Vegas Golden Knights: Lehner heroics shines the light on biggest strength

Already boasting a future Hall of Famer in Marc-Andre Fleury, the Vegas Golden Knights made an almighty splash at the Trade Deadline after pulling the trigger on a blockbuster move for Robin Lehner.

The Knights, seeking an opportunity to drastically improve what was already a strength, sent a 2020 second-round pick, goalie Malcolm Subban and prospect defenseman Slava Demin to the Chicago Blackhawks for Lehner.

Although Subban had shown some promise, it was clear that he hadn’t convinced the front office enough that he was the man to steady the ship should anything happen to Fleury.
