[Cali Panthers Fan]

As to Lehner: DO NOT WANT! I think a combination of Rittich and Gillies is already an upgrade on him. At least our guys battle through the tough stretches and find a way to be competitive. I've seen Lehner give up far too often to think he could ever be a starter. I definitely don't want him to bridge the gap until Smith is back.

The only reason to get Lehner is if Smith is done for the year or longer. God, I hope that's not the case.

As for Kane: I'M TORN.

I like his abilities on the ice. He can score, skate, and mix it up physically. The Flames would also be getting him for more than just this season as per Conroy's comments, which has me worried. I know that people can mature to a certain extent, but I'm also a believer that some leopards just don't change their spots no matter how much time has passed.(See Burrows, Alex). I worry that the carefully cultivated culture of the Flames could be disrupted by a Kane. I don't think it's worth it just for a little extra offense.
