The Islanders have signed Robin Lehner to a one-year, $1.5M deal.

Lehner went 14-26-9 with a 3.01 GAA and .908 SV% in 53 starts with the Sabres last season. The 26-year-old has started 50-plus games in back-to-back seasons and is tied for 19th among qualified goalies in SV% (.915) and 37th in GAA (2.83) over that span. Lehner will take over as the Islanders’ starting netminder with Thomas Greiss as the backup.

The Flames acquired Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm from the Hurricanes for Dougie Hamilton, Michael Ferland and Adam Fox.

Hanifin is coming off of the best season of his young career, picking up 10 goals and 22 assists (32 points) in 79 games. Playing on the best possession team in hockey, Hanifin had an impressive +2.8 relative Corsi. The 21-year-old is an RFA who the Flames will have to sign this summer. Matt Cane of HockeyGraphs predicts a two-year bridge deal worth $4.672M ($2.336M AAV).

Hanifin is out indefinitely with a concussion.

Hanifin missed Sunday’s game in Brooklyn with a concussion that he suffered against the Flyers on Saturday. With just 10 games left in the regular season, there’s a chance that Hanifin’s season could be over. Concussions are tricky and there’s no sense risking him getting hurt with the Hurricanes’ season basically over.
