Canucks will get a lot more for Luongo now since Burke promised ownership he'd be a leaf after the cba was concluded and now Burke is gone. Why you ask?
Well the new owners want Bobby Luo and Burke didn't want to pay the price the Canucks were asking. Now there's pressure on nonis to get Luo and gillis knows it.the cba wasn't as harsh as Burke thought it would be on the Canucks in terms of cap hit or penalty for the front loaded deal. Burke thought he'd get Luo for a song but the Canucks can actually hold onto him with the 70 mill cap and await better offers from desperate GMs. This will force nonis to do what Burke wouldn't.the pressure is all on nonis.
Canucks will get bozak, Gardiner (or some other half decent dman which rules out phaneuf), and a solid prospect.
