| 16th January, 2009 - 10:09 am |  ESPN - The Lightning confirmed Thursday they had indeed paid Vincent Lecavalier a $500,000 bonus that was due to him by Jan. 15, despite reports that the sum was in jeopardy.
"Yes, Vinny was paid his bonus today on schedule, just as all our other players were paid according to their contracts and the provisions of the CBA," Lightning GM Brian Lawton said in a statement.
There have been numerous reports that Tampa Bay is in financial disarray, but the club has denied any issues.
"It's time to stop this foolishness, the team is on solid financial ground and it will continue to operate that way," Lawton said. "Nobody needs to worry about whether our players are going to be paid or not. It's foolish and it's irresponsible to report anything different." [READ] |
