According to a report from Bob McKenzie of TSN, the Buffalo Sabres will not give goaltender Robin Lehner a qualifying offer. Therefore the 26-year-old goalie will become an unrestricted free agent.
BUF is not expected to give goaltender Robin Lehner his qualifying offer and he should be added to the list of UFA goalies available this summer as Sabres are likely to look elsewhere for a partner for Linus Ullmark.

This move isn’t a surprise after last season and the Sabres wanting to go with the future in Linus Ullmark.
