On satellite hotstove Strachan said Vinny wants out of TB for a bigger market. Strachan suggested LA, NY or MTL.
The only thing is is that he broke the Pronger out of EDM and Heatly out of ATL stories so he has been accurate a couple of times.... but so has ecklund ;D

To be honest, if next season I'm trying to negotiate with Vinny and we're struggling, I call up Gainey and see what I can get. It almost seems inevitable he'll be in Montreal, and it's the one place that IMO would pay through the roof for him (or at least as much as anyone else).

Agreed Red. If Vinnie hits the open market, his not ending up a Hab won't be because Gainey got out out-bid.

Didn't Strachan also say that TBay ownership wants to keep Vinny but Richards might be the odd man out?
Way to cover your bases, Al (if it was you that said it).

I'm glad were hearing something of wanting to play in a big market from Vinny.He's won his cup and is living the easy life golf cars weather etc. etc. Really the only market for him is Montrea, his idol is Beliveau and it would be amazing if he got a chance to play in front of le Gros Bill before he passes.If Vinny played here it would be a zoo for him but with the timing of the teams rise if he brought the cup home he'd be a demi god forever in Quebec.That would be spectacular,it honestly would be an experience he could never imagine.

HFTO i can see the twinkle in his eye, he's a quebec kid through and through and still plays and has the passion of a kid, he must think about it from time to time. i'd take short odds on him coming here after tampa. but i won't

I guess the bars outside the ACC do get the odd "insider" wandering through. Thats the only way Strachan could get a scoop. lol

He spreads 1,000,000 rumors and dozens come true. Even a blind pig finds an occasional truffle. George "W" Bush is often right. Far right. An infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters typing for an infinitely long time would have a better record than Eklund.
