Durability is another issue. But then you have to look at the specific injuries that caused him to miss those games. But that doesn't change the fact that when Lecavalier is healthy, he is a good player still.

Of course he is still a good player.....hopefully a player that can be a 25 goal guy and give some leadership...the question is the level.

Ghost could if Kimmo doesn't resign. Morin won't.

Out of camp? Neither will make it.

I could see getting Ghost a cup of tea though

EDIT: If Ghost signs he must play in either the NHL or the AHL no?

I understand it, just chicken!


But honestly, I don't see Morin making the team. And I think Ghostibhere has an outside shot. But more likely that he starts the Season in the AHL.

Doesn't change that I have not ignored his struggles. I've just looked deeper as to why he struggled. And it's obvious why. It was the injury and the position change. And it's not about excuses, it's simply about reality. In the same way that Giroux's hand injury before the Season started, obviously affected his play in the beginning of the year.
- MJL



No....you look where you want to look....every player goes through what Vinny went through.....that's the life of a struggling player....and at times Vinny has struggled. Some guys are more streaky then others......but I don't think Vinny is any better or worse then what his stats indicate.....and the facts are on my side.

No, I look at all the factors. I would say anyone who ignores the injury and the position change, which is what seems to be happening here, is just looking where they want to look. And not taking into consideration all of the factors. I haven't seen you provide any facts.

Morin - God I hope that isn't even a possibility.

Ghost - He still has to declare if he will play in college for another year or not. So it's up to him.

That would be feeding Ghostibhere and Morin to the wolves. Lambs to the slaughter.

If Lecavalier can keep up his recent hot run and have a strong playoff, it could lead to Schenn being dealt for a natural winger or defense help.

Schenn could also still settle in as a winger, I just don;t think he'll work on a line with Vinny, because they tend to go to the same spots on the ice.

Facts are his "actual" stats....not excuses....what facts do you bring....you are a manipulation of the truth.
Every player in this league has challenges.....unlike you I realize it's part of the game and shouldn't be discounted .

It's been debated multiple times. I find it boring, which is why I don't get involved in it, and just scroll on through it. And a debate is okay, as long as everyone agrees?
- MJL

I thought his point was the debate is pointless if everyone agrees.
