Just to pull it out:

"Paul Holmgren said this week one of the reasons Vincent Lecavalier struggled is because Peter Laviolette, who recruited him, left, and Lecavalier wasn't a fit in Craig Berube's system. Is there a trade fit now that Laviolette is in Nashville? Flyers would probably have to eat a good chunk of his salary, but Holmgren and Poile have a history of getting deals done. "

Spin away.

There is a history all right... Sadly the most recent history is fairly tainted.

what about this?

Uh oh...a picture of a good looking lady with a blouse partially open and showing some leg. The mods will quickly delete this, saying that it's going to lead to a slippery slope of a barrage of n00dz.

That's some damn sexy insanity.

bruce campbell is nothing if not sexy-insane.

what does nashville have that we would want? weber aside.

Like I said, we could potentially go after Stalberg for a 1/2 LW. Not ideal, but not bad either.

nothing about this clip of tawny kitaen is deletion-worthy.

mmmmmm yeah. somehow i don't see a scenario in which VL lands SJ. now, if we threw in rosemont, that's another story.

as evidenced early on....

I think, realistically, we could potentially do a VL + B Schenn + ??? and go for Josi and Wilson.

I don't know your reference, but it made me think of this.

The only year that the #Leafs won the Cup where the NHL had more than 6 teams? 1932. The NHL had 8 teams that season.

When you say "Won't get traded," do you mean for VL straight up, or at all? "Cause I'm pretty sure guys like Hornqvist could be had for the right deal.

- jmatchett383

definitely not straight up and what i should have said is that these are core players or high end prospects that are highly unlikely to get moved.

as for hornqvist, i'd love him on the Flyers, but I would want Hartnell going the other way.

so you'd want one or more of their prospects? i don't know anything about them. more to the point, would VL be able to net one of them?

No, but a VL + B Schenn possibly could. But if that's the case, I'd want Roman Josi.

VL and Lauren Hart for Mike Fisher and Carrie Underwood.

Only in Nashville could a veteran 2nd/3rd line center be considered 100% untouchable.

- hammarby31

yes, i think he would (at least for Salomaki and Leipsic), but i highly doubt the Flyers would do a straight up deal for those guys. Aberg is a high prospect and his #s look good. i'd be lying if i said i've ever seen him play. here's a link http://predators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=718267

at the end of the day though, think Nashville has various pieces that i would consider, picks aside

Reads like the same as all of the rumors floating around. Pure conjecture.
