We learned last year that you could retain more than 50% salary on a player when Hagelin was traded from Pittsburgh to LA to Washington. Washington's acquired portion of the contract was less than 50%.
The CBA says that no more than 3 teams can own part of any contract, and no more than 50% can be retained in any single trade. So effectively, max retention is 75% if both trades retain the maximum amount.
Vegas currently is responsible for 28% (3% more than the minimum) of Lehner's AAV. They're only on the hook for an even smaller percentage of that in cash since the contract is pro-rated.
