If Eichel has a bad recovery, a slow recovery or no recovery at all (though then I guess they'd have $10M to spend).
If they do all this and Lehner is still no good.
The only way this really works out is if all their injured players recover at a cap-friendly pace and they win the Cup. And then they still have to lose a bunch of salary.

Lehner is a damn good goalie.
He’s weird, even by goalie standards.
But he’s a 2x Jennings winner.
Vegas should’ve gone to him earlier in the playoffs last year.
