Yes, Luongo and Schneider are both in the top 5 ... Lundquist, Quick and Lack round out that list

So Luongo is a top 5........which makes Schnieder a top 4........

1) Lundqvist
2) Renne
3)Quick
4)Schnieder
5) Luongo

I wonder what......Kipper,Ward,Price,Brodeur,Smith, would think of this analysis.


i would put all ahead of both Vancouvers Goalies

With Kesler out for a bit I think van needs a guy who can somewhat fill in at 2nd line till he returns. Thus Bozak would be needed
- Bieksa#3


Hence why I included Lombardi. For me, I would not include Bozak. The value is just too high going to Vancouver if it's Bozak and Franson. Two guys that are capable, and could turn into very good players. All at very, very reasonable cap hits.

No Bozak.

Connolly was a ppg player in Buffalo.........he has 1 year left, perhaps he helps van on the 3rd line where they need help this year. perhaps he is injured for most of the year........either way his deal expires this year.......you are essentialy trading 10 bad contract years for 1, and you get a decent prospect in Percy (25th overall 1st rounder).......with the depth that Toronto has with young puck movers, they could afford to let Percy go......if you need to throw in a 3rd-4th rounder fine......but it seems like a fair deal to me
- billyberg10



Lee Sweat was a ppg player in Vancouver, but look how that turned out.

So the Leafs eat $1.7M in cap x 4 for Komi not to play in Toronto and take on Luongo's $5.33M cap hit x 10, basically making Toronto's cap hit for Luongo $7.03M for the next 4 years and $5.33M for the final 6 years.

Never mind Burke being canned if the Leafs miss the playoffs, Burke should immediately be canned if he ever made this deal!

Not even going to comment on Komi at $10-12M x 4. PFFFT!

First off Rinne is far and away the better goalie(better numbers for the past 2 years and more wins)
Smith had a stellar season for Phoenix and put up better numbers and is younger. he carried a below average team to the west finals.
Howard had better numbers than Lu and is younger and only getting better.
Kippur put up better numbers on a team that didn't make the playoffs clearly the better goalie.
Price played for the worst team in the east and still had a similar GAA and % to Lu who was on the best team.
Halak did play less games but his numbers are stupid good and way better than Lu
Lethonen is the most underrated goalie in the NHL on a non playoff team he put up more wins, a better GAA and a better %
Ward has a cup and con smyth 2 things Lu will never have! Put up similar numbers on a worse team.
Miller has gone through injuries and the team was all out of whack last year but he's an amazing goalie and has a vezina another thing Lu will never get.
Thomas if he was playing is obviously better than Lu, better numbers and better resume which include a cup, conn smyth and 2 vezinas

All these goalies are younger(except Thomas and Kippur) and are simply better goalies than Lu.

Thanks for taking the time to write all that, but you are still Wrong, and you couldn't be more wrong if your name was Mr. Wrong and you were the mayor of Wrongville.

PS: It's Kipper not Kippur.

I'm sorry but in what world can Lombardi contribute on the 2nd line of a decent team. Bozak, Ashton and one of Percy, Finn, and Franson.

Raymond has proven he can score goals. Ballard has proven he can move the puck and be a very effective offensive defenseman.

They dont fit in our plans for the future. They both absolutley have value. Detroit is rumored to be persuing Ballard.

Raymond has scored 25 goals and is possibly the fastest player in the league. He was off last year and I dont blame him. Have you ever recovered from a broken back?

- vancity787

Using your own logic, Blake comeau proved he can score, but he was waived and now took a pay cut.

I like how you backed up your reasoning with logical facts. Oh wait, sorry you're a Canuck fan. Blind homerizm then. Good show.

Luongo will not be traded to the Leafs, no matter how "creative" the deal is. Period. /End thread.
