dave-O Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Joe Thornton signed with Boston. That's a biggie.Interesting that Thornton and the Bruins settled on a 3 year contract. The Bruins were reportedly looking for a 5 year deal, Thornton reportedly looking for a 1 year deal.Again, it looks like the promise of next year's "even better free agency period" isn't going to happen. None of the younger player who will be eligible under the new CBA are signing 1 year deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Again, it looks like the promise of next year's "even better free agency period" isn't going to happen.Of course it wont! I have been shocked since suggestions flew around about how great it was going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 The agent for Vincent Lecavalier says he's worked out the parameters one year deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning but the two sides continue to hammer away at a long term deal.Kent Hughes says he expects to resume negotiations with Lightning GM Jay Feaster either today or early next week."We really haven't rolled up our sleeves yet on the long-term deal," Hughes tells the St. Petersburg Times. "We kind of talked about certain parameters or terms, but aren't into the nuts and bolts. But we're both committed to working it out."Lecavalier, a restricted free agent, can become an unrestricted free agent next season under terms of the new collective bargaining agreement because he has been in the league for at least eight seasons. However, the 25 year old has made it clear he wants to sign a long-term deal in Tampa Bay.Lecavalier was scheduled to make $4.6-million during the lockout season.Click here to find out more!According to Hughes, Lecavalier has also offered to give the Lightning a "home team discount" on his services if it means keeping the core of the team intact. That likely includes fellow restricted free agent Martin St. Louis."I think Vinny is prepared to take less than what is perhaps fair market value if he wanted to be a free agent next year," Hughes said. "He is prepared to take less to stay in Tampa and try to win one or more additional (Stanley) Cups." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
