Nope. None. Zero. He can say it's not about the money because he's getting it.



Here's what it boils down to - he wants to play and he wants the money. Right now he's only getting one of those. He wants both. Is that a completely rational desire? Probably not, but I understand it.
- Scoob

Well we're not on the same page on this one. He has a lot of money, and he's still getting paid by the Lightning. I think he wants to play more than then he wants the money.

He'll end up in Montreal and it'll be hilarious.

thanks

A LSchenn trade might also finally be in the works. Source is just a poster on HFB, but he also called the Kimmo trade last year before it happened.

Most likely, he'll end up on the Rags and will score the Cup-winning goal.

This is fine. I just think calls ups should be more strict. The Flyers aren't great right now anyway. Regardless of how Vinny made the team, he's on the roster. How they use him is up to the Coach. Calls to me should be used in case of an injury.

Again, what the rules are and what I believe are two different things.
- SuperSchennBros

Isn't there is a flip side to that? If you think the Flyers should uphold their end of the deal, how about Lecavalier? Doesn't he owe to the Flyers to play well, and to meet the expectations when he was signed? Can't have it just one way. If you want to look at it like the Flyers should play him, then Lecavalier has to play like he was expected to.

I have never lurked nor laughed nor waited once in my whole entire life. I skulk, chuckle, loiter.

Why should they be more strict? The Flyers are paying the guys they call up, shouldn't they be allowed to ice the team they feel gives them the best chance to win?

If it wasn't for his no move clause, Vinny would probably not be on the roster. He only earned that spot because they can't send him away unless he agrees to go

Maybe. I don't know him and haven't talked to him about it. But I'm comfortable in thinking that he's not going to walk away from anything in Philly until he has something guaranteed lined up somewhere else. Getting that guaranteed deal isn't going to be easy to come by. Not impossible though.

boil and all

Honestly, Lecavalier's words don't mesh with his approach. If money really doesn't matter, and he just wants to play, and he believes in his ability, why wouldn't he agree to terminate, and move on with his career? There's no way after sitting most of the year, that he magically finds his game again. It's really getting down to now or never. I'd be shocked if the Flyers could trade him.
- MJL

my exact thoughts. If he truly believed in his ability and money wasn't an issue, he would terminate and look for another deal. a team may take a chance on him at the league minimum but no way a team trades for that contract.

His agent may have other plans.

Also, if you believe he should do that, you probably also believe in unicorns.

What other plans could his agent have?

I might be in the minority here, but I'd rather make money and have a team not play me than not make money and not have a job.

Then he shouldn't bother coming to practice, to the rink, or to the games. Just stay home. The organization should consider it to be a buyout, except they still have to deal with the cap hit.

My problem with Lecavalier stems from his comments regarding him wanting to play. If he's such a proud player, he'd waive his NMC and go to the Phantoms. Don't worry, he'll pass through waivers because it's clear that no one wants him. If he's so concerned about playing, he could also terminate his contract. Not consider the possibility of doing so, but actually do it.
