You forgot to mention how bad Luongo's contract was. Sorry, this oversite caused the deal to fall apart.

Damn...better luck next time, lol

ha ha...well played.
Has anyone heard anything whether the NHL is going to giving Centre Ice free for the season?
- BoBBeR56

What I heard was the all cable companys control most of that, so getting everything lined up is going to be impossible for the start of the year. they could knock the NHL's take off of it, but it really wouldn't do much.

I believe they could maybe do free online.

flyers are now involved in the MIX....so sounds better Snyder will BUY out Bryz..and go after LUO leafs better up their offers.........now who would the Flyers give? who does Gillis take in Philly???

Oh I completely get that, my issue was the way Tom insulted Ian because he suggested a #1 pick would be part of a deal with the canucks.

Personally I think Gillis is asking for too much and the eventual trade will be something of a lesser extent. More around what Beiksa3 is suggesting.
- Makita

I agree. As much fun as the last 2 days have been, I still think if Luongo goes to TO it will be Luongo for Bozak, Ashton and Franson. Raymond might be involved as well as som picks but anything more then that would be a bonus.

NOPE! Leafs won't be getting involved in a bidding war, ESPECIALLY with Philly.

He doesn't need a Leaf jersey for that title . I think when they do the poll this year he will be #1

Van I won't go as far as saying your hate/dislike for Kesler is as bad as Booners for Bieksa but it has to be close. I get it, the guy Louganis'd it throughout the year last year but he wasn't 100% or even close. If he keeps up the shenanigans this year again it will be warranted but give the guy a chance to redeem himself at least. I think he's a pretty important piece for this team to get that elusive 1st Cup.

Don't worry -- we'll show those Flyers. Lou will OURS, OUR I SAY!!!!

Kassian was a player I wanted the Leafs to draft but he seems to have regressed in his development, if the guy can just get it together.
- LeafMan

Is Kassian the new Hodgson?

Amnesty buyouts don't happen until the summer, so unless you think the Flyers are going to carry Luongo and Breezy, I don't see this happening.

no offense ian but if you think you are getting a top tier piece of youth like rielly or gardiner you are kidding yourselves.

let us visit history shall we?
who did the nucks trade for luongo?

a dishevelled Bertuzzi thats who. a mere shadow of himself after the famous moore incident.

anyways, the complete trade was this:

Florida got Bertuzzi (who was a mess after the Moore incident), Alex Auld and Bryan Allen

Vancouver got Luongo, Krajichek, and a 6th rounder

this was when luongo was 27 not 33.. and not signed to a ten year deal

if nucks fans think they are getting top tier youth they are in for one hell of a surprise

sorry.. but luongo's value now is less than a ruined bertuzzi, Auld and Allen.

thats the kind of deal you are looking at tops. sorry to burst your bubble.

We spent all day yesterday on Burke now its Luongo's turn be fair.

Bob McCowan just said the dicussion between MLSE and Burke went like this


MLSE:Brian you need to make the playoffs this year or you are fired. Do you think you can make the playoffs with Luongo?

Burke :Yes I think we can but the asking price is too high they want Gardiner and Kadri.

MLSE : Will he help you make the playoffs.

Burke:Yes ,but it is a bad hockey move.

MSLE :Brian make the trade for Luongo.

Burke: No I can't do that.

MSLE:Brian you are fired.


McCowan just said this 5 min ago.

Is this stupid shyt storm over yet?
