No, it is a lawsuit. Lehner also filed for bankruptcy which requires him to make a good faith effort to repay his creditors.

One of the adversary litigations in the nearly two-year-old Chapter 7 bankruptcy case involving Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner has been closed, according to documents filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas.
The case involving RMSPC Funding LLC was closed July 2, according to records.
Lehner and his wife, Donya, agreed to a stipulation June 14 to pay back nearly $3 million to the company, according to records.

The stipulation states that RMSPC will seek to garnish payment from multiple sources of income, including Lehner’s contract with the Knights this upcoming season, and amounts due to him that include holdbacks, escrow amounts and tax refunds.
RMSPC will limit its garnishing to 25 percent of Lehner’s NHL check, according to records.

So what is the reason for not showing up for his physical? Did he ask to have it in a different location and the team refused?

Sounds like he informed them that he wasn't going to make their specified date for a legit reason and the team then moved to terminate the contract as per the CBA.

What unclear is if Vegas did so for technical reasons. Or if it's because they're trying to get out of his contract for money or cap reasons.

Given the organizations history it isn't hard to guess which one.

I know he's had issues but bankruptcy after making almost 40 million is rough stuff.

Actually it is. They may well have needed to do it for technical reasons relating to LTIR.

If anything, it puts Lehner on notice that he needs to get this done.

robin lehner’s decision to purchase a snake-breeding business in 2017 began a “tiger king”-like saga that featured alleged nonpayment of funds by lehner and the murder of the snake farm’s previous owner by his wife and another man.

There is even a “dateline nbc” episode on it, where lehner was a suspect for a moment.

wtf?
