Not a bad signing for them, glad he's off the market so we didn't grab him!

I would have given him that I think, granted I am a big fan who thinks there is untapped potential there.
Gives them a good second line center, who can also play the wing.

Pretty pricey for his average production.

Still don't understand the Vinny move. Why not wait at least 1 more year?

Good fit again. that's the one thing so far today I have noticed is that no one is really signing people for the sake of signing them. I like most of the moves that have been done so far today.

Damn. This is the one guy I really wanted today. Would have been very happy with that deal.

1) If Lecavalier gets hurt they might not be able to buy him out next year and then would lose the ability to use a compliance buyout on him
2) Even with this signing, the buyout has given the Lightning $2.7M in cap space to work with.
3) Its not like Lecavalier led them on to great things last season... Unless he was in charge of the tank job, in which case he was epic.

Loving today so far. Lots of bad contracts and the Flames not in on any of them.

That's a lot of money and term. Glad the Flames did not beat it.

Weird amnesia among some of these GMs, buyout one player and days later dish out another overpriced contract to another player.
