20 goals and pounding the Habs every game is worth it.

some high standards you have there

I just hope that after all the music stops we have a center upgrade (hopefully vinny) and we don't get stuck with the guy without a chair at the end (bozak).

You were walking on a tightrope but then issued an apology, lol
- LeafMan

I was really grumpy, when the guy started backing his stuff up, then I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He made a compelling case for Stastny, and he truly believed it, so he deserved an apology. He wasn't a troll.

And the crap that I was seeing last night made me want to take a vacation from HB Lou lol.

Say Richards gets the buyout too. Whos is plan A and who is B? (Lecavalier and Richards)

I've never really liked Richards, but I'd have him as plan A I think.

"shopping" aka trying to give away and still can't get it done.....left coast twits.

Best guess? Someone will pay Vinny upwards of $15M/3 yrs. Yeah, that's right....

I have no issue with that contract....this isn't Tim Connolly.

Thats who I'd prefer....maybe I'm wrong, but he gives me Sundin flashbacks.

i like Stastny, and he is still young. one year left i think, so they could see wether he is worth resigning

Ya the Leafs need to go after him like crazy!
- Fakepartofme

Interesting that Vinny and Letang have the same agent. Bergeron is the only other big client with the firm. Vinny's brother is one of the agents in the firm but not Vinny's agent.

I'd go for Vinny 1st, then Richards.

Richards has produced about 5-6pts more/year the last 3 years, but I think Vinny's size would be better fit.

Richards would be a nice plan B

yup, lets get to the front of the line!!

I've got an american express card that allow you to do that.

Why don't we just reunite them!
Richards - Lecavalier - Kessel (basically your Martin St Louis replacement)
Lupul - Kadri - JVR

I like the idea of Vinny, just wonder if he has the wheels to play with Kessel and Lupul/JVR.

Do teams have to wait for July 5th to sign these players being bought out, or can they start negotiating immediately?

Makes me laugh when I see "teams that would be interested" and they list the likes of VAN and Philly

I'm on board with this. Vinny is the center we've all been tlaking about on here forever.

not long term but definitely a fantastic stop gap centerman until we find that young franchise guy (if ever) not sure about his leadership skills, but a big body veteran presence forsure

kessel vinny lupul/jvr makes my thingy move

I don't know, You'd think July5 like the rest but if he's bought out (today/tomorrow) he doesn't have a contract and should be able to sign before that then.

Because he has a no-move clause in his contract, Lecavalier can and will reject going on waivers prior to buyout.

Trying to get any deal possible before they buy him out.

What does that mean? He can stop them from putting him on waivers and therefore stop a buy-out? That can't be right

Leafs have about 12 million in cap space if they sign thier RFA's and buy out Komi and Liles


more tweaking will be needed if they hand Vinny 5-7

i think it just means that they have to put him on waivers, but due to the nmc he can refuse to go on waivers. they can still buy him out.

It just means that he doesn't go through waivers, so he can't be scooped up by a team he doesn't want to be on. He goes straight to UFA on July 5th, free to negotiate with the teams he wants.
