Not at, they have Schneider for 1 more year...Lou could be trade by then...or work a sign and trade deal....which doesn't limit the return...just the location.
Either way, the return will be greater than Lou's.
Gillis is in no rush, no need to be.
Again, just more T.O media hype crap.
- Fakepartofme

no, they dont.. his contract expired at the end of this season.

THe Leafs haven't had a good goalie since Belfour.....Lou would be a huge improvement over what they have now...HUGE.
- Fakepartofme

Van won't get a huge return on Lu, but he won't be had for a salary dump. Anyone who thinks so is in for a let down.

Good afternoon all. Sup today?

- TheTaoOfSemenko

the "rumour" is that schneider "wont" resign unless Lou is moved

"if" thats the "truth" then gillis will have to sell real low or risk losing schneider




..........please note my use of quotation marks

Would limiting the location not in turn limit the return they could get?
- Domaju

Maybe....but if a team really wants him...it wont.

He is a salary dump, salary will be going both ways. You can call Komisarek anything you like.

People should stop taking dshiddy remotely serious. He's just looking for reactions.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

Ahh. Dshiddy. Never mind.

Belfour didn't come with a franchise crippling contract, did he?

That sucks. I've had 3 or 4 glasses of water in the last hour myself actually. But i'm also eating yogurt covered raisins...which don't sound good, but are freaking delicious.

Maybe....but if a team really wants him...it wont.
- Fakepartofme

It won't limit it AS much, but it would still reduce the return a fair bit imo

Burke will not trade for Lu if komi is not part of the package, and he shouldnt

Belfour didn't come with a franchise crippling contract, did he?
- prock

No, just an alcoholic problem causing him to flop around lmao

- Leafland

You got that right if he's landing in TO salary needs to go the other way, we don't have the cap room otherwise! But i still cannot see a trade working out at all so....... whatever

no, they dont.. his contract expired at the end of this season.

My mistake, however that really doesn't change much. It's all about how you sell it to Schneider....if the plan is to hang onto Lou until a better deal comes, but tell Schneider is the future....than it wont be a problem.
IT really depends on what Gillis plan is.
The point is, TO is not the only option and Gillis wont take our crap to unload Lou.

the "rumour" is that schneider "wont" resign unless Lou is moved

"if" thats the "truth" then gillis will have to sell real low or risk losing schneider




..........please note my use of quotation marks
- Dozzer

so if those "rumours" are "true".. then dont trade for Lu and really screw up Vancouver

Can we all agree to stop responding to the 'nucks fans on this?

They think Luongo is all that and a bag of chips. We disagree.

No point in going round and round and round.

Let's just thank them for their input, and say we shall wait and see.

Don't feed the trolls.
- Atomic Wedgie

They don't even believe that.

No matter what we give as our opinion, I think this will be one of the most intriguing off seasons in quite a bit, not only maybe for the Leafs but for a quite a few big name players.

Van won't get a huge return on Lu, but he won't be had for a salary dump. Anyone who thinks so is in for a let down.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

yup, which is why I think he remains a Canuck.

Belfour didn't come with a franchise crippling contract, did he?
- prock

Neither does Lou.
At just over 5 mill for a bonifide starter for 6 more years...not bad at all.
Anyone who thinks he'll go the distance on his 10 years is foolish

Burke will not trade for Lu if komi is not part of the package, and he shouldnt
- peddy-93

well said..

the market is severely limited for Lu, who else is there out there who can

A: afford the contract

B: need a 1A goalie

another thing to consider is that burke and gillis would make this trade at a professional level TOPS.. because they dont like each other very much

i cant see burke doing gillis any favours is all.. and if there does happen to be another team willing to overpay.. i also see burke not getting in the way

Neither does Lou.

Anyone expecting him to be a top goalie, making him worth that contract, until he's 40 is just as foolish.

oh i agree.. not to mention schneider is still RFA.. so gillis can say sign and play or sit...

however, here is the risk gillis will take if luongo isnt moved

a: will schneider resign? yes, probably

b: long term? no, not a chance in hell

c: single year contract to buy gillis time to move Lu? yessir, maybe even on the cheap

d: whats the risk to vancouver? if gillis doesnt get lu moved, schneider will become UFA at seasons end

thats kind of how i see this playing out if gillis doesnt get his asking price in the offseason

so if those "rumours" are "true".. then dont trade for Lu and really screw up Vancouver
- peddy-93

right now gillis is in a bad spot.. if he can get schneider on a contract the whole scope of the game changes

As far as MLSEL is concerned, there are six more years on the contract.

The final four years are for a total of $7 million in actual money - which is exactly what the Leafs spent over two years so they didn't have to look at Finger.

And if a miracle happens and Luongo is still good after six years, well, even better.

If we can get Luongo and shed some crap in the process, I'm all for it.

Throw in D'Amigo or Franson so Gillis can sell it to his fans.
