7 suspensions in a week (Torres will make it 8). 7 all of last year's playoffs.

The going price to get rid of a star player on the other team is 4 games ,I am suprised that number is not double.

I don't think you will find too much sympathy in a Canucks blog for the Hawks.Keith's hit was way more intentional .The wheel of discipline has determined that hit gets 4-5 games. Torres history may bring that number to 10 games.

some big games tonight! You guys and the Pens on the verge of elimination....should be intense!

You guys think theres a chance you'd move Schneider in the offseason? Given that Luongo will likely be HARD to move, think theres any chance for the right price Cory could be moved?

Ok. I will be frank with you. Stop dreaming CS will be trade to the Leafs, ok?

I am half interested.The style of the game and officiating has left a bad taste in my mouth.The NHL has made it quite apparent ,if you want to win then dress an MMA team that can skate.If Canucks lose tonight I can't see myself watching the rest of this WWF wannabe product.

Edmonton should really consider not drafting Nail Yakipov this year and instead look for someone more like Hulk Hogan .

Luongo is gone.

Ok. I wil be frank with you. Stop dreaming Luongo will be traded and realize that you may need to make other moves other than your wishlist, ok?

No where did I state that he will be traded to the Leafs, just cause thats my team. I wanted your fan bases point of view if you thought there would be a chance that hes moved.

Dont want to discuss it? Dont.

Luongo is gone.
- VANTEL

Best case scenario....yea...but think any team would give him a go with that long term? Frankly, he'd be the best goalie the Leafs had in quite some time if they took a chance, but we all know Burke hates long contracts.

You think they'll just dump him, or only move him for the right price?

They let it go right off the bat I felt....they needed to be more stern with penalties/suspensions to start off and werent...then things got worse. Torres hit will only be 5-10 games because hes Torres.

Columbus, Fla, TB, were mentioned . I know Lu has a NTC but Lu is not stupid he sees now he is number two in the Canucks system.

I could see him going to FLA, he had good years there and I believe his wife still lives there.

Bettman is loving the ratings.I think Alex mentioned earlier, the bigger strong teams are beating the more skilled teams.There are no real rules or officiating.Wrestling and MMA has a strong influence on the sport now ,neither of which I am a fan of.The ratings are at its highest ever.It is now a freak show sport.A team like Pho (which is NHL owned ) have a very good team for to win it all.Their top goal scorer is who???

FLA might take a shot at him, but I dont know about TB with his contract lenght. His cap hit isnt bad, but being signed into 43-45years old or w/e...could stop them from following through with it.

The contact made him leave his feet.

If Brown wasn't suspended, Torres won't.
- Scooby_Doo

Please! Browns hit was a great hit and purely legal!

Yea...and now Burke is trying the same thing. Atleast, so he claims. Stock up on grit and size and hope for the best....although so far, were damn far from a gritty and big team.

They could move him in 3 years. His contract is top loaded so evry passing year he is more attractive to teams.

Vrbata. 35 goals on regular season. 05 more than Daniel.

Yeah Leafs are not big and gritty. Agreed.Neither are the Canucks and you are seeing the results now.

Every passing year, will be Luongo attractive to teams?

If the price is decent I wouldnt be upset if the Leafs tried him out....we really need help in net and there arnt too many options. Its the length of the contract that will likely cause problems with about any teams though.

For arguments sake...what do you think it would take from Toronto to pry him away?

Next year players should send a written notification by lawyers informing that gonna hit a specific player during a specific game. get over it.

well....you want to be a little "grittier" right?

How about we toss in Komisarek and Connolly
