Vegas Golden Knights: Mapping out how Lehner could remain in Sin City

It is a subject we have covered extensively on this site already, but the Vegas Golden Knights face the very real reality of losing Lehner in the off-season.

Acquired as a pure rental at the Trade Deadline from the Chicago Blackhawks, a tactic the Golden Knights rarely employ, Lehner went 3-0-0 in his first three starts in Vegas with a hugely impressive 1.67 Goals Against Average and a .940 Save Percentage.

However, carrying an Average Annual Value of $5 million, although both the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Chicago Blackhawks retained some of that salary, Lehner is already an expensive commodity for a glorified backup.
