HFBoards - View Single Post - Proposal: At what point does Lehner get called-up to backup Andy for Playoff Run

They call up Lehner 2 or 3 weeks before trade deadline and see how he plays in a couple of games,

Playing him in the NHL, behind a team the wins more than it loses will help his development not hurt it. If he plays well maybe he syeals Auld's spot and Auld is in press box. If he struggles he goes back to Bingo.

I doubt they trade for a backup goalie at all.
