Tr4ilerP4rk Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 i was coming here to say the exact thing!Both Richards and Vinny had their most success under torts, if either is bought out and not to expensive, i would be ok with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyfan90 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 2 year 6-7 million Anything more than that, then id rather pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB007 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Us buying out someone else's bad contract, ultimately is a complete joke. The Aquilinis will trade Schneider and keep Luongo long before they would seriously consider dealing with other people's bad contracts. And if Tampa buys out Lecavalier, there will be lots of contract offers from around the league. His service will get bid up to around 4 to 5 million per.

Martin Frk Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 He Will Stay on the East Coast. Could see him going to either Toronto or Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 He'll go to Florida and live it up with Luongo as they win nothing but get hammered consistently, on and off the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Is there another source other than the fourth period? The cost of that buyout is horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 He goes to Montreal no doubt in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Seems like a high percentage of these buyout rumors don't factor in the actual cost to the owner at all. Just because someone has money doesn't mean they're are willing to give it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greetingsfrombrazil Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Boy, that's a huge cap hit. I can see that happening, specially because the contract is front loaded. It would cost Tampa a lot, though. I say go after him. Our top 6 would be really good with him, we could even move Kesler to play with the Sedins if necessary.

Plaguez Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Sundin : East, West, doesn't matter you don't refuse the money he got from us. Bourque : Traded wasn't signed UFA Koivu : Signed to play with Selanne, otherwise it would have been Minny with his brother. Heatley : Traded, refused to play for EDM.

DrChill Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Wonder if Torts being the Coach he won a cup with could sway him for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 He'd be an interesting fit here, that's for sure. Especially if he took a smaller contract due to the buyout he's getting. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if he stays out East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Boudreau Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 He would be a great fit in Vancouver if he could be persuaded to come here and take a little less to make it work with the cap. Ballard has zero trade value as of now. So he needs to be bought out. Booth still has some value and could be traded. I wonder if a Luongo for Lecavalier deal could finally be done. Yzerman seems to want to cheap out on the goal tending and doesn't want to invest in a big contract. But could he get rid of a bad Lecavalier contract for a slightly less bad deal in Luongo's?

morrissex95 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 He'd be a fantastic fit here in Vancouver on two year deal paying him $4,500,000 per season. Anything more than that would put our team in an unsustainable position financially. If Keith Ballard gets bought out, I don't see an Edler trade as an option anymore. Assuming we find our taker for Luongo, amnesty Ballard, we'll have around $5 Mill after a Vinny signing for a #5 D, #4 C, #4 LW and #2 G For a team like our searching for depth, I don't think that's a move that works out. Meanwhile, I see a team like Toronto giving Lecavalier a blank cheque on a three year deal to go play for them. He's a great financial fit here but without taking a big haircut I don't see it being a great move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 A 6'4, 210 pound center who has PPG potential still and has an extra gear in the playoffs? Can't think of a better fit... I seriously doubt he gets bought out, but his last 'big' season did come with Torts. Maybe he'd be willing to sign a 1 year deal to bounce back and then go cash in on a long-term contract in MTL as it seems he's always wanted.

RyanKeslord17 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I hope Richards gets bought out too then use Torterella to lure both of them to the Canucks on a 1 year deal. Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Booth - Lecavalier - Kesler Higgins - Richards - Hansen Sestito - Lappiere - Kassian Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I would have traded Luongo for Vinny, had Tampa been willing to eat the difference in cap hit. But they have decided to roll with Bishop. Still think he'd be a good fit though, if the money worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
