@TSNBobMcKenzie
Vinny Lecavalier's agent Kent Hughes says it is his client's intention to retire at the end of this season.

I hope he can rediscover some magic and play another season or two. Disappointing to have him be forced out of the league the way he has been with Philly

Mike Richards May Be Joining The Washington Capitals: Sources say pending NHL approval, Mike Richards is expected… dlvr.it/DC884M

even at 50% LA is still over the cap, another move has to be made.

I wanted LUcic , I wanted Schenn, damn you Lombardi will you stop reading my posts

Dustin Brown, Adrian Kempe & their first for Radim Vrbata

LA obviously pushing for a cup run. I really don't see how L.Schenn or Vinny help.. I would much rather retain Weal and a third. Philly I would have to say wins this trade as Vinny will retire and L.Schenn is on the last year of his contract. Basically retain 50% on a team that won't make the playoffs and gain a third and a decent prospect.

I think this will mean Philly with a $1.5m recapture penalty for 2 seasons.

Building a cup winner. Not a huge lose we still have Weber.

Maybe Brown and a first. But then we take on that awful contract...

Never mind. "Modified NTC (Player submits a list of 7 teams he cannot be traded to)" Canucks are sure to be on that list

Renaud Lavoie@ renlavoietva
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.
- LeftCoaster

wont there be a cap recapture penalty for retiring before his contract expires?

Where did you hear this?

With Grenier and Kenins re-assigned and Jake not ready to play yet, the only way a forward could be scratched would be if they went with seven defensemen.

Or Pedan back up front?

Colour me skeptical.

Probably won't be sitting out a vet, we are showcasing our bevy of talent for TDL sale.
