Just a quick hit for you all, as I hope you are enjoying the holiday and your family.
Earlier this season Vinny Lecavalier was rumored to the Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators. I was told both deals came close to happening, but after the Preds got Olli Jokinen and apparently the deal to Ottawa wan't to the liking of a key piece in the deal, the Lecavalier talk faded pretty quickly.
Then came Vinny's season in Philly which saw head coach Craig Berube unable to find the right line mates and VLC not fully buying into the coach's system. That would see Vinny as a healthy scratch for a few weeks, but since he has returned to the line-up so has his scoring touch. Vinny is hot right now and word is the trade possibilities are once again returning.
Nashville is the team to watch here. They are a legit contender in need of veteran leadership.. And remember Vinny signed in Philly in large part because he believed in Peter Laviolette. He only had Laviolette as a coach for about a week.
Lavy is, of course, now in Nashville.
Another team is surfacing this year though...the Florida Panthers. They are also looking like they could become buyers and Vinny is a legend in Florida. They are a team to watch when it comes to many possible deadline pickups...
More to come...
