4 Golden Knights Who Likely Won’t Return for 2022-23 Season

OVERALL THOUGHTS

Robin Lehner’s 2021-22 season was set up to be a challenge right from the get-go. The 30-year-old goaltender was coming off an injury in the summer of 2021. He and every other goaltender in the NHL also had to adjust to the crunched NHL schedule and less time to rest due to COVID-19.

The main thing that surrounded Lehner was general manager Kelly McCrimmon’s decision to keep him over Marc-Andre Fleury. Fan-favorite and original Golden Knight Fleury, was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2021 offseason for a prospect and cap space.
