So you're saying Luongo wont be playing in the playoffs?

Did the Kings win the cup this season or last?

They didn't win any cup in the season. I don't think you can. They did win the cup last yr

Nice thing to ask leafs fans....

They won last season. He turns 34 April 4. The season wont be over. This is one of those where its just best to let it go and walk away.

It was weird. Now its just uncomfortable.

not my intension

The canucks are not currently over the cap, and with the given Ballard buy out they will have about about 9 under the cap next yr. Got anymore stories

I get sarcasm is hard to see in written messages but comonnn..

" Mason Raymond part of a serious deal", We'll add raymond for free , but in all honesty he did get 25 goals 2 seasons ago if he was in toronto he would get 5.5mil

Theodore and Markstrom are good enough. We don't need that bum Luongo, Vancouver would have to settle for close to nothing if he comes to Florida.

Vancouver on the down turn

Florida rising as one of the best teams in the NHL.

LOVE IT!!

They only have a couple fans....It's hard for them to keep up with the switching back and forth....

Clark MacArthur would have been 3rd for goals on the Canucks last year. If he was a Canuck he would get a 12 year deal.

Hope he doesn't hurt himself.

It was said earlier by a leader that canucks fans think Raymond is amazing

So if Luongo is traded before the season starts, or before the deadline, his new team still has the option to buy him out after the season, correct?

it works for goalies, you missed on this one

It works for everything.

I guess, but this question may get flamed

I think this is the most logical post on the matter.

I'm a little confused about one thing in the new CBA though. Assuming Lu gets traded to Toronto and retires(not due to injury) with 3 years remaining on his contract. So even though hes been a Maple Leaf for many years at that point, his cap hit would then be added to Vancouver's cap, correct?

Seems to me that this would make him more intriguing to a team like Toronto since they wouldn't have to worry about being stuck with that cap hit. If I'm Gillis, there's no way I move him then. I'd play the year out and use the amnesty buyout option on him and just hope he goes to a team in the East.

Good point. I believe so, and it also makes him more intriguing for a team that wants a goalie for this season and next that could then buy him out. Like a 2 year rental.

I could see a deal like this :

To Vancouver :
Shawn Horcoff
Linus Omark

To Edmonton :
Roberto Luongo
2nd Round Pick

Vancouver gets a serviceable center who can help out on the PK & PP, especially while Ryan Kesler is out with an injury. And as he only has two more seasons left on his contract, they could potentially buy him out if he's not fitting in. They also get a young offensive forward with "potential" in Omark.

Edmonton obviously gets a starting goalie to help out their young team. The Oilers would then turn around and deal Devan Dubnyk in the summertime in a package deal for some defensive help.

I can't see these two teams making this deal, to be honest, but (in my head) it does make sense. I'd hate to see Dubby go, but to get a true #1, it may be something the Oil would have to consider.

Thats what im hearing, but who really knows. This is the only condition I could live with, as a fan.

I wouldn't mind MacArthur but I think hes more of a 3rd liner on a contending team and we already have Higgins and Hansen as very good 3rd line wingers. Kulemin would be great but I highly doubt Burke would do that.

Correct...

The problem is if he turns into a flop and refuses to retire...A team cant even waive his ass and is stuck with him until retirement...That could be several yrs.....


Funny thing is the team who trades for him and the nucks could both end up screwed...
