Two or less Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Sylvester... Legwand US born, Eichel US born = This is a good thing. LOL Comic relief at its finest. lol yeah those guys are brutal. Quote
nucci Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 I would honestly have less of an issue if this was 21 for Lehner. As I like the guy, despite it being an overpayment. It is legwand that posses me off. A useless bench filler that is now taking the spot for one of our better and younger players. I would prefer Larsson playing third line than in Rochester, so Legwand can continue. If we got Legwand as a salary dump then that means Lehner was worth more than 21. Lehner hasn't been able to ride a bike in 6 months because of his concussion If you're ok with the 21st for Lehner, who would taking a salary for Ottawa bother you? This guy probably ends up in Rochester Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun 1m1 minute ago Sabres fan give this trade a chance. Lehner still has loads of upside. Your GM knows him well. You've got lots of picks. Don't judge yet Quote
That Aud Smell Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 fwiw Chris Johnston @reporterchris I know the price was steep, but a lot of scouts are still very high on Robin Lehner. An interesting trade to revisit two years hence. 10:29am · 26 Jun 2015 · Twitter for iPhone Lehner hasn't been able to ride a bike in 6 months because of his concussion I'll second the call for a source.

Hoss Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Aaaaaaaaand I'm over it. 21st is gone. We have our goalie of the now and the future. We're good. Let's go. Quote
LabattBlue Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 If you go to the HF Sens boards, while the overriding sentiment is that they like the deal, there is a fair amount of pessimism about trading Lehner in the division and having it come back to haunt them. They are being nice. #21 for a concussed goalie and a cap dump. LOL Quote
Claude_Verret Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 presumably, he scouted and drafted the guy Yes, but the sentiment I got was enamored to the point where he believes he will be a top tier elite netminder. Which he damn well better turn out to be. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) cut and pasted from cbs sports: Sens' Lehner Recovered From Concussion (6/8/15) Robin Lehner indicated last week that he was no longer feeling the effects of a concussion and should enjoy a relatively normal offseason, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports. Sens' Lehner Not Over Concussion Yet (4/29/15) Senators GM Bryan Murray said Robin Lehner (concussion) is still experiencing headaches, TSN's Brent Wallace reports. Sens' Lehner Still Has Concussion Symptoms (3/6/15) Robin Lehner continues to suffer from concussion symptoms, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports. Sens' Lehner Diagnosed With Concussion (2/20/15) Coach Dave Cameron announced Friday that Robin Lehner's upper-body injury has been diagnosed as a concussion, Wayne Scanlan of the Ottawa Citizen reports. Edit: That was a serious concussion, folks. two months or more of symptoms. good to hear he's feeling better now. but . . . Edited June 26, 2015 by That Aud Smell Quote
LabattBlue Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Aaaaaaaaand I'm over it. 21st is gone. We have our goalie of the now and the future. We're good. Let's go. What happens when the next concussion occurs? Darcy Lieuwen ring a bell? Quote
GoPre Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Legwand, if they keep him, could also be seen as a good mentor for Eichel. He knows what it's like to be a #2 pick in the league. I don't hate what they got, I just hate the value they gave up to get it. Agreed. 31st pick is a "1st rounder." I would've been content w/ that....I think. Now we have one heck of pick to look forward to tonight, but that's it. Had plans of yelling w/ excitement when Eichel is picked and having a feeling of my gosh what is next! And now, it's watch the Eichel selection and move onto a typical Friday. Yay.... Quote
bob_sauve28 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Aaaaaaaaand I'm over it. 21st is gone. We have our goalie of the now and the future. We're good. Let's go. Me too! Let's go Sabres! Quote

Trettioåtta Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Source? Ok I can only find this back in April - still 2 months. Plus I know he only recently returned to proper practice https://twitter.com/reporterchris/status/593424530791657472 Quote

I don't hate what they got, I just hate the value they gave up to get it. Hamilton also added, Legwand may be needed as help to get to the cap floor. They don't need help to get to the cap floor!!!

I can think of plenty of other players I'd rather have to get to the floor. Great, another GM in love with his goaltenders. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 So Lehner just recently stopped having concussion symptoms.... that's just great Quote
Trettioåtta Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 June 4th was when Lehner was cleared to practice again. Concussion was February 17th That said, I have actually wanted us to land Lehner for the past 3 years (Helm is my other desire). So the price was steep, but I will manage Quote
LabattBlue Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun 1m1 minute ago Sabres fan give this trade a chance. Lehner still has loads of upside. Your GM knows him well. You've got lots of picks. Don't judge yet This crap pisses me off, and what I didn't like about the Kings and Jets trades. Just because you have a lot of picks, you don't have to hand them out like candy. Quote
The Dominator Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 On WGR: Murray is still trying to be very active... If he still had 21st overall it would be much easier to be active... Quote
That Aud Smell Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 I will say: This is a serious test of faith. So many of us - me included - admired the ZFG approach from GM TM. This is, at bottom, as ZFG a move as you could imagine. So, if you were on board for the ZFG regime, and I was (am), then, well, this is what it will feel like sometimes. June 4th was when Lehner was cleared to practice again. Concussion was February 17th Oy. Quote

SabresBillsFan Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 I agree they don't need help getting to the cap floor. Let's see what bonehead move Murray makes. Grigrenko for a teams third round pick? Hodgson is good as gone for nothing I'm guessing Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted June 26, 2015 Report Posted June 26, 2015 I'd take Anderson over Lehner for that much. Quote
