I'm not sure Lu is upset behind closed doors. IMO he relishes his role right now. All the pressure is off.
I think Lu has grown up a lot over the last yr and a half. He understands now that he is a piece of the team, not the whole team.
- Bieksa#3

I think he stays or opens up the amount of teams he will go to.

I think maybe him and Gillis are seeing who will blink first.

Players not wanting to play in Edm is nothing new so can't hold them against them. Can't say I love living here.(Mostly cause I hate cities) Lu has shown great class in his situation even with the way he gets thrown under the bus every time he has a bad game. Rarely hear him complain about anything.
EDIT: And not sure why he would be refusing a deal that I am not convinced ever existed in the first place. Where is proof of said deal?

You know why people turned on Lu? Because he never shouldered his share of the blame when he was at fault. He numerous times called out his team if they played bad but not himself.
I believe Lu has now learned he isn't the big picture

"Ah the big smoke, the center of the universe… hockey’s Meca, just ask anyone from Toronto, this is hockey town… well until early April it is"

Agreed and he was letting in shaky goals at times.

He's back!

The way Canuck management and its fans treats its goalies just make me . Lu deserved better. That said, still doubt there is ever a deal involving the 2 teams(edit:edm/van) as both GMs are too cautious to make a deal the other would be willing to make. Considering we are division rivals. Only way division rivals make a deal is with a panicking GM on his way out the door.

Yes, yelling LU even when he touches the puck on a dump in is pretty bad....

Jason Botchford is on twitter . He is a MSM writer for the province .Go tweet him . He is the one that said these things. It is not up to me to explain to a EDM fan about the ins and outs of the Canucks.

We will see how this plays out over the next few weeks but I think there is an outside shot Schneider goes. The teams will line up for him.

I don't think anyone would blame Lu for your continuous failures in the playoffs. How many goals did you score against Boston in the final?

You are two years late....how many did you guys score in the last few playoffs?

Proposal:

Luongo, Raymond, Ballard + Rai for Ovechkin, Schultz + 2nd round pick.

Let’s be honest, Ovechkin is no where near the player he once was. His contract goes on for another 10 years, and who knows how much longer he stays in North America. The Canucks are taking a serious gamble on this deal, but if it pays off…look out. Imagine the Sedins playing with Ovechkin on their wing??? Wow, instant best line in hockey. This is a long shot, but would help out both teams.


Haha I hope you are joking!! If not keep on dreaming!!

Is this before or after Kassian destroys Keith?

Very solid work, Scooby. Nice tongue & cheek to stir up the Oil & Leaf faithful.
I agree about Philly being the logical suitor.

Even though Lu is saying the right things I am not sure behind closed doors it is the same.

According to Botchford there was a deal on the table that was ready at the draft between Van/Tor . Lu vetoed it. I think he wants FLA and that is why he offered two other teams that would refuse (NYR and CHI) . THis leaves FLA and they offered peanuts so Gillis said thanks ,no-thanks.

This is why Gillis is saying ok then you are staying here.
- VANTEL

Exactly it is Chicago or stay put

End of story
Gillis signed a good goalie for 12 years and he will pay him for 12 years
So be it

Outside Canuxk land no one really cares

If i was Keith I'd be awful careful of Kassian on the forecheck

Yet here you are posting about it. Clearly somebody cares

Schneider to the Jackets for Ryan Johansson and Nikitan

I actually think they are most logical for either of our goalies

Will I be arguing like a jerk and sent over to the Leafs board if I say no?

Sulzberger just scored.

Sabres fans say he's been one of their best d men.

Suddenly because you have Kassian your a tough team?
Whatever
Hawks are not going to push the Canucks around and the wimpy Canucks will not be pushing the Hawks around or any other team in this league

Too bad Kassian wasn't around when little Marchand made your Captain look like the wimp he is in the Stanley Final against Boston
Ouch
