I Love the Canuck fans solutions for the last 4 years of Luongo's contract. You guys all sound like bad used car salesmen

"oh he'd make a great zamboni driver for the ACC.......... Have you ever seen Luongo work a concession? unbelievable............. Ushering elderly to their seats, nobody does it like Luuuuuuuuuuu"

Seriously, keep your pinto

I honestly dont want Luongo to go to Toronto. I'd actually have to cheer for them and they'd make the playoffs and I kind of like it when the Leafs don't make the playoffs. The best would be Luongo to Tampa for Malone and the 10th overall. Good for both teams.

Dude...you look pretty stupid right now.

Its right there on NHL.com

Under career save %. Find a guy currently playing with better than a .919 over 11 years.

Guys like Lundqvist have a 920 over 5-6-7 years.

NO ONE has a better save % over a longer period.

Thats OK, just a simple, "I'm sorry that I am a Leaf fan that knows no better" will suffice...

Well then, since Loungo is so great, the solution then becomes to move Schneider!
- Old Pappy



They keep arguing on how he is worthy of the HOF yet the last 3 years has been anything but HOF worthy. You can't trade a goalie and use a salepoint of 'well he should have won the Vezina and he should make it into the HOF'. His glory years are behind him and he has, behind Bryz, the most ridiculous contract in the NHL.

Do you really think TO has a probllem burying his last 4 years total 6 mil in the minors? Come on now,
- VANTEL


Ya, we can with ease. That's not the point.

The point is why the hell would we simply do that? Lou isn't the only goalie out there. We can get someone we don't have to pay to go away if he doesn't want to.

Ya, more then likely the guy gives it up before any of this is a possibility but if for some reason he decides he wants to keep playing that team is effed.

You might like to negate the ending of that contract but no amount of built up good will is going to move a team to give you anything for him.

When this deal happens it will be a shock. Not sure which way yet, but it'll be talked about a long while either way.

Unfortunately that pesky reality comes into play where everyone is saying Yzerman isn't interested.

But I'm with you, if you factor reality outta the equation, you could probably get stampkos too

Dale Hawerchuk, Mats Sundin, Mike Gartner and Adam Oates never won a cup. Luongo has been in the Vezina conversation for ten freaking years. Name a goalie other than Roy who's been more consistent. Tell me? He's a hall of famer and he's got another seven years left.

They need to get this idea of a top 10 pick out of there heads. It ain't happening, not even from friggan Howsen.

Nonis loves the guy but he loves his draft picks more. He's like a mini Dudley without such a kneen eye.

Malone yes but the 10th overall?

Homer status.


If you guys want Malone back, nevermind the 1st cause you would never get that, they would want someone off your back end. Ryan Parent perhaps, I'm not sure.

Our media have said there is no deal with TO. In fact they are telling us to expect CBJ.

A deal could be done between Tor/Van but it won't be a salary dump for TO only, as some fans suggest. Van does need a RHD or two but it would not be Kumi for Lu straight up. Gillis would be roasted if he did that.

- VANTEL


Never said it would be straight up.

mmmm-k. Columbus is a better fit, not sure why everyone keeps saying Toronto. Columbus and Toronto are both terrible teams, both lottery teams. Columbus has more cap space and they don't need to get rid of contracts to take him on. From Lu's stand point, what's the difference between going to TO or Columbus? They both suck.
- LeftCoaster

Any traDe with Columbus would set us back as it would prob include nash and not really what we need right now and as I am not sold on Luongo he is more in our line of needs.

Truthfully I would rather see Luongo go to a team that would be a contender.I would easily do Lu to NYI for Nabokov and a 2nd or even 3rd. They have 39 mil in space and solid goaltending would help them alot.

Sooooooo do me a favor........

Type in to your google "Luongo beach ball" and click search than images.......

Should a future hall of fame goalie really have that many pics mocking him?

Lu is far from a hall of famer.

There are players out there with better stats who aren't in.

If you read my posts I said LUs HHOF chances are only made possible if he can play with the Leafs I never said he was HHOF bound , but if he plays with the Leafs we know how quick that status will change.
