People were saying the same things about Byron and Armia - look how that turned out.
You can even go further back to guys people overated like Gorges - and i'm sure there's still people crying over not signing folk heroes Mike Weaver and Jordie Benn cuz they were supposedly indispensable to the team.
I bet you were even one that wanted to resign Tatar for 4 years at over 4million, cuz, you know, he brings a lot of things.
Lehks is going to be a RFA who is going to command $3,000,000 - there is no way in hell i am paying that for a third liner and then having $10,000,00 of my cap space wasted on a bottom six line of Lheks Armia and Byron. (you can even add another 4$million for Dvorak).
Not having Lehks on the team will not make a difference. In fact, Pitlick is already doing his job for $975,000, which just goes to show how easier it is to find effective bottom 6 guys on the cheap.
The sooner we trade him the better. If he is so invaluable, there must be a strong market for him then, no?
As for Anderson, again, my biggest worry is his health. He just can't seem to stay healthy enough to warrant that contract. Not saying he is like Andrew Shaw, but he does have health issue that i'd be wary of given the way he plays. And let's be honest, there's a reason why Columbus got rid of him - their gm is not stupid.
