Buffalo Rick Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Luukkonen, who led Finland to Gold and Silver medals, is ranked the best goalie out of Europe by the NHL> I am hoping that he is good enough to unseat Lehner who to me, is not up to par. Maybe even Ullmark can be in the mix? But I they took this goalie fairly hight. The goalie is happy to be here, and likely knows Ristolainen. i am fairly confident he will get a shot to unseat Lehner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who starts in Rochester? Ullmark? The Fin? Who backs up Lehner? I say Lehner is toast PS I saw that about Ruff. Unreal. But he did play for Rangers for a short time after Buffalo way back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Rick Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 I tell you right now, this guy will be the starter. Lehner can watch or go to Rochester. Ullmark can be the backup. I wish we could trade Lehner. But who on Earth would want him? Put the Fin in there and leave him alone. Edwards, Sauve, Hasek, Miller, and Luukkonen.
