It's consistent wishful thinking (no offense, HabsFan) that Lecavalier

1) should be in Canada
2) Wants to be in Canada
3) should sign in Montreal
4) wants to sign in Montreal
5) has to sign in Montreal.

It's the exact same story that we've heard since Vincent Lecavalier broke into the NHL. Trust me on this -- me and Boltsfan2029 have seen this over and over again... Tampa Bay should (trade, release, free) Vincent Lecavalier for every reason under the sun. And of course "Tampa can't afford all those players under the Cap! Vinny's coming back to Canada!"

Lyle Richardson -- a Habs fan and the webmaster of the absolutely best hockey rumor site at Spector's Hockey - Trade rumors, commentary, playoff predictions, links, and much more! -- consistently puts down the Vinny (or Brad, or Marty)-to-be-traded rumors that come from RDS and the province of Quebec because they tend to be fan fiction and wishful thinking.

Unless the Lightning fall flat on their faces and Lecavalier starts playing like a shell of himself (or the new ownership group starts interfering with the roster and makeup of the team), he will be retained by the Lightning as he is the face of the franchise and one of the core players.

Though even Wayne Gretzky got traded, the window of opportunity isn't closing, nor would the team want to haste it by letting Vincent Lecavalier go elsewhere.
