Bettman blocked trade of Vinny? TB still interested in moving him?

News to me to be honest. I didn't realize that it was fact that a trade got blocked, nor did I realized Vinny was OFFICIALLY on the market. Maybe it has something to do with the fools that keep making proposals everywhere, I mistook that for an actual rumour.

So..is he leaving TB? Hmmm...

He won't leave until the offseason at the earliest. A few home playoff dates for Tampa just about covers Lecavalier's salary for the season, and the Lightning are still in it.

Sounds about right, the OK group did seem to seriously blow up around that time.

This guy is on the decline, I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole with that contract.

I second that, shoulder surgery, and double wrist surgery in the last 3 years....I'd gladly take a pass on him.

You guys are crazy, he needed time to get fully healthy. He's good to go now, 90 points minimum next year.

Wasn't he surgery free this summer?

Two seasons to get back at it? Starting to sound like Cheechoo-esqe statements

No, I was wondering why you put Nash there all of a sudden. Figured you to be a Sens avatar kinda guy. The NPH on a unicorn was cute, but Rick Nash?

Oh, I couldn't find a pic to use.

Wrist surgery this past April.

That contract is an albatross. You hope he retires before the end of it.
