Is Vincent Lecavalier Leaving Tampa Bay?

I don’t know what’s going on but less than a year after Vincent Lecavalier 
signed a “lifetime” deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning, there’s all this gossip about whether he’s about to be traded away. Back in February 2008, some were even saying that Vinny was asking to be traded but then he signed that contract and I thought it would be the end of the rumors.
Instead, I’ve been hearing that people in the front office down in Tampa are fighting because some want to trade him while others want to keep the original agreement. With an $85 million contract extension and a team that is sucking majorly, I’m thinking they either want him to become a savior or free up some of that money. Either way, this stinks.
Tampa can blame everyone they want – Vinny, Barry Melrose, etc.. it’s not going to change the fact that something is not working and I’m looking at the owners.
Anyway, where could Lecavalier end up? With the Montreal Canadiens. Apparently, there’s been real discussions with Habs GM, Bob Gainey, and the trade could include as many as four NHLers. If that’s the case, this would be a huge deal so I will definitely be keeping my eyes and ears open for news.
