amerks playoff run. Elliott and Neuvirth are 2.75 and 2.5M. It frees up some space. There's probably enough to squeeze. Perhaps it's Lehner and a pick for a returning goaltender and a D prospect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have Neuvirth too, but it's a tough sell given that we'd immediately have to call Ullmark up for a few weeks. I don't want to mess with the Amerks at all, so Elliott it is. I think this move would mean Ullmark is in the plans for next year. No reason to lock Lehner down then, so might as well move him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) i dont see there being any value for lehner, honestly. any breakaway or slap shot not hit directly at him will go in. :angel: Edited December 6, 2017 by fettmanlitenkappa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see Lehner off the team.The more I've thought about it the more I liken Lehner to Tyrod. They're both passionate players with an average skill-set but they're never going to step up and single handily win you a game, which is what you need from those positions sometimes (esp. if you have aspirations of playoffs and beyond).

dudacek Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Lehner for Robert Hagg or a similar second-tier D prospect would be my best guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
