New coach doesn't fix Vincent Lecavalier's relationship with Flyers

Vinny is bad and the Flyers don't want him anymore. Not even with a new coach.

Vincent Lecavalier absolutely hated playing for Craig Berube, and on locker cleanout day in April, he said publicly that he didn't want to come back to the Philadelphia Flyers if Berube remained the coach.

Berube was promptly fired, but that doesn't mean things are better between the team and the once-great NHL forward. It's pretty clear that Flyers general manager Ron Hextall still wants to trade Lecavalier (if he can) and it's probably true that Lecavalier still wants out too.
