inkman Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 Linky Montreal Canadiens GM Bob Gainey confirmed recently that he held talks with the Tampa Bay Lightning about a trade for center Vincent Lecavalier. Gainey was reportedly contacted by the Lightning about a possible move and Tampa was interested in forward Chris Higgins, defenseman Josh Gorges and top prospect P.K. Subban. This is a joke right? TB is trading a top 10 player in the NHL for a 20 something goal scorer, a so-so defenseman and a kid who barely cracks Montreal top 10 prospects. If this happens, I'll quit watching hockey all together.

inkman Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Posted February 21, 2009 Salary dump by TB, Ink. It does suck. I understand the economics, but as a franchise you have to get as much as you can for an asset and what Montreal is reportedly offering is nowhere near what TB could get.

I think TB upper management really have no clue how to run the team. The Melrose hiring was a joke. Too bad. They will just give him away.
carpandean Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 There have been so many "Vinny to Montreal" rumors, mostly from the wishful Montreal press, that I've taken a complete "I'll believe it when I see it" stance on the subject. Anything is possible, especially with Tampa's crazy management, but it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. If they picked up the phone and called almost any other GM, they'd be offered more.

will Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 if joe thornton can be traded out of boston for a few slags (relatively speaking), then i believe anything can happen in this crazy league.
nucci Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 if joe thornton can be traded out of boston for a few slags (relatively speaking), then i believe anything can happen in this crazy league. Actually, a long time ago we said if Wayne Gretzky can be traded.......
