Luongo will be retiring just when Markstrom will be ready to take over. Give it 4-5 years and Florida will be in a great spot.

Luongo for Gudbranson, Matthias + 1st.

Markstrom's ready now. His poop numbers his first season in the AHL had moreso to do with him growing 3 inches and not adjusting. Last season both in the AHL and NHL he was stellar.

Oh, and there's no way Lack is in his class.

That's exactly the type of deal I think works for both GM's. As Vancouver I wouldn't accept anything less and as Toronto I wouldn't offer anything more.
- aj_furf


I wouldn't like it at all as a Leafs fan, but that's what the two teams would be talking about.

It's similar to Lecavalier for Komi+: we'd get that big center, but at a long term cost that I wouldn't want this team to have to endure.

Burke gets fired if the Leafs miss the playoffs. Luongo is his only ticket to the playoffs.

Gillis knows this and is going to fleece Burkie.

Komi is going to re-establish himself as one of the league's top defencemen, making the last two years of his contract a bargain.

Komi for the oft-injured Crosby, 3rd-line centre Staal and the 'guin's 1st rounders in 2012 and 2013.

I shipped your bath salts....they should be received in the next 2-25 days. Depending on the border security.

The Leafs have one option, Luongo. That puts Burkie in a very tough spot.

Gardiner, Schenn + 1st for Luongo.

I could potentially see Komisarek and Edler being a good d pairing. He played great with Markov, but didn't have that top d man in Toronto to partner with.

Either Schenn or Komisarek would be a good fit with Edler as a replacement for Salo.

The Florida Panthers?

You know they have to give tickets away, right?

Although they may not be in Florida in 3 years, so this may not be a problem.

Seriously - Florida can't afford dead weight.

- Atomic Wedgie


If Florida believes that they can continue to win the SE Division and compete in the playoffs over the next few years, and they believe that Luongo is a piece that helps them achieve it, then that's the best way to attract a fan base and get in the black.

I have no idea if Tallon thinks Luongo makes them a better team...but if he does and he puts a similar offer on the table that Burke does, my hunch says Florida would get the nod.

You think that Luka Magnotta is pissed?

He goes to all the trouble to be a crazy psycho, and the only thing people want to talk about is the guy who ate another guy's face.

I mean, what's a guy got to do to be known as a crazy psycho?

Stupid bath salts guy...

Lu would be perfect for Markstrom.

Schneids doesn't need a mentor, that's the whole point to getting rid of Lu in the first place. He's ready for the grand stage.

- A_Tree

???? How so?
So he could mentor Markstrom for 11 years?

Scrivens is not a bad goaltender to have... Reimer had concussion symptoms all year much like Miller had for most of the year..

Trust me.. I know the feeling.. Its just that they need more insurance than that..

Why does it have to be Luongo...?

Harding, Bernier, and Bobz are all "available"..

- JVince117


thats kind of how i see it.. for some reason some nucks fans seem to think he is the only viable goaltender available.. i stress some because most understand the position they are in

but for me to hear that they think they would receive two first round prospects for the past 5 years and a top 5 pick is just flat out laughable.. i almost feel bad for them

Best of luck with that.

You can get into a Panthers game for free if you have a Florida driver's license.

No, I'm not making that up.

Burke: "Yes, yes, of course! GREAT pairing, Gillis! You're a genius, you know that? Now just quickly sign here and... no no, don't think about it. That's the last thing you want to do... go with your gut... another scotch maybe?"
