The Knights acquire goaltender Robin Lehner for a second-round pick, Subban and Slava Demin.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Players<\/h2>\n<p>Robin Lehner, Malcolm Subban, Slava Demin<\/p>\n<p>The Vegas get one of the league&#8217;s best starting goaltenders in Lehner. He has consistently been one of the best goalies over the past two seasons with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/islanders\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Islander<\/a>s and Chicago Blackhawks. Over his ten-year NHL career, Lehner has played for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/senators\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ottawa Senators<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/sabres\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buffalo Sabres<\/a>, New York Islanders, and Chicago Blackhawks. He has put up a 113-120-45 career record in 298 career appearances with 279 career starts. He also has a 2.73 goals-against average, 0.918 save percentage, and 14 shutouts. Lehner has a career 4-5 record in ten career Stanley Cup Playoff games with eight starts. He has a 2.05 goals-against average, 0.934 save percentage and no shutouts.<\/p>\n<p>This season, Lehner played in 33 games with 31 starts for the Blackhawks. He put up a 16-10-5 record with a 3.01 goals against average and 0.918 save percentage and no shutouts this season.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>Lehner instantly improves the goaltending on any team he is on. Among the leagues best, he can help make a deep playoff run this season. Lehner solidifies the goaltending situation moving forward for Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>This will be Lehner&#8217;s fourth team over three seasons, which is not common for one of the best goalies in the NHL. He has been moving around a lot in recent years after Buffalo moved on from him and the Islanders didn&#8217;t keep him.<\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"_cHJfZ_mT31svxt52EJjMg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1201072586\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'_cHJfZ_mT31svxt52EJjMg',sig:'lJxt5pYorQ-vu9vZ_7lVJGv61ql4t8fuwshJeTx-YRw=',w:'594px',h:'448px',items:'1201072586',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to trade goaltender Robin Lehner to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for a 2nd round pick,\u00a0Malcolm Subban and Slava Demin, who is currently playing with the University of Denver.
