Robin Lehner Will Not Count Against Golden Knights' Salary Cap In 2024-25
2 months agoVegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner (hip) will not count against the team's salary cap in 2024-25. He is in the final year of a $25 million contract, which has a $5 million cap hit. However, Lehner hasn't played in the NHL since 2022 due to health issues, and Vegas will be getting cap relief in 2024-25 in an "unprecedented and highly unique" case, as league sources have told ESPN's Emily Kaplan. The team will still pay out his $4.4 million salary for the season. Lehner, who won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy in 2019 for perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to ice hockey, has compiled a 152-141-49 record in the NHL across stints with five teams.
