Speculation: Meeting with Lecavalier

[Johnny Hoxville]

Why are the Bruins parting with Seguin exactly?

5.75 million reasons for a 3rd line centre.

They could trade Peverley, Marchand, and/or Kelly to make space, rather than parting with a potential first line centre in Seguin.

It doesn't make any sense IMO

One of the things you listed is very different from the others.

Or buy out Kelly, but they have options

Seguin doesn't play centre. Julien has had him on the wing for a while. If they were going to trade him, I think it'd be because of the value he'd bring back.

Chiarelli could probably pry Eberle and Smid out of Edmonton for Seguin.

Why are the Bruins parting with Seguin exactly?

There's a thread on the main boards discussing Seguin's off-ice activities. Basically because he's a 21 year old multi-millionaire and he doesn't just stay home and play xbox on Saturday nights.

Thoughts are that Boston wanted to give him a bit of a wakeup call by floating trade rumours - nothing more.

Source just informed me: Lecavalier has officially ruled out #Calgary, #Florida, #Detroit, and #Montreal. More to come. #StayTuned.

Dodged a bullet here.

Interesting that he ruled out the Habs.

especially since i see nothing on my twitter and nothing like this has been said in the Vinny thread on the trade section. Get the impression his source is Flames Jambalaya or some other hack

Miller to Philly
Daley for Couturier
Ruff might not be coach in Dallas (next day he was announced)


complete garbage source. no wonder he didn't give the name

 

[Kipper933]

St. Louis would be a nice fit for him, they have a lot of depth and could slide him in a lot of different spots.

It's a shame we couldn't pick him up though, I was already trying to figure out how I'd pick a Flames Lecavalier jersey.

it's not a legit source. no legit source has ruled the Flames out

 

[Trae]

Signs with Philadelphia for 5 years, 4.5 per

 

[tmurfin]

God damn Philly has money to burn lol. Oh well, pipe dream at best.. On that note, Philly's pretty strapped for cap space, I wonder if there's anyone we can swipe from them for cheap.

 

[Kipper933]

Philly seems so random of a choice.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Since they have moved Schenn to the wing and Couts isn't ready for a top 6 role it makes sense.

Hartnell - Giroux - Voracek
Schenn - Vinny - Simmonds
Laughton- Couts - Read

Is a real deep lineup.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Still no goalie or defense.

Weird.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Defense is ok and they most likely sign Thomas.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Still no goalie.

 

[MarkGio]

Maybe we can pry Lauridsen and Gustafsson from them.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Still no goalie.

Most likely Tim Thomas. If they do get him look out they could be great.

 

[BVicious]

Holy crap Vinny is a rich motherfrucker. Getting millions from 2 teams forever.

Awesome.

Because of the buyout and the new contract he has over 55 million coming his way over the next few years. Just a crazy amount of money.
