Lecavalier rumor

So Lecavalier is on the blocks? Isnt that rumour coming back every year when winter starts to cold up? Sure would look great in a Habs jersey but realisticaly that wont happen. Even if Bob gainey would offer the moon, the salary caps will prevent Vinny the great from wearing the CH.

the latest is Higgins, Plekanec, PK Subban and picks. Looks like a fair deal to me but the Habs need capp space to allow the 7 mil on the books. So what does Bob to do? Shop one of his future UFA and it's expiring contracts for picks himself? But who?

By the way things are looking right now, Koivu seem expendable since the team is winning and scoring more , a bit like last year, when Kovalev wears the C. But we also have to look ahead to next year.

With 10 free agents on the team and with Plekanec and Higgins gone, what would be the make up? Abunch of kids (Paxiorety, D'Agostini, Maxwell...) with Lecavalier and the Kostystyn brothers. Is that enough?

I say yes. The kids have proven that they can play and Kovalev would stay in a city that loves him and that he likes for a 4 or 5 millions price tag. The only key would be to sign Komisarek to a 5 millions per year contract which wont happen, not after the Commordore signing of last year. If only O'Byrne would have develloped a bit quicker...
