They should have moved him over the summer

Now it's a distraction
- homiedclown

Not yet. It will be though. Also, Gillis was gambling he'd get a better deal during the year, when teams get desperate. I think he's right.

As long as the Leafs are letting in less than 3 goals a game, and Kadri(a piece Gillis insists upon) is putting the puck in the net, TOR isn't happening.

My money's on either PHI or NJ.

PHI because Bryz won't get it together, and NJ, because they desperatly need a replacement for Marty
- AngryWhiteMale

I dont think Kadri would be going regardless weve developed him, the only way kadri would be dealt would be for also good young talent like the hodgson trade.

Honestly, the with Carlyle's system in place, I can't see the Leafs biting on this.

2 games in the books and we've let in a total of 3 goals. 1.5 GAA isn't too bad.
- ILoveLamp

Just Wait it will come.

Just like Summer follows Spring and New Years follows Christmas The Leafs will always come back to reality.

Gillis is a hypocritical Douche-Canoe. Complaining about the media one week, then using them the next. And... Holy crap... They made another Universal Soldier Movie ???

Gillis would turn your franchise around. You'd be lucky to have him. As we are.

We'd want more than Gagner. That's for sure. Especially within the division, that's crazy.
- Boinker

Which is why canucks fans are retarded. You want a kings ransom for a shiit goalie who is 34, and has one of the worst contracts in the league.

Your GM has no leverage in negotiating.

Mark my words; Luongo will never play a game in a Maple Leafs uniform.

Im more than happy watching my boy kadri being the best player on the leafs in the futur.

I agree, that kids got serious offensive talent, Toronto would be stupid to trade what little high end talent they have.

Philly and Vancouver ain't matches for this deal.

Anyone know why Mike Gillis has a HockeyBuzz login?

HAHAHAHAHA
- The-O-G

What? It's beliveable, right??

The next sound Gillis heard was 'click'

Gillis is full of it. If he really had a deal that close why would he go out into the public and announce it?

Doesn't make sense.

He's doing what EK states...trying to up the ante from Florida and Toronto. Unless another team is willing to move there starter and that starter makes significantly less then Lou there are only a finite number of teams he could be moved to.

Gillis is getting nervous.

Not yet. It will be though. Also, Gillis was gambling he'd get a better deal during the year, when teams get desperate. I think he's right.

Vancouver may be on that list.

Gagner doesn't help our team. Maybe for two weeks but as soon as Kesler's back, there's no use. You think we'd trade a premier goalie to a division rival for a 3rd line center? You're f ing crazy. How many top end goalies get traded for one and two how often within the division. We'd be expecting a ransom from Edmonton...that;s why he's not going there.

Isn't it possible that no one trades for this guy and he just gets bought out after this season?

totally forgot about that bro.

Has PK signed yet?

He signed every player we have to discounts enabling us to afford players like Hamhuis and Booth. He created a culture here were players wanna play. He didn't trade Schneider and is one intelligent man. The Canucks will be at the top of the west for a long, long time.

Luongo holds more value than Vinny. So They;d have to throw in a high end prospect as well. Luongo is the better player right now and is on a better contract.
- Boinker

High End Prospect? Naw Lou isnt that much better than Vinny and contract, Vinny and Malone for Lou and your 1st

- houseofcards74

Luongo for a lock of Fillpula's hair???

@NHLSourcesSay
#Stars #Flyers #Avalanche #Oilers all contacted #Canucks regarding Luongo, Main piece for each team, Benn, Couturier, O'Reilly, Gagner...
- PatC80

The Avs have the ability to make it happen but I can't see them taking on that salary. Not for that long a period of time. Doesn't make sense.

The Oil are an interesting option but I just don't think they will the trigger. Definetely a team to watch but with all those RFA's coming up in a couple years can you really re-sign them all with Lou's contract there?

The Stars have Kari signed for the next 5 years at more then Lou and the Flyers are stuck with the nut job of a tender.

Just don't see how it would work.

Why the (frank) would someone buy out 30 million dollars for one and two why would you buy out a player with serious value to an organization. Crazy talk.

This is starting to get a tad creepy.

High End Prospect? Naw Lou isnt that much better than Vinny and contract, Vinny and Malone for Lou and your 1st
- Jimmy_wiener

Malone is negative value to us.
