Vincent Lecavalier named as coach? Last-minute development emerges
A highly interesting idea has surfaced on social media, involving Martin St-Louis and Vincent Lecavalier.

Burrows, who left for personal reasons, has yet to be replaced alongside Martin St-Louis.

After all, Martin St-Louis and Vincent Lecavalier were an incredible duo on the ice for so many years.
