The Lightning are buying out his contract.  Only NHL team he's ever known:

ESPN NHL blogger says at least a dozen teams will probably have some interest:

What do you fans in the area think?  I will miss him, he's been great for Tampa Bay and a solid hockey player and leader.

Haven't had a chance to read about what the other options were but I thinked they ****** up royally from a PR perspective. Vinny did a great job in the community. Remains to be seen if this hurts them in season tix sales.

Wow, that's the Lightning's most indentifiable player besides Marty St. Louis.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
