No reason to lie about that.

that's way less speculative than speculating he did.

They only go there for the beer

The jury is still out on whether or not Luongo turned down a trade.

Scary thing is I've always said I would only take Lu if he was free.

I now realize that isn't enough.

Vancouver has to agree to eat dollars in last 4 years of contract. And I'm talking a meal from Chili's - not just a snack.

Otherwise, no thank you.

He had a strong connection to the Panthers and angled for himself to get moved there so he cut out the only other option to try and have the deal sealed. Then Gillis couldn't get enough out of the Panthers and everything collapsed until recently.

Not for free. Not with their top prospect. Not with their 1st round pick. He can rot in Vancouver.

If Reimer / Scrivens choke, Nonis is going to be on the phone for Luongo in a hurry. Luongo is what put Nonis on the map in Vancouver and he would do it again if the price was right. The price can and will go lower.



Luongo as a UFA? Never going to happen.

What if the Nucks buy him out.

good god what happened

They won't while Gillis is GM.

Drugs and Alcohol, baby!

Nice glasses.

Are they for sale, too?

Won't happen. Nobody pays a guy 27 million dollars to not play for the team especially with at least one team who would take the guy for free if it really came down to that. It would take the Canucks 20 home playoff games just to pay that off.

Body's for sale. Any takers?

Did you kill another hooker Frenchy???

Won't happen. Nobody pays a guy 30 million dollars to not play for the team especially with at least one team who would take the guy for free if it really came down to that. It would take the Canucks 20-30 home playoff games just to pay that off.

So at this point, regardless of whether the GM making the call is Gillis or someone else, it's Schneider that gets moved

True, keep forgetting that albatross of a contract

Too much vodka will do that

Well he charged 20 dollars for a french kiss, and then tried to give me the lips.

That kind of a mistake can't stand.

That's up to Gillis but odds are, Luongo doesn't want to stay in Vancouver so he can't trade Schneider and probably has to give Luongo away for free to the first team stupid enough to take him.

And the best part is this: their longshot was to put him on waivers and pray.

Leafs got away with it because they treated Komi properly.

No way in Hades Lu agrees to it. He's angling for buyout now.

I can't wait to troll Esplen's thread this summer.

Dream team is back.

Pretty wacky, guess the NYR grew a pair over the past few days

I doubt he'd be thrilled at staying in VAN even if Schneids was moved.

That said, the options available are shrinking
