JVR-Lecavelier-Kessel ????

Is he even 1st line material anymore.

 

[Solo]

Is he worth 4m a year at this point?

Apparently he's still playing at 0.8ppg recently, so I'd say yes.

Playing on the 2C spot behind Stamkos.

 

[Samyy]

Wow Lawton had Lecavelier going to the Habs for Price, Pacioretty, a 1st and either Subban or McDonaugh but the ownership nixed it.

That would have been amazing,

Most productive GM ever!

I hate you Homer.... :'(

 

[T.M. MacReady]

DiPietro has to be next on the chopping block.

I like this approach. Homer is on the right track for once.

 

[Plinko]

I hope Detroit goes all in on Lecavlier.

Can't wait to see what RDS is like when Lecavelier goes on the market.

Vincent Lecavalier (-117) has the second-worst career plus/minus rating among active #NHL players (Olli Jokinen, -130).

 

[toro5741]

Tampa stahp, suprised no one took Malone off their hands yet, even though his cap hit is 4.5 for the next 2 years, its actual salary is only 2.5 for the 2 years. Not a bad price for a top 6-9 guy with some physicality thats basically being given away.

This has Garth Snow move written all over it.

DiPietro has to be next on the chopping block.

One would hope, but the fact they haven't said anything yet gives me pause.

 

[KernelPanic]

Malone is pretty awful and injury prone these days no ?

 

[KingHenrik30]

Wang is one of the cheapest motherfuckers out there.

 

[KernelPanic]

Wang is one of the cheapest motherfuckers out there.

Isn't that out of necessity due to the Islanders' situation on Long Island ?

I imagine things will be much better in Brooklyn no ?

 

[toro5741]

Wang is one of the cheapest motherfuckers out there.

Yet he's the one who had the brilliant idea to sign DiPietro to this deal in first place (along with Yashin's awful 10 year - $90 million contract).

 

[Razorskin]

LeCave to Anaheim, calling it.

No, this guy is rolling in dough. He could have built a new arena by himself if he wanted.

 

[cube444]

Only if its like $4M per year max and like a 4 year deal max.

No way. Not when a guy like Grabovski makes what he does. :lol

 

[CrazedArabMan]

I'm starting to get really hyped for the draft/free agency....

I know I shouldn't since disappointment always follows.

Be patient man:

I doubt there are many teams as motivated to make deals as the Leafs are. Nonis is virtually willing to listen to offers on everyone.

 

[Samyy]

Again they say this shit every year
I expect nothing, maybe moving up a few spots the draft, thats it.

Adam Proteau ‏@Proteautype
Interesting point re: Lecavalier from an NHL agent: Don't be surprised to see him sign a 1-year deal, then return to Tampa Bay next summer.

That could happen too I suppose

 

[cube444]

Lecavalier will easily get $6M per.

 

[snack]

Any chance the Canucks will sign lecavalier and reunite with Torts?

HNGGGGG

 

[Samyy]

Buyout Grabo and sign Lecavalier Nonis!!!

 

[Smiley90]

Any chance the Canucks will sign lecavalier and reunite with Torts?

HNGGGGG

With what cap space exactly?

 

[ShaneB]

I eagerly await proof that any long term contract ended up being a good idea.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Handy calendar from DGB.

Bowman says Hawks will buy out Montador and Olesz if unclaimed after waivers

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 4m

MIN has a lot of balls in air. Heatley can't be bought out, Wild need to shed some $. Tom Gilbert in play but if no takers, possible buyout.

Buyouts, buyouts everywhere.

 

[snack]

Luongo

And ummm...

CHANTS OF LUUUU WITH TURN TO LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Brinbe]

Exciting times... and we're just getting started.

Nothing has happened...at all

 

[Merguson]

Thanks for scoring the game-winning goal that led to us winning the Stanley Cup.

Now get out.

 

[cube444]

Why would Letang supposedly want the Leafs? I get the feeling he's not happy with the Pens offer and Shero is dropping this BS Leafs angle to try and get a rise out of the Habs.

 

[KernelPanic]

Why would they shop Bolland ?

Because everyone wants to play for the Leafs

Dammit .. beaten before I could even post it lol

His agent came out and said that they havent mentioned Toronto at all.

Wouldnt be surprised if Shero is lowballing him right now, seeing how Kunitz barely got a raise, Dupuis will probably test the market as well.

Why would they shop Bolland ?

They want to sign Bickell and some other guys I think.

He has to lowball because he can't afford him at what he can get on the open market.

It's funny how he wants more than Karlsson

Totally ok with this.

ESPN Chicago ‏@ESPNChiHawks 2m

Bowman says Hawks will buy out Montador and Olesz if unclaimed after waivers

Nobody is claiming these guys. :lol

Why would they shop Bolland ?

Because they don't want to pay $3M+ for a 4th liner?

 

[Curufinwe]

Lecavalier will easily get $6M per.

For how long? I'm thinking he could get 5/25 from some team.

Yep. Just saw this:

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
Re: the Letang situation in PIT: longer he goes unsigned - PIT has made a substantial offer - more reasonable it is to assume trade possible

 

[Acid08]

Buyouts, buyouts everywhere.

Oh man Wild fans are probably livid that Heatley can't be bought out.

 

[cube444]

For how long? I'm thinking he could get 5/25 from some team.

I could see him taking $6M for 1 year.

 

[TUSR]

Letang is worth 6/year

 

[Var]

Letang is worth 6/year

Easily

 

[T.M. MacReady]

One would hope, but the fact they haven't said anything yet gives me pause.

The Luongo rumors are more interesting now, wonder if there's talks regarding that stopping the DP buyout. And you're right on about Snow/Malone.

 

[KernelPanic]

Because they don't want to pay $3M+ for a 4th liner?

Is Bolland a 4th liner ? I thought he was your #2,#3C.

 

[Vman]

Oh man Wild fans are probably livid that Heatley can't be bought out.

nah he is good and a leader on the team. 7.5 mil is a bit much though.

i'd rather have him then buy him out. getting rid of Gilbert, Konopka, falk and maybe clutterbuck will make cap room.

 

[cube444]

Letang prob wants $7-7.5M per. I'm sure Shero is trying to get him at $6.5-6.75M per.
