PHI is keeping 50 per cent of BOTH contracts

Fine with me.

All I'm speechless. Hextall did two inpossible things in less than a year. Trade Chris Pronger's deal and trade Vinny's deal. I don't even need to hear the return. That's pretty remarkable.

I'll give Ron Hextall all the credit he deserves from here on out.

Now, on the Andrew MacDonald and RJ Umberger.

Not sure where this retained salary is coming from.

TSN has yet to put it up, tweets from Dregger and Mac stating schenn+vinny for a 3rd and Weal at this point.

Gotcha.

Still, solid deal.

Flyers retain 50% of BOTH deals. That's perfectly fine with me.

Yes, because you get the roster slots, and if Wheels retires, you lose all that you owed for those next two seasons

BLESS YOU RON HEXTALL I WILL NOT SAY A (frank)ING THING BAD ABOUT YOU FOR THE REST OF THIS SEASON AT A MINIMUM AND PROBABLY LONGER

Dreger tweeted the retained salary. 50% of both deals. Well worth it to be rid of Vinny

Gotcha.

Still, solid deal.
- flyer_nutter

For sure.

alright this means we can bring amac back to the flyers

Santa is real.

If Vinny retires this year it's 100%

Lukes is expiring, who cares. Woooooooo

I wonder if the Kings are making another move...it looks like they have to

From Hockey's Future:

Weal is in his third season with the AHL's Manchester Monarchs in 2014-15. He and former Yale forward Brian O'Neill, two of the league's smaller forwards, have been dominant all season for the Monarchs and are the team's top two scorers. While he has yet to receive his first NHL opportunity, Weal appears closer to reaching that level. Long-term, his success to this point suggests he can be a Stephen Gionta, Nathan Gerbe-type forward at the NHL level. His scoring ability and two-way game will likely also command big contract offers from clubs in Europe if he is not re-signed by Los Angeles following the season.

fine with me Schenn is up at the end of this year

Hes gone!

For sure! Luke is done after this year so no big deal there and 2 years of 2.25 million of dead space is much better than 2 more years of a wasted roster spot at 4.5 per

Probably. Unless they want Alt up.

How do we retain salary on both? rent we already retaining salary on grosman? thought only two contracts can be retained.

He sounds like a nice bottom 6 player with potential. Not just a worthless throw in, even though getting rid of Vinny is the real win here

I sure hope the original source of this deal isnt Steve Harvey

It feels like Christmas in here, doesn't it?

Vincent Lecavalier will play for the #kings for the rest of the season and intend to retire at the end of it. Last season in the NHL.

Now we need LA to crash and burn.
