Drive-By Body Pierce Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 WGR 550: cites TSN’s Bob McKenzie reporting the Buffalo Sabres are not expected to tender a qualifying offer to restricted free agent goaltender Robin Lehner. The due date for qualifying offers is June 25, making Lehner an unrestricted free agent after that date. SPECTOR’S NOTE: This is a surprising development, indicating the Sabres will be in the market for someone to share the goaltending duties with promising Linus Ullmark. Lehner posted decent numbers in three seasons playing for lousy Sabres’ rosters, but he has an injury history and his performance tends to be streaky. There are several other NHL clubs in need of goaltending help (including the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Islanders) who could pursue Lehner via free agency on July 1. https://www.spectorshockey.net/2018/06/nhl-morning-coffee-headlines-june-22-2018/ This definitely came as a surprise to me. I can't see him being a free agent for too long after July 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 He actually has decent overall stats, even if last year was not his best. I'm actually kind of surprised by this. I know they are going forward with Ulmark, but I would have expected them to qualify him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baratheon Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 He's a solid pick up for a team that needs goaltending help but I'm not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awalk Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Why not just qualify him and trade for even a low end draft pick? Maybe no one wants him ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
