I think Vinny's in the driver seat. The Big talk of "Fine! You won't play" doesn't mean anything. He still gets paid.
If people here truly believe we're unlikely to win for the next 3 to 5 years, what does it matter if Vinny plays or not? I'm not defending the player but it doesn't matter if this is really true.

Similar to how Timonen wanted to go out on his skates, I'm sure that Lecavalier does also. Does anyone believe that Lecavalier will be content, not playing, and just collecting his money? If I was Hextall and his agent said that to me, I'd laugh. Everyone knows dam right well that Lecavalier will be miserable not playing. A season where he hardly plays, will effectively end his playing career. If there is little market for his services now, imagine what will happen after a season of inactivity.
