Mario99 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The Flyers are not about this year if you believe Hextall, so why not try and ask Boston if interested in Vinny Lecavalier ?but no Ed Snider wants that 1st round playoff $$$$$$$$$ 2 home games is all you will get mr.

peter puck Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The question should be Does Boston have the guts to take on that contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podein25 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I could easily see a team taking Vinny and part of his contract/cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Vinny at 2.5 might be attractive to Boston with the injury to Krejci. I just don't know that they'd view him as worthwhile for them for 3 more years. Of course, unless they volunteer to keep it intact, his NTC would be gone and they could trade him away in the offseason to basically anywhere.

Samifan Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Impossible to showcase Vinny to anyone when Berube has him sitting in the pressbox fetching popcorn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The question is if you're Boston, who would you want more, Lecavalier or Jagr? If I'm them, I would want Jagr every day, twice on Saturday and Sunday to be on my team before I would take on deadwood Vinny and that contract. There lies the problem, Homer screwed the team with yet another bad contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'd take Jagr all day too - if I hadn't lost my second line center. Vinny at least makes a modicum of sense in that light. Jagr makes more sense as a replacement for Kane in Chicago. Don't think it's likely, but hey, I've been wrong before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Knut Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Dangle? I think Hexy is pretty much begging anyone he can find to take the guy!Nice guy. Bad situation for him. Could produce elsewhere I believe... But his contract is just a killer. A real nonstarter.

B21 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Vinny was just benched again. This time for Rinaldo. For the last time... NO ONE IS TAKING VINNY OF YOUR HANDS. That was actually cathartic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Vinny's contract isn't easy, but for having a vet with a goal scoring aptitude in a deep playoff push, can be the difference of making it to the next round and even winning the cup. If one of your star players are down and his position can be filled without disrupting your other lines/chemistry a smart GM does it. You negotiate cap/compensation with trading partner so that it works for each team.Vinny is valuable this time of year.You don't open up a used tire shop in Dubai, but it sure as hell is very valuable in a ghetto.Look at all those pelicans fly......fly pelicans.

radoran Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Vinny is valuable this time of year. The problem being that any team taking him "for this time of year" is making a commitment to three more years. Somebody calls you up and says, "You want Vinny Lecavalvier? Your first reaction is to laugh. "Hey, it's Ron - listen, I know you're down some Top Six talent, I'm wondering if you might be interested in Lecavalier at $2.5M per? I'm not looking for much back, but could retain that $2M if it helps." It's all in the marketing. That said, I still don't see a team committing to three more years of Lecavalier.

B21 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Vinny's contract isn't easy is unmovable but for having a vet with a goal scoring aptitude with a goal scoring decline like few others in a deep playoff push can be the difference of making it to the next round and even winning the cup flaming out completely. If one of your star players are down and his position can be filled without disrupting your other lines/chemistry a smart completely insane GM with a career death wish aquires VLC "as is". You negotiate cap/compensation (for the next three years) with trading partner so that it works for each team. Fixed. Vinny is valuable this time of year. And this time next year. And this time the year after that. And this time the year after that. That's some long term planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 @B21 People say things like this guy is untouchable and that guy is unmoveable. If Gretzky was traded, nobody is untouchable. And if Sather was not only able to trade Gomez and his contract away, but also get mcDonough back in return, anyone is moveable. Now if only we can find a gm that stupid who still has a job.

Gretzky is a bad example. Who wouldn't want Gretzky? Can't say the same about VLC. (And even Gretzky had fewer years on his deal than VLC. ) Gomez is a good example. So there's one going for you.
