Assuming we're still in a playoff spot come the deadline and feel like we can do some damage come April, I still don't think Murray(s) do too much.

Needs: Maybe a goalie (Auld's been brutal and if Anderson goes down we're cooked unless Lehner comes up)

You answer your own question. Lehner will come up if Anderson gets hurt...I don't see any scenario where we go trade for another goalie, unless BOTH Anderson AND Lehner get hurt long-term, AND Auld continues to stink it up.

Lehner will be here next year, and I'm sure Murray wouldn't mind getting him into more NHL games this season if presented the opportunity. It's not like Bingo is going anywhere anyways.

Lehner will definitely come up if Anderson gets hurt (at least, that's what BM said at the beginning of the season), but we very well may need to pick up another backup if anything happens to Auld. Of course, by "anything happens" I mean "if he continues to get starts."

If he's not winning games in Bingo then why would he be winning games here ?

If it wasn't for waivers they'd be better off calling McKenna up and let Lehner get his Dung together in Bingo.

He wouldn't but at least fans could blame some veterans they don't care about for the losses, like Carkner or maybe Konopka.

They'll blame Lehner, we're not exactly kind to our goalies in this town.

Maybe Don Brennan (Ottawa Sun NHL Entry Draft expert) will call him a "garbage pick" as well.

"Nice way to show your thanks to the fans for their support," said Brian Samuel, a regular ticket-buying customer at Scotiabank Place who was sitting in Level 2 wearing a Senators jersey and surrounded by his buddies in Leafs and Blackhawks colours.

"That's a garbage pick. They could have had him in the second round."

Exactly, he found someone saying what he wanted to say, he even used that quote as the headline for maximum effect.

Seems made up too. What would a Leafs fan be doing at a draft?

If you did 08 NHL Draft over (R1) here's my guess: 1.Stamkos 2.Doughty 3.Myers 4.Hodgson 5.Bogosian 6.Gardiner 7.Alex P 8.Eberle 9.Schenn

Same thing they do at Sens games (when the Leafs aren't playing) ?

Leaf fans are amusing. Greg Brady on Fan 590 (https://twitter.com/#!/bradyfan590) did a re-draft of the 2008 Entry Draft and ranked Jake Gardiner above Karlsson. Even Ian Mendes got into a bit of a spat with him over that.

Hilarious how the media down in TO downplays everything on the Sens and upsells anything on the Leafs.

Karlsson won't play in the NHL for a year or two or three, if he ever does. Real tough to get excited about him now.
