I think if we get Lehner, I think it will cost us 45+one of our 3rds and we'll have to take back Greening or Legwand. Personally, I would do that trade as there is no guarantee any of Gillies/Ortio/McDonald will be ready by 2016/17 for starting duties and I seriously doubt Hiller will be re-signed after this year. Better to be proactive and fix the hole before it becomes a hole.
Lehner is still young, has untapped potential, has 2 years remaining on his current deal and is an RFA after it expires. He would be a great guy to target IMO. Another guy I wonder about is Martin Jones in LA, haven't heard much about him but there is no way he'll ever be the #1 guy in LA unless Quick declines or leaves. Regardless, whether it's Jones or Lehner or someone else, a 22-25 year old goalie of some sort should be a major trade target for this team, so we don't run into trouble with goaltending 15 months from now. Not that I doubt any of our 3 prospect goalies, but they are all still so very young and the worst thing you can do to a young goalie is make him a starter in the NHL before he's ready, and most goalies simply aren't ready for that until 23 or 24 at the earliest. Like it or not, there is an organizational gap at this position at the moment.
