He's had one good year. The Isles, with all their inside knowledge of the guy, was only willing to offer a 2 year deal. They want to see more than one year because they understand there is risk.
I'm not defending Talbot or Smith or saying they are better. I'm saying there is as much risk for all 3 goalies. Lehner, coming off a better season than the other two, warrants the premium.

I like the Talbot deal.
I didn’t understand the statement “that tells you something” when you opened with how much goalie knowledge the Isles have, and how they offered more money and term than anyone else. That tells me, no question marks there for them.
Also, saying he’s only had one good season is rubbish.
