I'm good with bringing him back for significantly less than he was paid last time.

Somewhat agree for long term but from strategic perspective a decent return on Vinny and would be a perfect trade chip at the deadline for someone (contender) looking for an offensive d-man to put them over the hump in the playoffs. Imagine the Hextall love if somehow he spins Vinny into short term rental, then to late first round pick or second rounder at playoff time.

If they decide that Lecavalier is not a fit going forward, I would have no problem trading him for Del Zotto, and then flipping Del Zotto in a separate deal. As long as they don't have to retain salary in the deal. But I would flip him before the season starts.

Honestly, at least "Timo" saves a letter. Typing "Timmo" versus "Kimmo" saves you zilch.

My problem with that is if Alt falters and shows that he needs more AHL seasoning.
- MJL



I can see that. I guess maybe they could look to bring in a vet on a PTO or maybe some league minimum or cheap type dman on a 1 year deal.

Examples.
Matt gilroy
Jeff Shultz
Brett Belemore
Tom Gilbert
Brian Lee
Ryan Whitney


Something like that

He can shoot, skate, can be physical, and is fairly young. Perfect third pairing guy.

No chance of that deal with zero salary retention IMO

Just because one guy didn't work doesn't mean another won't. Just has to be the right guy

I like those three names as well but i think you would want them playing an not sitting as the 7th dman since they are still younger players. But i like those names too

That's my point. Why say/type "Timmo" when it's just as easy to say/type "Kimmo?"
