The final touches are still being worked on and nothing can be formally announced until July 1, but sources tell TSN the Tampa Bay Lightning and superstar centre Vinny Lecavalier have agreed to terms on a mega-deal that will pay him $77 million over nine years.

The annual salary cap hit to the Lightning will be about $8.55 million for the length of the contract, but the final year of the contract is said to be only for about $3 million, which means that if Lecavalier retired after eight seasons, his average salary would be as much as $9.4 million.

The deal comes with the expected "no-movement" clause and should guarantee that Lecavalier will finish his NHL career with the team that drafted him No. 1 overall.

Sources say there are still some minor structuring aspects of contract required for it to become complete, but the announcement should made on or sometime just after July 1.

Making sure he stays to build a team around him and Stamkos! not bad.

I think Cito is trying to break them out of the Gibbons small ball mentality...When you're at the plate, really try to HIT the ball, not just put it in play.

Why would you want to tell Schwa you agree with him...boooorrrrrriiiinnnngggg.

Any thoughts on who'll replace Emery?

Looks like good times stachedawg, thanks for sharing!

Rip George

you're the one punkin' out on frontier town, punk.

Dude, I would love to go with you, but I'll be at frontier town....DAMN!

Sheebs and I are In like Flynn!

Under a rock....apparently

Redonkulous

Happy Birthday!

Don't forget ballroom dancing! Fierce competition.

They were sweet at Pepperjacks a little while back..

I think you mean as if he ISN"T rooting for Tiger to miss, and of course he is going to tell the reporters that he would never do that because that is what they are all supposed to say. It's a gentleman's game after all. The correct response to those questions is " I wish him well, all I can do is go out there and play 1 on 1 with the course, and do my best." It's standard stuff really.

What I think is so likeable about Rocco is that he never denied that he was in awe of Tiger. He's the working mans golfer, just happy to be there. The guy had to qualify a week ago for the tournament, then gets into a playoff with the best golfer in history...ya what an asshole.

Another victory for the MAN!!! Tiger is a golf robot.

If he's a golf robot, he wouldn't even be a man now, would he.

I know!

Most exciting finish EVER!!!

YEAH!!

It's pretty fucking awesome right now though!! Whoo!!

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it...highlights might be the best you'll get.

You got Tivo? I'm not giving away the ending man, just updating those who want to know.

If Tiger is taking pain medication, would that be considered performance enhancing at the moment?

Even funnier to listen to the Golf Commentators talking about the NBA Finals...make it sound like the most boring thing ever!
