Re: Lecavalier signs "lifetime contract"
Good move for years 1-6 or so. By the end of the contract, they'll be paying almost $8 million a year for a 40 year old player. That's way too long. -
Re: Lecavalier signs "lifetime contract"
btw it's embarrassing to this FO that they're paying only $600k per year more for Lecavelier than we are for Vanek.Comment

Re: Lecavalier signs "lifetime contract"
Lecavalier certainly puts up great numbers, but him and St. Louis are about 80% of the offense on that team too... so it's easy to get fooled by that.
Not saying I wouldn't love to have him or anything, but I think Vanek can be where he is in the near future.

Re: Lecavalier signs "lifetime contract"
I hope you're right but first he has to get his confidence back. He hit that cold streak last year and never really broke out of it.Originally posted by BlackMetalNinjaComment

Re: Lecavalier signs "lifetime contract"
I think it is yet another ridiculous contract. Sure he is a good player but way too much cash.Comment

Re: Lecavalier signs "lifetime contract"
In the NHL per year is not as important as the total amount of the deal, since it is all guarenteed.Originally posted by OpIv37
Giving any player $85 million with a right of first refusal over any move (even waivers) is 10X insane than the Vanek deal.Originally posted by mysticsotoComment

Stupid contract, by a stupid league. The NHL continues to show how stupid it is with each move.Comment

I'm pretty sure NHL teams aren't allowed to front-load contracts like NFL teams do.Originally posted by casdhfComment

Re: Lecavalier signs "lifetime contract"
It does not matter if it is or not since it is guarenteed.Originally posted by casdhf
They are allowed to front load (or back load) the deals if they want, but are limited as to by how much they can do so.Originally posted by mysticsotoComment

Re: Lecavalier signs "lifetime contract"
"Lecavalier will earn $10-million per season in salary and bonuses for the first six seasons of the deal, before dropping to $8.5-million in 2016-2017, $4-million in 2017-2018, $1.5-million in 2018-2019 and $1-million and 2019-2020."Originally posted by OpIv37

- All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
