Then enjoy Reimer
- VANTEL

Reimer and Scrivens... sounds good to me. about 2.8 mill in goalies for the season.
They preform..great, they suck... lottery pick here we come.

You're not buying, Burke and Nonis are. Where can you find some written material with Burke saying "I don't like Luongo"? I'll wait. He doesn't like these type of contracts I agree, but the front loaded heavy money has been paid out. I suspect Burke likes working as oppose to not work as a GM, he'll do whatever it takes to win NEXT YEAR!
- LeftCoaster

Nonis thinks Lu is the best in the game.

TO has no hope for the next 2 years with this team of seeing the playoffs. There are very few impact goalies that could help your team RIGHT NOW.Take a pill and relax and next year we will be bashing him ,and you will be praising him, but it is your only chance of making the playoffs.
- VANTEL

Dude. Seriously. Quit pretending like you know the Leafs and what's best for them. You sound like a used car salesman when it comes to Luongo and the Leafs.

On the flipside, I guess we could also say that Vancouver's "ONLY CHANCE" to win a cup is in the next 2 years, because in 2 years the Sedin's will be 34 and it already appears that their best years are behind them given that their production has been steadily declining for the past 3 years.

Give it a rest.

Lottery picks don't always help ask EDM.

Why on earth would a major market that cares about hockey want to trade for Roberto? He couldn't handle Vancouver, so he can handle Toronto? LOL.

He should be going to Tampa, Columbus types.
- Oneonta Penguin

He can't handle Vancouver? Enlighten me...what the hell are you talking about? He was voted for the Vezina twice in Vancouver

Gardiner, Komi and the Leafs 1st rounder for Luongo?
- Symba007

Not a freakin chance.
Reimer, Kulemin and 4th.

Most id give up is komisarek and a 3rd rounder draft pick

Not a freakin chance.
Reimer, Kulemin and 4th.
- Fakepartofme

why would we give up kulemin? and just take on a much bigger contract? no thanks

- LeftCoaster

the money is not a problem in Toronto..its the cap hit...for 10 years

Burke is good with trades... I trust he sees the value (or lack thereof) in Lu and the contract, and only takes it on the cheap cheap.

- Oneonta Penguin

This is laughable. Have you not seen his stats over his tenure in Vancouver, a place once considered a goalie graveyard? The guy has been a rock. Not his fault the team entirely disappeared a few time in the playoffs and he took the heat.

What's your evaluation of Fleury after this year's playoffs?

Not a freakin chance.
Reimer, Mac Lombardi and 4th.
- Fakepartofme

Fixed...sorry

Luongo only makes sense for the right price.

Vokoun, Thomas, Harding, and maybe some others are available this off season. If Reimer or Scrivens are the "real deal" than we only need a goalie for 2 or 3 years to take the pressure off of them. Not someone locked up for the next 10 years.

So, the question becomes... do you think Reimer, Scrivens, or Owuya will be as good as Luongo will be in 3 years?
- ILoveLamp

Nope.
Scrivens maybe...but not Reimer...Owuya I haven't seen enough of.

Lottery picks don't always help ask EDM.
- VANTEL

the "lottery" picks (top 5) Van has have helped no?
Sedin
sedin
Luongo

I believe it took the sedins 5 or 6 years to realize the potential... maybe give Edm the same time..then comment

why would we give up kulemin? and just take on a much bigger contract? no thanks
- Mapleleafs_91

Why not.
I dont want to be paying this 3 million to score 10 -15 goals.....I dont want anymore of those.

Better it be the Leafs than the 'Hawks. All I can say is "good luck" to all the Maple Leaf fans hoping that it'll not get to a half-century.

Fixed...sorry
- JIMI-JAMES

yet alone i would not give up reimer or macarthur in that trade.

- VANTEL

Who cares about making the playoffs if we cant compete once we reach them?

You can keep Luongo.

Fixed...sorry
- JIMI-JAMES

Sure, I'll do that...will Vancouver...I dont know.

Eklund: Luongo "very much" on Leafs Radar.
- Eklund

Depends what the goal is from the Leafs POV.

If the goal is to solely make the playoffs, then this trade makes sense for the Leafs - Loungo is clearly superior to any other goalie in their system and any potential UFAs.

If the goal is to build a cup team, I think this would be a mistake. And not because of the stigma attached to Lou and playoffs, but more so, because it will take the Leafs another 2-3 seasons (at best) to be true cup contenders (if everything goes right)... by then you have an aging goalie with an albatross of a contract (from a cap hit perspective), which is likely impacting the Leafs ability to sign key players to contracts.

Canucks are not going after Parise or Suter.They will be playing together in Minny or Det.
- VANTEL

what makes you think parise wont stay a devil? let alone go to minny who didnt compete for the playoffs

Fixed...sorry
- JIMI-JAMES

Nope. They're taking komiserek if we gotta take a 34 year old goalie with ten years left. And no it won't be with gardiner and a first rounder lol. You can have carter Ashton and a second rounder. Actually lets go with not getting him at all. I still like that deal way better

yet alone i would not give up reimer or macarthur in that trade.
- Mapleleafs_91

Then you overvalue your players.
Who do you expect to get Lou for, if there really is a possibility?

Why not.

- Fakepartofme

because kulemin, reimer, macarthur ALL still have a VALUE that can be traded for other guys like chris stewart or stasny .. not some crappy as contract that extends to billion years later that vancouver wants to get rid of and then sign schneider to a extension where they also have a backup for him

Then you overvalue your players.
Who do you expect to get Lou for, if there really is a possibility?
- Fakepartofme

a bag of pucks would just do it, but need to send some cap back, so komisarek, a 3rd rounder, maybe a prospect like mueller.

Who cares about making the playoffs if we cant compete once we reach them?

You can keep Luongo.
- mfreedman

Cant compete?
Are you freakin drunk?
You have to MAKE the playoffs...Lou will do that.
Than you can compete in them...Lou will do that too!
