I can't wait to see the bidding war for Luongo begin.

I'm gonna cry if Schneider gets traded instead. I said the same about Hodgson too.

If Lu is bought out Philly would be his #8 choice.

I think Tampa would be his first choice, decent team, no media and gets to chill in Florida with his wife and kids.

At this point I could care less who gets traded. Just get it over with. I'd be happy with either. Look at the Blackhawks, as long as you have the best team playing their best in front of the goalie. You can win. Crawford sucked haha

Hurricanes looking for a top 4 defenseman for their 1st round pick.

Ballard would be top 4 on the Canes.

I watched a fair clip of the Canes this last year. They need help. Definitely would seam like a possibility.

You don't win without great goaltending.

Crawford (playoffs): 16-7, 1.84 GAA, .932 SV %

He let in a few softies, but he kept them in plenty of games and gave the team an opportunity to win. He allowed 2 or less goals in 4 of 6 finals games. Allowed 3 in one (it was a triple OT victory). Had 1 bad game.

Agreed. IMO Luongo is no longer a great goalie(not top 10 IMO), and Schneider is. A great goalie helps your team get away with a lot more mistakes and bad stretches of play, which is huge in the playoffs.

yes, thanks for the update. Someone already beat you to it. I don't really follow small market teams so I guess I shouldn't talk about them.

1. We traded a 2nd round pick for Derek Roy who sucked(some say it's because of how he was used, others say that he's just a declining player, might have been both).

2. We almost traded or Clowe, but he chose NYR, Sharks outbid us for Torres.

3. The Sharks swept our asses, refs were horrible but the team sucked anyways. Luongo started the first couple of games because Schneider was hurt apparently, Luongo was decent, Kesler had one monster game and the rest of the team was either average or sucked.

4. AV, Bowness and Brown are all fired.

5. TB hires Bowness.

6. Rangers fire Torts and hire AV.

7. Leafs trade for Bernier(at this point even the homers realize that Luongo has little to no trade value).

8. Canucks then hire Torts.

Oh, and Higgins got 4 years, Lappy looks like he's gone, Booth might actually stay, Raymond is gone, Sestito got a one year deal, Alberts looks like he's gone as well.

Boom!

The Leafs made the playoffs. Went to game 7 against Boston. Were up by 3 goals with under 10 minutes left. Lost in OT.

That's pretty much all you need to know about the past year. Everything else sucked.

Yes, yes they did. Sad thing is that the Leafs played way better in the playoffs than the Canucks.

The Flyers and Bruins are getting away with it with Pronger and Savard. Neither have actually retired yet.

But they're both legitimately injured.
