Thread: VGK keep Barby Hill Howdy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tryger</b></div><div>LA and several other teams would definitely beat our Hill offer. Brossoit should be offered more, also you have Logan Thompson.

Lehner will be healthy and desperate for money and any contract incentives so you'll have to probably buy him out.</div></div>

LA or several other teams cannot give Hill a chance at another Cup. VGK can.

VGK can wait until Lehner is medically cleared to play and then place him on waivers. There is almost no chance that another team will claim him without knowing how well he will be able to play after his surgeries. (In the very unlikely case that that happened, the claiming team would own his contract and he would be completely off the VGK book). After clearing waivers, Lehner could be assigned to Henderson, with a residual cap hit of $1,175,000. Someone would have to go LTIR, probably Stone.
