New Jersey Devils Trade for Robin Lehner Makes Some Sense

After the Vegas Golden Knights re-signed Stanley Cup hero Adin Hill, Robin Lehner is now the odd-man out after spending the season on LTIR. If he can still play, there’s a world where the New Jersey Devils make sense as a landing spot.

By now, everyone knows of the Vegas Golden Knights and their cap space shenanigans that eventually brought them a Stanley Cup victory this year. Logan Thompson and Mark Stone both missed significant portions of the 2022-23 season whilst Nolan Patrick and Robin Lehner missed the year entirely. With a cap hit of $5 million, Lehner was an easy choice for LTIR.
