Islanders have one of the best goalie coaches in the league and all they were willing to offer was a 2 year, $5million AAV contract. That tells you something.
If Lehner can put up another great season, then he absolutely deserves big term and money on his next contract next year, but right now, he is a big question mark, about as big a question mark to me as Cam Talbot or Mike Smith.

One of the best goalie coaches in the league and “all they were willing to offer was” $2-3 million more per season than Smith and Talbot??? With an additional year?
Yeah, it tells me he’s a significantly better goalie than Smith or Talbot.
