Lightning will use a compliance buyout on Vincent Lecavalier.

Not surprising.

Avs/Flames trade:

Avs get Tanguay & Sarich
Flames get Jones & O'Brien

No, not surprising but a drag non the less. Vinnie is a big time guy in the community here. Just not the same guy on the ice.

Seen the Flyers are trying their next hunt for a goaltender, Jaroslav Halak.

Compliance buyout will not be used on Richards. Thought it was 50/50 after being a healthy scratch for a good portion of the playoffs.

@TSNBobMcKenzie: "Not 100 per cent yet but looks like Nathan Horton will NOT be back with BOS. B's talking trade and Tyler Seguin's name has been discussed."

Habs finally rid themselves of Tomas Kaberle.

I think everyone here knows what this team needs. The Hawks need a PP QB that can not only handle and pass it well but can also really bring it from the point. I don't know who's out there but its a need now. Right NOW. If they're going after any veteran help, thats where it should be. If this team has an Achilles Heel, its that damn PP and I can't see anyway they can succeed again like this year unless it's addressed.

Yet Gillis keeps his job. I'm beginning to see what the guys on the Canucks forum were talking about. BTW, about 90% of them were pulling for the Hawks in the Finals...they must REALLY hate Boston.

DiPietro saga on Long Island finally ends.

Isles using compliance buyout on him.

What a terrible contract that was. Makes me even happier that the Hawks have Stan running things when I think of what GMs hand out to some guys. Kinda like Letang getting 7.25 million per year for eight years...

Yeah really... I mean anyone could see that coming when it happened. . . and to think they also had signed Alexei Yashin to some stupid level contract as well ... nice track record- is there something in the water on Long Island?

I think they are still paying Yashin, too.

Gotta love the Islanders.

CHAMPS!!!

 

[Capt. Serious]

Lecavalier signs 5 yr, $23.5 deal with Philly.

Lecavalier signs 5 yr, $23.5 deal with Philly.

For that kind of money the Hawks could have had him instead of Bickell if Vinny wanted to play for a WC team.


CHAMPS!!!

 

[Gunzaan]

Philly? Haha, he obviously went for long term stability and straight up cash. I'm just glad he didn't go to Detroit.

 

[Diehardfan]

LOL at the Flyers. They haven't had a goalie since Hextall and they're still throwing big money at older skaters.
