For most this isn't just about this year, it's beyond with a bigger role in the organization. If that isn't a priority or even an interest for our front office than just cut him loose already.
I think that Jarmo is trying to send him that message. Is it the best way to convey it, probably not, a little too cagey for me, but I think that if Vinny hasn't gotten any offers, it's probably indicative of how teams feel he fits on a club. I just don't think that Vinny fits with the Jacket's style of play anymore. He isn't fast, he doesn't play physical and he's 39. Add all that up, it makes sense as to why he's not going to be back.
I like how Jarmo has handled the offseason, very methodical and just gets the job done with none of the histrionics of Sideshow MacLean. He set his plan and I think he's executed that plan. His moves have kept the positive momentum from the end of the season going.
