It isn't official until Fleury's agent fires off another tweet trolling VGK

Lehner is denying the deal for what it’s worth.

Yeah, if I’m Lehner there is no way I’m taking that $5m AAV now. He could get way more on the open market.

But clearly—if this is the contract he ends up signing—Lehner is valuing more than just "getting as much money as I can." As noted already in this thread, the stability of a long-term deal and a situation in which he seems very comfortable seems to trump sheer dollar-value in importance.
So, yeah, Robin Lehner is doing things differently than you would, for reasons that he has deemed to be of primary importance.

What team out there is better than the VGK and will pay him more than $25 million?
He's be stupid not to take that IMO. He gets a big pay day, gets decent term and also gets to be on a perennial contender.

I think if he does sign for that, it is at a bit of a discount because the Knights are near the cap. Cap friendly shows them with just shy of 5M cap space. Sure they will move that 7M for Fleury, although it will be interesting to see if they have to retain. After that they still need to add around 5 players, so they probably can't afford to give him more.

Great signing by Vegas. Let’s see how they get rid of Fleury

Did Vegas clear come cap, or are they now allowed to exceed the cap?

You cab exceed the cap by 10% during the offseason.

Yes I know, but I do believe the "offseason" doesn't officially start until free agency opens. Which is why I asked, are they allowing the 10% earlier this this year due to the condensed nature of things?

I’d take him at full price with a little sweetener (and maybe Ryan going back). But that’s mostly just so we couldn’t/wouldn’t sign Hall

Since this is an extension, the contract doesn't officially start until the offseason.

Yes, but it still puts them over the cap for next season, so the 10% overage allowance must have kicked in today if the deal is official. I think this is what they call the tagging rule
