Guys, Put this in the FWIW category, but a buddy of mine who has some "loose" ties to the Canes mentioned to me that the Canes and Flyers were in talks about a Ward for Lecavalier swap. He said it is more than just kicking the tires at this time.
He said the Canes really don't want to trade Ward within the division, but there aren't a whole lot of takers right now and that the Flyers want the Canes to retain some salary/cap due to them paying Mason $4M+ / year and because Vinny's cap is lower.
Not putting this on the main board because the source isn't what I'd call rock solid, but passing it along here as "speculation" (and I don't feel like dealing with all the **** that comes on the main trade board). He did tell me a few years ago about the SJ/Canes talks on Wallin long before that happened so he does have some insight, but he was tighter with the Maurice regime.
Just curious what you guys think about a move like that if it were to come to fruition?
