The Buyout Thread

Exactly. So...where do we think he'd WANT to play/who needs a center? Obviously MTL is a destination I'd see. Maybe Vancouver because of Torts.

I have a little bit of a hard time believing anyone who's played for Torts before would willingly do it again.

I seem to remember him ripping Vinny before being shown the door.

Nevvvvrmind then. I just know they had success together. Regardless, the cap situation in Vancouver doesn't really allow much. Gotta think Malone is up next in Tampa.

Here we go, I didn't imagine it.

Cross Vancity off that list.

Hard to believe he is only 33 but I can't imagine there won't be about 29 GM's calling his agent.
Since he has that leverage I wonder if a "home coming" of sorts to Montreal will occur?

I remember feeling pretty betrayed when this happened...but crikey it worked out well.

Man that top line of Kovy-Lecavalier-Nichushkin is going to be something else.

@JeffMarek 3m Lawton had him going to the Habs for Price, Pacioretty, a 1st and either Subban or McDonaugh.

SWINNNNNGGG AND A MISS.

@JeffMarek 1m It was after the failed Lecavalier trade that MTL went out and got Gomez

 

[pixburgher66]

drosennhl 5s Lecavalier news is about an hour old and I've seen tweets saying he could land in Calgary, NYR and Montreal. It's only just beginning.

Im not buying what marek is selling here

Lawton works with him on sportsnet now giving his "expert gm perspective" but lawton just trying to blow smoke up his own ass

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Cant believe tbay ... A small market team with some of the lowest average ticket prices in the league can just pay a guy to go away

Lockout!!!

@JeffMarek 2m Further on Lecavalier Jay Feaster offered him to Vancouver for Luongo when the Canucks were having a hard time resigning him.

I definitely don't want Feaster to overpay here and that's the thing, Vinny likely doesn't need the money with getting his huge payout. I don't think Calgary tops Vinny's list as desirable destinations (although he would be slotted into the No. 1 centre position).

@JeffMarek 2m Furthermore, Lawton just came to my office covered in BBQ sauce and shrieking "THESE AREN'T MY CRAYONS!"

Why not just trade him to all those places for Letang, who is already there?

Funny enough: one of the Boston writers tweeted that he saw Vinny going to Vancouver...in a trade for one of the Sedins. This is AFTER the buyout news.
