[Report] The Sabres Will Not Qualify Lehner


Recommended Posts

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.

This definitely came as a surprise to me. I can't see him being a free agent for too long after July 1st.

Probably go to STL or OTT now that they are shopping Anderson

Ottawa was the team that unceremoniously dumped him a few years ago.  He'd only sign with them if they were his last NHL resort.

Tanev and Nilsson for Reinhart.

That's actually a really good proposal.  Could we make the deal even bigger, and include a Sutter swap for ROR too?

Tanev + Nilsson + Sutter for Reinhart and ROR?
