Vegas Golden Knights: How Lehner, Cousins impact lineup

Looking for pieces that could help push them over the top, the Vegas Golden Knights were aggressive on Monday.

They sent Malcolm Subban, prospect Slava Demin and a 2020 Second-Round Pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for goaltender Robin Lehner, before acquiring versatile forward Nick Cousins from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a 2021 Fourth-Round pick.

Both players tick a lot of boxes for the Golden Knights and we decided to have a look at how Lehner and Cousins impact the lineup.

This is a simple one given that most NHL teams have two goalies on the active roster, unless you are the New York Rangers who are currently dealing with a three-headed goalie monster.
