Lecavalier a Hab?


This image is from 'Puck Daddy's' Jersey Foul section - which is always a fun read and was for sale at an All-Star game kiosk.

Iit speaks to the ongoing speculation-that-will-not-die of a Vinny to Montreal trade. Last I heard the deal being considered was; Plecanek, Higgins, prospect P.K. Subban, Komisarek, and two first round picks for Big Vinny. To which if I am the Lightning GM Brian Lawton, I say 'Must get more' as there isn't a first line player in the bunch to replace any of the scoring Vinny provides.

I have to believe the Rangers would be willing to pony up a better offer including the equally ridiculous contract of Scott-occasionally-contains-1st-line-like-ability- Gomez to get a deal done, but would have to include Mark Staal in the package to get me interested.

Philly could likewise include their otherwise untradeable contract of the recovering from surgery Daniel-one-season-wonder- Briere, and prospect Luca Sbisa, but with Briere not playing that would seem unlikely.

How about Calgary? Can they enter the derby? Would Langkow, rookie D-man Pardy, Boyd and one of either Backlund or Irving plus picks get the job done?

I suspect that speculation will not die until the trade deadline passes or a deal gets completed.

Definitely would be cool if Lecavalier came to Calgary.... but from what I'm hearing - TB would be signing its death warrant if they traded Lecavalier. Curious to see what happens.
