Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner hits rock bottom: his assets have been frozen due to massive debt
Robin Lehner has been a controversial figure in the NHL for a while, as he was the reason the Vegas Golden Knights were forced to trade Marc-Andre Fleury.
However, his fall from grace as a starting goaltender making $5 million annually, to a mysterious figure clouded by millions of debt, who refused to show up to his yearly physical and will likely never play hockey again, has been tough to watch.
After rumours of his massive debt emerged, more details have surfaced, suggesting he owes somewhere in the range between $10 million and $50 million, and has done some extremely sketchy actions in order to resolve it.
VIA THE LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL:
A federal bankruptcy judge froze the assets of Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner on Thursday after lawyers for one of the largest creditors in his bankruptcy case alleged the former star has engaged in frivolous spending and made improper fund transfers.
A filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas by attorneys representing creditor Aliya Growth Fund claims the company is worried it won't receive the nearly $4.8 million Lehner and his wife, Donya Lehner, owe it because they have been transferring money from their bank accounts to non-creditors, including shell companies with apparent Dubai ties.
The filing also claims the Lehners spent $1.5 million on gambling, vacations and luxury purchases following the couple's bankruptcy filing in December 2022.
Lehner received $6 million from his Knights contract from the 2023-24 NHL season, which Aliya's lawyers claim the Lehners have already spent or transferred to avoid paying debts incurred.

Clearly Robin Lehner has not been a responsible man with his millions, and is now paying the price. Hopefully he gets the help he needs.
