Lightning to cut salary next year? http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/tbl070304.html Tampa Bay Lightning GM Jay Feaster has been told the team is going to have to cut money out of its budget for next season.
The Ottawa Sun reports the Lightning's payroll in 2007-08 could be in the $37 million range.
According to the paper, that's led to speculation the Bolts will try and deal center Vinny Lecavalier, who is having a career-season. If Feaster puts Lecavalier on the market, Montreal Canadiens GM Bob Gainey is expected to be the first in line for his services.
if that happens, I'm sure that Montreal will look at him too. If that happens, would other teams be looking at landing him? If that happens, would Nonis try to pull another summer blockbuster trade? If that happens, what would it take in order to get that particular player on the 2007-2008 Canuck roster?
Let the speculation begin...
YES, THREE MONTHS EARLY! AND I LOVE IT AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
