Can we all agree though, despite contract and term and whatever, that just seeing Lecavalier in red at home next october is going to be spine-tingling?
Sure, but it'll suck for Tampa fans when he makes his debut at home for the Florida Panthers.

He may get the loudest ovation ever if he signs here.
And conversely, the same, if he doesn't.

Could also be Vancouver so he can play under Tortorella again or in New York to play with his friend Richards.
Just kidding. It would suck if he does not choose Montreal. Come on, we're much more of a contender than Dallas.

So if he doesn't go to MTL it's because we're not offering him the term or money he wants.
Yeah, like instead of booing him, we should simply stop making any noise. Dead empty Bell Center. Everyone starts reading a book or the newspapers.
Being ignored makes you feel terrible.
I don't care if he doesn't sign with us, but if he signs with boston i'm going to be ****ing pissed

Why would we put Lecavalier, who would easily be the best Top-9 center we have at faceoffs, on the wing?Assuming Vinny signs and we have to keep DD and Pleky, I can see us making it work by placing Vinny on the wing to start off...
Galchenyuk - Eiller - Vinny
Pacioretty - DD - Gallagher
Bourque - Pleky - Gionta
Prust - Dumont - White
Plekanec would be able to play against the top offensive line and gives us some offensive output occasionally.

It's quite clear if we sign Vinny and don't trade anyone - Eller or Desharnais is moving to the wing to start.
I'd be fine with something like;
Pacioretty - Lecavalier - Gionta = #1 scoring
Bourque - Plekanec - Eller = 2-way checking, defensive assignments
Galchenyuk - Desharnais - Gallagher = #2 scoring
I will say this though - signing Lecavalier and having 5 natural centers would be ****ing incredible. Center is such a hard position to fill - having that many who can play Top-6 minutes is just unreal.

Le sort des Coyotes (probablement) connu ce soir, et la décision de Lecavalier bientôt...Le hockey, c'est vraiment à l'année.
Exactly...I think he genuinely wants/wanted to play in Montreal. But probably expected the Habs to 'back the money truck up' and blow him away with an offer as though this was 5-6 years ago.
I think Bergevin, wisely I might add, showed Vinny and his camp that the Habs are interested naturally. But only under certain salary conditions.
While other teams don't have those same salary restrictions.
Lets see what motivates Vinny...
If not Montreal then go to Dallas and stay out of our conference.
Although anywhere but Boston or Toronto would be fine by me.

OK. I'm hearing V.L. wants 5 yrs & #HABS offering 3. #HABS really want him? He really wants to play here? Settle on 4 yrs & shake hands. No?
That's fine too.I'd like to see Eller stay in the middle and move DD to the wing.
Pacioretty - Lecavalier - Desharnais
Bourque - Plekanec - Gionta
Galchenyuk - Eller - Gallagher
Prust - Dumont - White
That is SOLID!
