I don't disagree, I think it could go very very bad because this fanbase has no patience for bad goaltending but at the same time if he's good they will worship him.I could see that happening too, although I’m not exactly confident Lehner wouldn’t completely lose it playing in TO.
I spend a lot of the winter in the desert these days, so I follow them closer than most. It’s insane how many are still angry about the Fleury thing. To the point of not normal.I don't disagree, I think it could go very very bad because this fanbase has no patience for bad goaltending but at the same time if he's good they will worship him.
I’d agree under normal circumstances but it’s the Knights we’re talking about. They’ll look up and down the roster and won’t move guys they’ve acquired. Their history tell us they’ll make a couple significant moves. He’s one of their guys who fits in that scenario.
I’m a build your D and the rest will be much easier to deal with. It’s why I’m so high on Detroit’s future with all those young dmen they’ve drafted. Occasionally though, top pairing guys become available, and they are so into the Eichel piece, they may very well pop if someone comes along and offers a Nylander to play with him.
We shall see but I wouldn’t rule anything out with Vegas. I think they may try to move Lehner too. They’ve put him in an almost no win situation with their fanbase and he’s not exactly the most stable of goaltenders to begin with.
If I were a Knights fan, I’d be a little concerned on what they may do. I wouldn’t put it past them to go get Billington. They’re the most unpredictable of teams. What we know though, is they will be active.

I think Vegas cap dumps some players and then tries to bring in Forsberg on a big money contract. Gotta chase that shiny new toy.
I was thinking this the other day. They'd get a decent return still plus would help cap. He'd be perfect for someone like Ottawa if he was willing to stay but they'd probably be on his list.Any chance Pacioretty is dangled?
Lehner is a good goalie and if you put him on this team, they are probably 1st in the division, not 2nd because goaltending has cost them 15-20 points.
Vegas' cap issues are exaggerated.
Buying out Dadonov+dumping Broissoit+cap going up 1 mil gives them about 6 mil to re-sign Roy,Kolesar, and fill in the rest with ELCs.
The unfortunate thing for them is that they'll probably have to trade Hague.
This is the most stereotypical Leafs fan claim of all time.
No, goaltending wasn't the difference between where the Leafs are now, and literally being the best regular season team by record in NHL history, lmfao.
An extra 15-20 points puts you between 130-135. The most ever were 131 by the 95-96 Red Wings, followed by 128 by the Lightning a few years ago lol.
Pietrangelo isn't waiving for Vancouver, And it's very doubtful Theodore is moved.Canucks will take Pietrangelo or Theodore.
yes it did cost them a minimum of 15 points, they had the worst goaltending in the league from December- about Mid April.
They got through that because they had the #2 offense in the league so they got away with it
but yes had they gotten league average goaltending from December-April they would not be #2 in the Atlantic they would have been #1 in the Atlantic
Goaltending cost this team A LOT people like you just don't see it because on most nights they offense overcame it.
I mean because people act like they have to sacrifice big parts of their team to get under the cap, when that's really not the case.How is it exaggerated? They have to get rid of guys, and not bring anyone in. Money out, none in, unless they trade money out.

The 1976-77 Canadiens would like to have a word with you...So admit it. You think this is the greatest regular season team in NHL history if not for goaltending. Lmfao. This. This is why people rip your fanbase to shreds every damn year. God damn I hope you lose in the first round again.
Again. Most all time is 131 points, followed by 128.
If the offense overcame it that would suggest that the team won despite the goaltending. Ie the goaltending didn't cost them the points no?yes it did cost them a minimum of 15 points, they had the worst goaltending in the league from December- about Mid April.

I’m not sure if Lehner has a NTC but in the past he would not like playing for the Maple Leafs. That was from 2021 so not sure if his opinion has changed.Id there is a deal with the Leafs I think it's for Lehner because regardless of what happens with Campbell they need a goalie, they can't bring back Marazek.
and that could go bad fast.
Lehner is a good goalie and if you put him on this team, they are probably 1st in the division, not 2nd because goaltending has cost them 15-20 points.
But Lehner also has mental issues and we know that so I have always wondered what a goalie with mental issues + Leaf fans+Leafs Media = and that could equal = very VERY bad things, but it also could equal very very good things because if he did play well he would be treated like a god.
If he ever struggled though that could get dark.
