If it were me I would go with Halak. St.Louis has a great young team at all positions when their team is healthy + I feel Halak is a better goaltender.

Goalies: If I'm pickin em you best be sittin em!
Yes Lehtonen has put up good stats this year, and his team is likely going to be improved next year. But St. Louis has depth in all positions and is a strong young team that should be very competitive (moreso than Dallas) in the West next year.
I also think Halak is a better goalie and much much much much much much much less injury prone.

Me too. I've also been surprised at Lehtonen's durability this season. He's started in 61 games, which is the most he's started since 2006. In the 3 years before this season, he's started no more than 48 games. I would expect more missed games next season...

Halak for me. St. Louis is going to be good. Real good soon. Halak will be beter as well - this is his first year as a full time goalie, hopefully he will be better adjusted. I think he would post more shut-outs as well.
