I say we wrap a chain around Luongo's ankles attached to a cement block, and drop him off the Seawall... no recapture if he can't fulfill the contract!

So the rumour is out there, the oilers offered the 7 pick and Klefbon for Schneider.

I'm not sure that is a whole lot different than what I said it would take.

So do you do it?

Good sure, but I wouldn't say very good. I don't see him as a top 10 goalie like you do, and I see Schneider with very realistic top 5 potential(needs a full season of his usual numbers before he's in that discussion) and IMO he's a top 10 goalie already right now.


Not to mention the increased cap penalties with the longer time Luongo is a Canuck and the fact that the team is pretty much stuck with him until he retires then.

If Schneider is dealt the price will be high. And if the oilers truly are very interested in him Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and one of a 2014 first rd pick, Klefbom or Paajarvi will be the return.

Seriously... Firstly Vancouver would not be able to sign him.

Secondly, why the hell would the Oilers to get Schneider. Especially since you guys think you can get Hall, Eberle or Nuge...

He doesn't need to be the best in the NHL, how many Vezina winners won the Stanley Cup in the same season last 15 years? He just needs to be good, which he is. Would I prefer Schneider at the end of the day, of course I would...I'm not a stupid man!

If Lu plays for another say three or four years, the Canucks can then buy him out at a much lower price (for the Aquilini's) and the cap will be much much higher.

Yup, just saw that video myself and it sounds like that's the asking price.

So, anything happen? Is someone on suicide watch at Fosco's and/or Nucker's? I'd help riot but I just can't be bothered to care that much.

I'm good until Schneider gets traded. I'd worry about Fosco though if Edler gets traded.

- hugefemale dog77

don't blame you there. I think Dubnyk might be a good goalie in a couple of years. Admittedly I haven't seen him a lot but he looks technically sound, big, and capable.

Wow tomorrow is gonna be an interesting day or a very boring nothing day....I'm hoping for the former.

Love the idea of a real "reset" from Chubby Cheeks...no I'm not talking about Nonuts.
