JohnC Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Mittelstadt should be on the roster by then as well. Both Mittelstadt and Nylander are exciting prospects to wait for. I wouldn't be surprised to see Nylander being called up this season. I see Guhle being called up this year if he doesn't make the big club when the season starts.

26CornerBlitz Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 7-25: ROBIN LEHNER ON WGR (12:14) #Sabres goalie Robin Lehner joins @TheInstigators next on WGR!Lehner - I'm very excited to get another year in Buffalo. I'm happy here, I like this team a lot, & there's a lot of potential here #SabresLehner - at the end of the day, I wanted to be in Buffalo. I want to keep building with this team. 1-year is fine. #SabresLehner - I'm confident in my abilities to be a good goalie in this league. I'm going to focus on this season and see what happens #SabresLehner - last year was a big disappointment. I've taken some time this offseason to let that sink in. #SabresLehner - I've had a good talk with Botterill and Housley, I'm excited with the direction this team is heading #SabresLehner - I'm very happy Andrew Allen is still here in Buffalo. We've worked well together and he's helped my game. #SabresLehner - I think team success can lead to personal success. We have to keep working together and see where it takes us #Sabres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 So what is Lehner's status at end of next year? Is he still RFA and eligible for arbitration again? On the surface, I really like this deal...only downside is he has a huge year and you're paying more in year 2 ..i liken it to Sammy not being getting the 5th year, which i agree with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
