Vinny to start his own team confirmed.

I can see it being Boston at this point.

Goddamn that would suck.

Bruins-GAF correct me if i'm wrong here, but I looked today and saw the Bruins with only 5mill+ in cap space. They still need to sign two goalies. If true how are they affording Vinny?

Goddamn that would suck.

That seems like the popular consensus and he'd be a great fit on Boston since he'd play 3rd line center. Scary.

Thomas-McCarron-Gallagher

McCarron is a winger.

Thomas was at the Rangers development camp right now, I wonder if he'll come over for the Habs DC.

He's not getting paid $5 M x 5-6 years to play on the third line.

Trades for best buddy Brad Richards - Future Considerations

I honestly have no guess where he's gonna sign. I'd think he'd want to go to a contender.

 

[Cake Boss]

Where the fuck would the Bruins get the money to sign Lecalvier and why would they sign another center when they just let Horton leave.

 

[Solo]

McCarron is a winger.

Thomas was at the Rangers development camp right now, I wonder if he'll come over for the Habs DC.

At 6'5" 400lbs, we can stick McCarron wherever if he develops at all.

"This young 21-year old forward has shown tremendous character” - Marc Bergevin in his quote on Christian Thomas.

That settles that, they must not feel Kristo will be able to reach his potential.

 

[MetatronM]

Thomas for Kristo trade is...interesting.

I feel like both teams may benefit. Christian Thomas definitely has potential, he's just a little less interesting than some of our other top prospects.

 

[Curufinwe]

All the offense they can ever want, and still no defense or goalie.

I like this defense if healthy.

Timmonen-Schenn
Streit-Coburn
Gustafsson-Grossmann

Streit on second line? You aren't gonna be happy with that.

Todd Cordell ‏@ToddCordell 52s

David Clarkson is looking for a 7-year deal worth $6 million per, according to @HeleneStJames.

 

[Curufinwe]

So long as he's over his leg injury and Coburn doesn't have to be the primary puck mover on his pairing. I guess he could swap ES shifts with Gus.

 

[Solo]

Enjoy Clarkson, Philadelphia or NYR!

 

[DopeyFish]

WELP

all the third liners want first line money

 

[Red_Man]

LOL god I hope the Leafs give Clarkson that kind of money, what a joke.

 

[Cake Boss]

A guy with a career high of 46 points is asking for that much. Why did we have a lockout again?

 

[jbug617]

Twitter is reporting.

According to Dreger (TSN Radio)it's Philly for Vinny.

I dont believe it until he tweets it

 

[Red_Man]

Sounds like Flyers are getting Lecavalier, Holmgren realizes he doesn't have a third buyout right?

How much cap do they have? D:

 

[ShaneB]

These proposals are fucking insane.

 

[Cake Boss]

How and why?

Holmgren wtf are you doing?

 

[Curufinwe]

A guy with a career high of 46 points is asking for that much. Why did we have a lockout again?

So the middle and high tier players could get more money and the lower tier of players could get less. But mainly for the 50/50 split and term limits.

 

[Red_Man]

How and why?

Holmgren wtf are you doing?

It really makes no sense, I hope the Flyers miss the playoffs again.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Enjoy Clarkson, Philadelphia or NYR!

No cap space, thankfully

 

[DopeyFish]

who needs a goaltender when you have vinny lecavalier?

edit: unless he agreed to play goal.

 

[Curufinwe]

It really makes no sense, I hope the Flyers miss the playoffs again.

I think that's unlikely with this forward lineup and them no longer having the worst value for money goalie in the league putting up a .900 SV between the pipes.

Hartnell - Giroux - Voracek
Schenn - Lecavalier - Simmonds
Gagne - Couturier - Read
Talbot - Laughton - Rinaldo

 

[Var]

Why? What does this mean for Brayden?

 

[ZeroGravity]

He should know from experience.

Here is the tweet from TSN Radio.
https://twitter.com/tsndavenaylor/status/352192229483356161

@TSNDaveNaylor: @DarrenDreger just read from his text live on #TSNDrive ... He asked a Flyers source "Did you guys get Lecavailier?" Answer: "Yes" #Flyers

Here Dreger's tweet.
https://twitter.com/darrendreger/status/352194089611051008

@DarrenDreger: Hearing the Flyers are Lecavalier's choice. Working on confirmation.

 

[Curufinwe]

Why? What does this mean for Brayden?

Wing hopefully. Finally might get a Patrick Sharp replacement after giving him away for nothing.

 

[yyzjohn]

It really makes no sense, I hope the Flyers miss the playoffs again.

Would make Vinny feel at home at least.

Source says 5 year $23.5 mill for Lecavalier as a Flyer. checking on that

Is that all? I thought it would be 6/29.

Seems alright.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Pannacio - 5 years, 23.5 mill

 

[Var]

Is that all? I thought it would be 6/29.

Yeah, if they really got him for that price. I think its a good deal.

 

[Cake Boss]

He becomes their 2nd highest paid forward after Hartnell.

A team thats already at the cap has Giroux, Schenn, Couturier, Read all needing new contracts next summer (Kimmo and Mez come off the books though, thats 10M in cap space)

They still have to sign a goalie as well.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yeah, if they really got him for that price. I think its a good deal.

I figured someone would give him 5/25, so if it's less than that I'll be OK with it.

Unless Couturier gets traded. He should still be the 3C even if Vinny forces BSchenn to move to wing.

 

[Freyjadour]

So much for Halak to Philly.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Philly can get Clemmensen only 1.2 milli cap hit!

 

[Wingfan19]

LOL Holland

 

[KernelPanic]

Lecavalier loved being bought out so much he went somewhere where it's most likely to happen again.

 

[Var]

They really need to find a way to unload Meszaros now. Even if they just get a bag of pucks back for him.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Weiss/Filppula/Ribeiro come to me.

 

[KingHenrik30]

http://www.capgeek.com/flyers/

Flyers have $4,181,478 in cap space according to this (under the 64 mill cap for next year) Lecavs at 4.7, still need to sign another goalie

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Grats to Philly.

GOD WE NEED CENTERS

 

[DopeyFish]

leafs have bought out komi

not compliance??
