What do you guys expect from Robin Lehner when he returns from injury? I'm considering dropping him in one of my semi keeper leagues (roster 1 in sig), and grabbing Nichushkin. I already have Fleury, Anderson & Elliott, and with Freddy Andersen IR eligible I can freeze him down there in my IR slot until he has returned to form.
My only worry is, will Lehner be a top 20-goalie when he returns, across all stat categories? Where do you see his numbers going?
I think Lehner will be better then most people expect once he returns but for me that means he tops out as a top 20 guy this year. I don't think you risk a lot by dropping him for a Nichushkin or what every other player you want to stream.
Congrads on the team keepers by the way. Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin and Karlsson in a keep 6 league is pretty awesome.
I wouldn't worry much about dropping him. His only saving grace is that Ullmark will likely go to the minors. But I've seen nothing from Lehner in the last three years that gives me any confidence in him...
