Not for the cap hit it'll cost.

 

[Whiskeypete]

no

move along

 

[Scottkmlps]

No. Have enough centers.

 

[KingsFan17]

Can he play LW? Unless I missed it we still have a ton of centers on the team. Not that he'll take a big enough pay cut to play here anyways.

 

[YP44]

We do not have the room for him. He will still get 5-6mil.

[onlyalad]

I would guess he will be a Hab next year
Unless he is a Quebec Coyote

 

[Kingler]

Yes...if the goal is to have 12 natural centers in the lineup

 

[LAKings88]

No need and he will go to Montreal for a couple years then retire.

 

[The Tikkanen]

Do you think a team out there will load up on buyouts? I'll agree with the others, Vinny and Montreal have been linked since he signed that ridiculous contract, they love him there.

I think it would be awesome if Calgary did.

 

[Telos]

Absolutely not. Maybe 3-4 years ago, not today.

 

[TonySCV]

Dallas Stars would be a good destination for Lecavalier.

 

[Sydor25]

Montreal and NJ should be all over Vinny.

Maybe Detroit too.

Lebrun figures Detroit, Chicago, and Toronto will be in on him.
That and the Canadien rumors indicate he will be going to an original 6

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Is Eric Lindros available?

Is Eric Lindros available?

Missed the flight to LAX due concussion...therefor not available.

 

[KingsFan7824]

People are saying he won't go west. He'll still probably get $5 million a year. The Kings already have 3 forwards making that, 2 or all 3 of them already centers. If there wasn't a chance before, there's even less when you think about it.

 

[The Tikkanen]

It suddenly became the offseason of the aging free agent forwards. This is usually when the owners cant help themselves and start throwing more ridiculous money at players who just got bought out of ridiculous money deals.

 

[Thrice]

Yes. Add Vinny, move Kopitar to LW, win 2nd Stanley Cup.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Yes. Add Vinny, move Kopitar to LW, win 2nd Stanley Cup.

Unfortunately, the year isn't 2004 anymore. Lecavalier isn't that good anymore. Why do you think the Lightning are buying out their captain?

Last three years he has been putting up .8 ppg. He still has plenty to give. Not worth $7mil for the next 7 years is why he is being bought out.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Absolutely ZERO interest in him. At all. Zero.

 

[johnjm22]

He'll be getting a paycheck from Tampa Bay until the year 2027. Must be nice.
