Lecavalier ready for fresh start in Philadelphia

Vincent Lecavalier had a tough few days after his 14-year stint in Tampa Bay ended. 

His deal with Philadelphia helped soften the blow. 

Lecavalier and the Flyers officially announced their $22.5 million, five-year contract on Saturday. Lecavalier, a former Lightning captain,Online shopping for cheap cabinet locks & Straps Safety from a great selection of Baby & more at everyday low prices. had some options as to where he wanted to chase a second Stanley Cup. Only 33, Lecavalier has plenty left to offer a contender — or even a team like the Flyers in the midst of an offseason overhaul after missing the playoffs. 

“Let’s just say,vending machine lock for sale,Vendo t-handle parts, Dixie Narco parts for T-handles, parts for snack vending machines, tubular style, security style, Pagoda. Philly, with the meeting I had with them, that’s the place I really wanted to go,” he said Saturday. “I started off with, I don’t want to say a pretty big list, but a list of about 10 teams, and right after I talked with Philly, even before any offers or anything, they went right to the top of the list. I just liked what they were saying.” 

The Flyers offered one nice incentive — they dangled an opportunity to share a line with team captain Claude Giroux. Giroux signed his own eight-year extension worth over $64 million this week. Lecavalier will likely settle in on the second line, but could team with Giroux to provide a potent offensive push when the Flyers really need one. Had they teamed in their prime, they would have been one of the top 1-2 punches in the league. 

Lecavalier is willing to move to right wing to team up on the top line with Giroux at center. 

“It’s not something that I really worry about, especially when you’re being told you might play with Claude Giroux,” he said. “I’m really open to that and I’d be really excited about that.” 

Tampa Bay cut ties with Lecavalier to clear space under a smaller salary cap.

The four-time All-Star, drafted No. 1 overall by the Lightning in 1998, helped the franchise win the Stanley Cup in 2004 and scored a franchise-high 383 goals. 

By buying him out, it saved Tampa Bay more than $7.7 million cap space for the upcoming season.
