Right after I watched TD and SYTYCD, but before HIMYM reruns and a couple epsiodes of the new season of OITNB.

I don't think any team looking for a backup is going to be in on the "Lehner sweepstakes".  The asking price in a trade is going to be pretty high for a backup...you'd be better off just signing an Alex Auld type in free agency.

Agreed.

Joey MacDonald, Rob Zepp, Matt Hackett, Lindback, Greiss, Bryzgalov, LaBarbera, Clemmensen, Nabokov, Ramo, Svedberg, Emery, Leighton, Harding, Ellis, McElhinney, Bachman, Fasth, Gustavsson, Leggio, and Enroth are available.

That's basically the backup pool. Those guys are all UFA according to NHL numbers.

How many of those guys:
a) are less than 24 years old
b) have won a Calder cup
c) have a .915 save percentage in the NHL (.923 over the last four seasons)
d) are 6'4", 225 lbs

Lots of reasons to like Lehner. He is just about to enter his prime.

Is that right?  Diddle, I didn't realize that.

Hmm. That would actually be a pretty good fit for Lehner, on paper anyway.
