got the craziest email this past week from a Canucks fan saying, "I am really concerned about Schneider playing in the playoffs...." (so you are probably thinking as I was, "sure he hasn't played in nearly as many games as Luongo he might struggle" but read on) and he continued, "What if Schneider plays so well we win the Cup with him? What will we do with Luongo next year? With his contract being so long, etc?"

What happens??? "You win the freaking CUP is what happens!" I responded.

Sure, because you watched LA play 5 games of it?

With Plekanec, Kessel would be hitting 40+ goals a season.

total crap - only possible if Plekanec is in a contract year.

... the real question is, what are the odds that that is a true story. I would say 0%

Didn't take long for the Canuck trolls to come back eh? You would think they would stay away for a bit atleast.

the riot was shorter in duration this year, to accurately reflect the playoff season.

actually, I'm shocked at the "quietness" oozing from VanCity - actually very pleasant.

you should put it in a quote or reference where you read it.... I thought it was your story too

I hope so..... how dumb to you have to be to not win the cup because it poses a problem getting rid of Lou.

I think he ends up in TBay. His cap hit is good and the contract is really only for 6 years (the last 3 or 4 are certain retirement years). Rolosen makes 3.5 so it's only adding an extra 1.8 milly to the cap. They have room if they don't mind the real $$.

This summer has the potential for lots of g'tender movement.

Today's guess ...

Luongo - Tbay ..with Detroit and Toronto as maybe's.
Thomas - Chicago ...with SJose and Detroit as maybe's.
Kipper (if he's moved) - Wash'ton ...with lots of other interest.

If Halak is available I could see Toronto as one of the front runners to land him.

No one will believe this, but I'm very sure Lou will be heading to Toronto - I'm pretty sure everyone will be surprised (maybe both negative or positive, depending on who you ask) with the trade-off.

I wouldnt be surprised.... Burke said he will address the goalie issue, but taking the remaining 10 years is what I dont see Burke doing.

I only hope its not for picks or prospects..and we can send some salary back (one of our 4 komi/conol/army/lombo)

It'll be a career saver/breaker - depending on the spin.

I hope not. I do think he's better than he gets credit for. I think he was just a scapegoat in Vancouver, but it would be the same...if not WORSE in Toronto.

If it cost us Komi, Lombardi and a 2nd rounder I'd be on board

I fully believe that even if he sucked ont he LEafs, the order of blame would go like this regardless of who is at fault:

1) Burke
2) Kessel
3) Schenn/Kadri
4) Luongo

So he would have a decent amount of time before he faced all the heat like in Vancouver.
