Robin Lehner signs 5-year contract extension in Vegas!
The Vegas Golden Knights and Robin Lehner have agreed to a 5-year contract extension, paying the Swedish netminder $5 million per season.
The deal becomes finalized almost a month after we reported it was offered back when Vegas was in the middle of a playoff race. With the drama that surrounded the Golden Knight's crease during the NHL's bubble, this deal is likely spelling the end for Marc-Andre Fleury in Vegas.
As for Lehner, he's found a new home after revitalizing his career over the course of the last few years.
Goaltender Robin Lehner has put pen to paper and signed a 5-year, $25 million extension to stay with the Vegas @GoldenKnights. Announcement expected later today.

Lehner was No. 5 on #TSNHockey’s Top 75 free agents list. #FreeAgentFrenzy
Look for Vegas to work the trade market as the goaltending trades will be early and often this off season. With one reportedly about to go down between the Sharks and Wild, the Marc-Andre Fleury sweepstakes are officially on!
It's all your fault...
