He probably will stay in TB. Like you guys have mentioned it does sound like he wants to saty there.

You concede the point after everything is presented to you and then you write this?

I still ask you how he will sign in Tampa with their cap being so high.

Cap being so high? We're currently around $6M under the cap. He's already making almost $8M. With revenues leveling off or dropping, the cap max isn't going to be much higher than it is now and certainly isn't going to approach being enough to where that $6M wouldn't cover it easily, if Vincent were to even demand the max.

Right on.

You know that there is a perception that with the weakening dollar -- US teams strength will expire. That's part of the new reasoning, I take it, that Canada will end up drawing people in... Because the Loonie will be worth more than the Dollar.

**shrug** That remains to be seen how much change happens because of it. I doubt it plays a roll in Lecavalier staying or going though.

I believe the new CBA mandates that all contracts - even for players on Canadian based teams - be paid in American dollars. If that's the case, I'm not sure that going to a team in Canada will make that much difference.
