Sportsnet: Chris Johnston on Headlines said that he spoke with Chicago Blackhawks pending UFA goaltender Robin Lehner yesterday.
“I had a pretty frank conversation with Robin this morning,” Johnston said. “What came out of that, for me, is that he’s very interested in just getting paid fairly here. He’s on his second-straight one-year deal in two different places. Some of that’s to do with what happened in his personal life, having to prove himself again.
“…I sense that this is someone who’s going to have a fairly big ask after finishing third in the Vezina trophy voting last year.
