NAK took another useless offensive zone penalty. Don’t miss that.Devils win 4-1.
Malenstyn played 6:55 and NAK 5:45.
They miss Washington already.
I haven't read anything about the situation so I could be 100% wrong, and I'm going by context, but the league "breaking" its own rules for something involving a "mental health" issue suggests there might be some concern about liability.Different. Vegas is wholly free of the cap hit as if it never existed. Caps on the other hand can spend more, but they can't bank anything toward the deadline.
I think this is awful. I'm sorry for what Lehner is dealing with, but there are mechanisms in the CBA for when a player is either too unwell to play or simply doesn't show up. There's precisely zero reasons that those should not have applied in this case.
yea I think the fact that this is going ahead at all means that Lehner is in the wrong and VGK could've terminated the contract (and thus got out of the cap anyways) if they wanted.I haven't read anything about the situation so I could be 100% wrong, and I'm going by context, but the league "breaking" its own rules for something involving a "mental health" issue suggests there might be some concern about liability.
I'd guess it has something to do with his bipolar disorder. Untreated or improperly treated, that condition can really mess with people.Whatever is going on with the Lehner, it is nefarious. Gotta be a wild story buried in there. I’d love to know the actual truth, but we will probably never know.
