Crazy rumors all over the place. Heard rumor Vancouver wanted visnovsky from isles and Isles wanted to throw in DP. Unfortunately for us Isles fans, there is no chance anyone takes DP back in any trade. We are stuck with that guy for eternity. I don't believe Snow would ever offer up DP anyway. That is Wang's best friend

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.

Aaaaaaaaaannnnnnd that is why Luongo is on a $5+ mil dollar contract for the next 50 years. Ok then.

When did I say all teams. Theres probably 3-6 and they're anyone's guess. If the Cancuks didn;t have Luongo or Schneider and had mediocre goaltending for the ebst few years, I would care less about his contract.

Sure you would.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Boinker is Robert John Bardo.

Isn't it possible that no one trades for this guy and he just gets bought out after this season?
- houseofcards74



They are not buying him out, First of all, they don't have to buy him out after this season they can wait an extra year if they needed to. Secondly would you want be the GM that has to ask ownership to cut a check for 45 mil or so, to let a guy walk away and choose where he plays next.

I understand he has a no trade clause, so right now he has a certain amount of say in where he plays, but if he was bought out, Gillis would have absolutely zero say in where he ends up.

That's a little offside, I'm talking hockey, meanwhile you're being a douche. Am I not allowed to like the organization I'm a fan of.
- Boinker

You're not talking hockey - you are puffing out your chest and professing your mad love for all things Canucks.

You want to talk hockey? Great.

Quit telling fans of 29 other teams that they are idiots for not wanting to give up superstars and 1st round draft picks for Luongo.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. If Luongo hasn't been traded yet, it's a pretty good indication that either nobody wants him, or at the very least nobody is willing to give up signficant assets to get him.

And try to keep him mind: you haven't achieved anything. It's great that you cheer for the Canucks, but anyone can do that. It doesn't make you better than anyone who cheers for any other team, including the Leafs.

You're just a guy who spent too much money buying a few sweaters and hats.

How can fans from the worst ran organization in profesional sports, over the last decade, question a GM of a team that's been the best one of the best over the last four years. That's creepy........

Keep Luongo until the trade deadline, and if someone doesn't drastically overpay keep him until the offseason. Obviously you can't judge CS by one game but what if he has a rough start to the season? It will be harder to overcome in a shortened schedule. If the Leafs miss the playoffs again they would be a lot more desperate to deal over the summer than they are right now where anything could happen.

I agree. So if they traded for LU it would just be a different name and they would lose an asset. Does not make sense to me. The Flyers need help on D before they should do anything in goal.

I totally agree...The (frank)ing defense is a total mess...Too many 3-4 dmen...

You've lost me. I'm not expecting the world for Luongo, but I'm expecting more than a 3rd line center. I'm expecting a prospect and a player that can play on the Canucks and make an impact. You're all saying Gillis is an idiot and a crap GM, but you'd love him if you had him.

What shred of credibility you have left you lost by posting the possibility of Lou going to Ottawa.
