Vegas linked to 3 starting goalies to replace Robin Lehner
Earlier today, the Vegas Golden Knights announced that Robin Lehner was set to miss the entire 2022-2023 NHL season, as his medical team has decided that he must undergo hip surgery.
This leaves the Golden Knights in a very tough spot with only backup/third-string goaltenders in Logan Thompson and Michael Hutchinson. Subsequently, it's expected that Vegas will consider adding some additional help in goal.
Dating back to the 2021 NHL trade deadline, the club has been linked to New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov, and according to Islanders correspondent James Nichols, Vegas has circled back to those conversations.
#VegasBorn certainly expressed interest in the #isles Semyon Varlamov last trade deadline. As far as I'm told, Vegas is not on his no-trade list. However, I'm hesitant to believe Lamoriello wants to break up his goalie tandem at this point, just a hunch.
Vegas has also reportedly checked in on James Reimer of the San Jose Sharks and Jake Allen of the Montreal Canadiens.
