5 years $22.5M for Vinny Lecavalier to join #Flyers. He gives them much-needed size up middle.

I really feel Cooter is as good as gone. I just hope it's not for Yandel.

By "at what price," I'm almost certain he meant "what changes to the roster will have to be made to accommodate his salary?"

Somehow I think Schenn gets third line center. Couts is gone

Vinny rakes in over 55mil over the next 14 years. Not too shabby for a 33 year old.

The cap hit is actually not that bad, it's the years and of course the (frank)ing NMC that kinda bother me.

Still if they keep coots and Schenn im a happy man. Please get rid of Mezzy and not cooties of schenner.

Missed the playoffs, sign an old scoring center when there's already two hot center prospects on the team, regret the signing later when production ceases to match salary, buy-out.

Vinny can also play the wing... but yeah, I'd assume one of Coutruier or Schenn is gone. I can hope it Coburn and Laughton tho.

I'm in the middle here. He makes the Flyers better, but at what price? What else is going to happen here.
- MJL

I don't see the need for this. I don't like the elderliness we're adding. Not a lot of room, I feel like this means we will not be keeping all of Couts, Schenn, and Read past this year.

OK, this may be the single dumbest thing anyone's ever posted on this website, and Garth, Maxbone, and Big Mouth all have blogs. That is top notch, Grade A USDA Choice stupid. Well done.

They want to win right now. Lecavalier means the window's open right now, because they're gonna make another move or two to make sure it's open.

They're not playing around. They aren't wired to do a rebuild.

They're just not wired that way. We all know that.

At face value, I like the deal. 4.5m/yr is a great number for someone like him. But Just have to wait and see what else happens to the roster because of the signing before I can really decide if I like the deal or not.
