Well I just didn't like the insulting term "trailer" home. I prefer to call it a "Mobile" home. And I'm not a "janitor", I work in the field of "custodial arts and sciences".

Luongo has to actually get paid, though. Two completely different scenarios.

they wanted his contract for this year, they did not need the player. So why take luongo and his contact for years when they already have DP long contract.

Did I say anything about the Kings? No. Did I say anything about the Stanley Cup? No. I said the Leafs suck and no one cares what you "said" you would do. No fire storm etc etc. You would just sit there and complain to your mom as she made Mac and Cheese for you.

Should of took komi Edit: we would of gave him to you guys for FREE
- Mapleleafs_91


Actually when Komi has played he has been decent this season because of the new system..If anything we woulda gave them Connoly and a new bag of pucks just for taking him off of our cap hit..

the point is someone will trade for an older goalie with a similar cap hit who just took the year off and may never play again instead of Luongos stupid contract

NO

they needed a goalie and thought this was more worthwhile than Luongos 50 year deal

BobMcKenzie: Which is ideal for NYI. No acquisition price. NYI can toll contract to next year if they like, continue to get cap benefit in perpetuity.



Isles have a solid cap hit forever.....

No, the point is a team had to cheat its way to make it to the cap floor by trading for a player that they don't even have to pay. In the end they won't end up giving a single pick or prospect in order to not be penalized for being such tightwads. Luongo will have to be paid and will require very good prospects and/or picks to obtain.
