Uh...
Lecavalier is 3 years younger than Briere, and a better player.
Briere's cap-hit was 6.5.
Lecavalier's is 4.5
Lecavalier >>>> Briere.
Their D is in shambles? How do you figure?
Timmonen - Meszaros
Streit - Schenn
Grossman - Bourdon
Gervais
They also have a plethora of youth running through their forward ranks. They can now trade Coburn for a decent package of picks/prospects, sign a good UFA goalie and still have cap-room (more notably so when Pronger's deal goes on LTIR).
They're a damn good team on paper for the 2013/2014 season.
