This is not like Lombardi...

from earlier today


http://www.broadstreethoc...n-to-terminating-contract


The truly interesting news came directly from LeBrun, who provided a theory that to this point had been limited to wishful thinking from the blogosphere.

My sense is Lecavalier’s agent, Kent Hughes, has made it clear to teams that if they took a chance on his client, an effort would be made to ensure those final two years on the deal wouldn't hang over the club in one form or another.

This isn’t about money for Lecavalier; it’s about wanting to prove he’s still got some hockey left in him, even if in some smaller role.

I thought you meant he would retire right away, which at that point the league might step in and void the deal, or could they? I don't know, kinda tricky

i hope all the people that thought the Flyers would have to give up a high pick or good prospect on top of retaining salary with Vinny to get rid of him come on here and admit they were wrong!! Weal and a 3rd pick to boot!!! great deal philly

my best guess is Vinny gets one last kick at the can with LA through the playoffs.

Maybe they bonus him out on a July 1 for his $500k owing.

he then retires or they mutually terminate the contract. vinny leaves $5.5M on the table, but leaves the game with dignity.

This matters so little and is actually preferred

let stupid people have their fun.

explaining that this is good for the flyers would be like snatching a shiny toy from a learning disabled person. just plain mean.

He gets to play and has a decent shot at a cup, must be the happiest SOB on the planet

i hope all the people that thought the Flyers would have to give up a high pick or good prospect on top of retaining salary with Vinny to get rid of him come on here and admit they were wrong!! Weal and a 3rd pick to boot!!! great deal philly

I knew they would have to retain salary, but didn't think it would be as high as 50%

I thought you meant he would retire right away, which at that point the league might step in and void the deal, or could they? I don't know, kinda tricky

Do you mean the same league that placed a man in the HOF and then watched him get traded to another team.

Philly eating the 50% is nothing. Moving those two lumps is ... AND getting a pick and Weal?

The cops will be at Hexy's door soon to arrest him for theft.

Please educate me as I know of none

50% is great because it clearly maximized return and after this season all of the retained salary will be off the books. The Flyers save 2.25 million on a player they were actually trying to NOT play and save 4.5 million for the 2 years remaining on the deal.

This is seriously highway robbery. It is incredible

uhhhh... semin


more to come

LOL ....Did you forget about Semin that quickly?

Do they have cap recapture penalties from the retirement?

Loaned to Europe, contract still exists

I know. I'm just kidding. Great deal for the Flyers. Who gets dinged if he retires? Anyone?
