VL to Sabres. Flyers eat 500K a year and get back a 4th. Would he go?

I believe a more likely scenario is Vinny is traded to the Preds along with a low level prospect (Brandon Manning) eat $1.5 million and get a 4th rounder back in 2015.

A team that has a player making 8+ million/yr is not interested in rebuilding. They are not going to waste G's prime years tearing out key pieces like Coburn and Simmonds for younger, not as proven players.

It's only July, a lot can happen between now and opening night in Boston (and probably will).

Nashville has been paying Weber 13 mil a year and didn't feel a need to add pieces around him and that GM still has his job.

Unless, of course, it's on a lacrosse pinny. I hate them.

I think a team should have an alternate jersey with none of the same colors and possibly a different logo.

Do it anyway. How else are we going to shed vinny's contract?

Just trade him to free agency. Problem solved.

Love the Winter Classic sweaters. They would be a great alternate. Never cared much for the black jerseys. We won't speak of the chromed logo.

He's a UFA, if we can sign him for $1.5 million he'd fit under the cap using option 2 outlined this week.
