Cool as f***. My only criticism: should've changed the silhouette of the jet from F-18 to F-16

I got burned last year but drafted him again. But I did draft Matthews and Woll in hopes that I jinx the Leafs season

Wow, who would have guessed Vegas gets out of this scott free?!?!

LOFIN · 2024-10-03T11:27:46-0400

Absolute bullshit, and I can't believe I have to explain what this means to some people on the mains.

If this was applied on a larger scale, it's basically a free ticket for a team to get out of a bad contract. Of course some players would not agree because they want to play, but I bet a lot of them (especially older ones) would be more than happy to stay at home collecting their money.

Balthazar · 2024-10-03T11:38:26-0400

They did say it was a unique situation. For all we know Lehner could be in a psychiatric hospital and unable to report.

Nice precedent for Nuke's next coke binge.

Unbelievable. They should stop calling it Player Safety because they don't give a f*** about it.

The fact that it's lead by a goon is so f***ing stupid it's hard to believe it's not parody.

Balthazar · 2024-10-03T12:19:47-0400

So what happened is Vegas could terminate the contract but they decided to let him have the money even if they didn't have to.

Seravalli:

Sources indicated the Golden Knights had a strong case to fully terminate the deal, which would result in no pay, but they didn’t want to pursue that path – as they were only seeking salary cap relief. From the NHLPA perspective, protecting a player’s earnings was of the utmost importance

henchman21 · 2024-10-03T12:24:09-0400

Yeah seems like a case where Vegas (and the NHL) said either you agree to no cap hit... or we terminate the whole deal and Lehner gets nothing. Easy agreement for the NHLPA to agree to. I do wonder if this will count against the players' share.

It does:

His $4.5 million is still expected to count against the players’ share of the 50/50 revenue split with owners.

Sources: Vegas Golden Knights get salary cap relief from Robin Lehner’s contract

Vegas won’t have to place him on LTIR and can begin accruing cap space each day they’re under the limit.

Not a huge loss... but still a loss for all the other players. The rest of the NHL players would be slightly better off if that 4.5m evaporated.

Hopefully we can do this with Nuke when he f***s up again this season.

Unlikely considering he likely wants to play in the future and Nuke would have to agree.

I would say there is a slim chance of Nuke agreeing if the timing hits just right. Say he gets pinched at the beginning of April. He's have received most of his pay for this year, but would be missing out on next season's 7.3m. This would leave him without a salary for a year, and 'only' ~20m left for him to collect. After taxes, escrow, and such... that's probably in the realm of ~11-12m. I don't think it is outside the realm of possibility at that point that he'd agree to terminate and find a deal in Russia. I'm sure he can find a ~2-2.5m a year deal there. Not going to happen until that 7.3m is not collectable though.

It's Parrosdy.

Metallo · 2024-10-03T12:50:01-0400

VGK has a strong case for termination but out of the goodness in their hearts they will continue to pay Lehner? I don't believe this story.

I'm gonna trade him to Winnipeg in my NHL 25 franchise mode when it comes out. Gonna trade him cheap too so he knows how I feel about this situation.
