| 13th January, 2009 - 6:22 pm |  NHL.com - The Lightning and Vincent Lecavalier are denying trade rumors involving the center going to the Canadiens for a package of players and draft picks.
"I am from there. My family is from there," Lecavalier told Montreal's La Presse. "My friends as well. I grew up with the Canadiens. I understand there are a lot of rumors presently. But they are rumors. I have heard them throughout my career. I like playing in Tampa, I am a loyal person."
Lightning General Manager Brian Lawton also dismissed the reports.
"To suggest we're engaging in conversations to trade him or we're shopping him to all teams in the National Hockey League is completely inaccurate," Lawton told the St. Petersburg Times. "It's false, egregious and it's abusive toward the player. I can tell you if a player of that stature were ever going to be traded, I would go meet with him, face to face, and discuss the situation. That has never happened." [READ] |
