Golden Knights weigh options after goalie Robin Lehner fails to report
Goalie Robin Lehner failed to report to the Vegas Golden KnightsSEPTEMBER 19 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Absent for medical test Lehner (hip) was not at training camp Wednesday to undergo a yearly mandatory medical test, per RDS.ca.
Impact To qualify for long-term injured reserve -- which Lehner has been on for each of the last two years -- a player must be checked and proven medically unfit to play. Lehner's absence from the Golden Knights' first day of camp has led to the team potentially pursuing a contract termination, which would get them fully out from under his $5 million cap hit. While this situation will have salary cap implications for the Golden Knights and could also impact the NHLPA's relations with the league, it doesn't change the fact that Lehner has likely played his last NHL game and won't suit up in 2024-25 while in the last year of his contract.

Will begin year on LTIR Lehner (hip) will begin the 2023-24 campaign, Golden Knights GM Kelly McCrimmon told Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Thursday.
Impact Lehner didn't play at all in 2022-23 because of his hip injury. Adin Hill and Logan Thompson are projected to enter the season as Vegas' top-two goaltenders, but if Lehner's able to return during 2023-24, then he'll be in the mix for starts too.

Not on training camp roster Lehner (hip) is not listed on the Golden Knights' training camp roster.
Impact Lehner's absence from the camp roster doesn't bode well for his availability at the start of 2023-24. The 32-year-old goalie missed all of last season while recovering from hip surgery, and in his absence, Logan Thompson and Adin Hill have emerged as viable goalies for the defending Stanley Cup champions. As such, Lehner will not be rushed back this year, and given the length of his recovery, it's fair to question if he'll get back into an NHL game again.
