What's going on with Robin Lehner?

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

For a guy that's still only 33 and massive financial issues, does anyone know if he plans on playing pro hockey again?

He's still under contract and it's unusual to not hear any sort of injury status report for over a year. I don't remember that it was ever announced that his injury was career-ending or that he wasn't planning on returning.

I seem to recall he had some lawsuit with an exotic pet dealer and he claimed that former head coach Alain Vigneault (whom he never played for, but talked to those that had) had players consume addictive pain medication to stay in the lineup.

So basically he’s off the radar these days.

Retired but not retired and Vegas is quit happy for him not to try to come back. HE is injured and dealing with issues

 

[scoopscj]

No idea but wishing him the best with his addiction and recovery. Doubt we'll see him again playing in the NHL based on his issues.

Lehner had several hip surgeries and was rumored to be rehabbing as of May 2023 in Sweden but the GM wasn’t up to date on Robin’s condition, so it looks like Lehner’s career is over, as Vegas seems content to leave Robin on LTIR for the remainder of his contract.

I would expect Vegas to make some sort of announcement that Robin Lehner would remain on LTIR for this upcoming season, just like they announced for last season after training camp physicals.

His agents are Jack Johnson’s parents.

He be snakin’

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Didn’t he have hip surgery? Seems like a death sentence for a goalie

Massive car leases and purchases of exotic cars
Spending $1.8 million on snakes
Him and his dad taking out huge business loans under various LLC’s

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I heard he tried to join the WWE.

It’s not now. Ullmark and Luukkonen have both had double hip surgeries, but it takes awhile to recover fully from (both have said it took two years before they felt they were normal again)

One part of Knights goaltender’s bankruptcy case is closed

The Lehners filed for bankruptcy on Dec. 30, 2022. Filings showed the Lehners owed creditors $27.3 million.

Lehner also faced allegations of fraud.

Records showed Lehner owed $4 million in loans to Las Vegas businessman Michael Borden, who claimed Lehner misled him into believing they could be repaid.

Lehner was sued for $4 million by Eclipse Service Inc., a Wisconsin-based heating, ventilation and air conditioning company.

He be slytherin' into some legal issues, he's done.

Shouldn't this go in the spooky coincidence thread? A guy named Robin Lehner accused of literally robbin lenders

Massive car leases and purchases of exotic cars

Now I want to know if it was a $1M snake with an 800k crib or like 800,000 $1 snakes in a million dollar facility.

The league and the world needs more Robin Lehner

 

[banks]

I always liked him as a player. He had a lot of fierce energy in net.

I also always liked how he championed for mental health. I'm sure that he helped some people by being brave and honest when he was dealing with things.

But the stories about the snake museum and exotic cars seem to depict someone that's not focused on an NHL career anymore. Combine that with the health/surgery and there's like no chance he makes a comeback

I heard he tried to join the WWE.

it is Bullfighting now he try to start a new sport.

Not sure if you're offended by my post, but snake farmin' is work, my friend.

When the sun rises, I'm up at the call of the rooster to feed the rooster to all my snakes. Ain't much, but it's an honest livin'. I like my days long, and my snakes longer. Nothin' better than a nice whiskey on my porch after a day of snakin'.

I hope you can find the peace in your heart to forgive me if my previous message brought you any unrest.

Him and the Golden Knights are circumventing the cap by having him on LTIR and waiting out his contract. I doubt he's even rehabbing anything and he won't play for the Vegas Golden Knights again.

He's checking a lot of boxes on the "things going wrong in my life" card.

Upon further inspection, I may have misunderstood your post.
