Report: Flyers will attempt to trade Vincent Lecavalier during offseason

Here we go again.

For the second straight summer, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Ron Hextall will attempt to unload Vincent Lecavalier via trade, according to Tim Panaccio of CSN.

While Lecavalier's agent confirmed the Flyers didn't submit a buyout offer on the veteran forward's contract, Hextall seems intent on trying to trade him, saying the union "hasn't worked for him and it hasn't worked for us."

The 35-year-old four-time All-star endured a contentious relationship with former head coach Craig Berube, saying he couldn't succeed with the club as long as he was behind the bench. Berube, however, was recently supplanted as head coach by Dave Hakstol, but that doesn't appear to be enough to salvage the relationship.

Lecavalier appeared in only 57 games last season, recording eight goals and 12 assists while averaging a career-low 12:39 of ice time. He's only one season removed from scoring 20 goals in 69 games, and clearly believes he has gas left in the tank.

A trade may not be easy, considering Lecavalier has three years and $13.5 million remaining on his deal, but Hextall will do his best to find a partner, possibly as soon as the NHL Draft on June 26.
