having issues doesn’t make it right to have issues and it sure as shit doesn’t mean you get to act like you were the one who was wronged
Thomas Greiss for 2 years until one of Daccord or Gus are ready.Give me any goalie upgrade who isn't going to require a long-term contract.
Nilsson + pick for RaantaGive me any goalie upgrade who isn't going to require a long-term contract.
Throw in Tierney and Stepan and then its a deal!Nilsson + pick for Raanta
I like Nilsson, but Raanta serves the same purpose, costs less in dollars, is more likely to be a 4-5 year solution, probably won't require big assets, and can be a better deadline piece if he wants out.
So i take it you have a pretty limited understanding of mental health
Btw...a bad influence on younger players....when he was here he was a younger player
Exactly what i was about to write !!! lolThrow in Tierney and Stepan and then its a deal!
He was a disaster and contributed to the party down who cares attitude that saw everyone fall apart and leave town.
That is not a risk worth taking.
He was a bad influence on younger players no matter the reasons given and he even took a shot at the sens basically acting like they are bad people because they asked him to stop being a bad influence on the young players.
I mean his comments sounded like he accepts zero blame for his own behavior... having issues doesn’t make it right to have issues and it sure as shit doesn’t mean you get to act like you were the one who was wronged
Well someone doesn't have a clue what addiction does to a person.
I think you make valid points. If (and it’s a big if in my opinion) somebody signs him long term, I bet they will regret it.Ya right, again I do that’s why I would not sign him. You think an addict did nothing to become an addict?
At least when reflecting back take some responsibility but to just play innocent and ‘blame’ the sens and try to shame them for telling him he is messing up and bringing others down with him.
Lame, I mean it’s not the end of the world and it does not make him garbage but addicts are a risk to do it again and mental illness is a long struggle that causes issues forever. When investing millions on the main piece that is something I would personally avoid.
Given how Lehner has played in the playoffs & the Fleury situation my guess is that Vegas re-signs him. If Ottawa signs a goalie they have to get rid of a goalie & I'm not sure that Lehner is that much better than Nilsson on a shitty team.
We've seen Lehner have some crappy games too & I've always liked Lehner but he's not at the top of the NHL's best goalies. I would much rather see Ottawa go after a proven winner like Matt Murray who might just need a change of scenery & Ottawa has a lot of tradable assets right now. Or draft the best goalie prospect in a decade (Askarov) & develop him along with all the good young prospects for a future contending team.
Without looking at their cap situation, I think it makes sense for Vegas to sign Lehner and likely expose Fleury again.
right right forgot about that thanksVegas players aren't eligible for the expansion draft.
