Really? When did this happen?

Well I had heard whispers about it... but I spoke with Tony Gallagher at a charity golf tournament and he said that this was the case.

I think Lu is aware of the situation. He underestands there are limited choices.

Agreed. It would be different if half the league was in on Lu (like Nash) but with only so many options I think Gillis will have the room to make the best deal he can and Lu would more than likely accept that. Still, if you had to put odds on it, I think Luongo staying in Vancouver would give the highest odds IMO.

I still think there is a good chance that Schnieder gets traded.

That might explain the bizzare Stombone twitter account.

Perhaps... who knows though... I had also heard he moved out of his penthouse apartment in yaletown and will be living in a hotel while he is here... I don't know how accurate that is. But take it for what it is!

I doubt he would do that until a deal is finalized and he is, in fact, leaving town. Not that he couldn't afford to live in the Fairmont Pacific Rim but why vacate your own place while everything is still up in the air?

Maybe a deal is already locked in and they will announce it at the draft.

I dont get it either.... but apparently he was sharing 2 levels with ryan kesler... and is now gone... he wants to be in florida as much as possible right now regardless of where he plays.

I guess if Scheider gets moved he will find a smaller place to have as his home during the season? I really don't know

Luongo was proably just looking for a bigger space. I'm sure Kesler's ego took up most of the square footage.

I actually believe a lock out until January would be beneficial for this team... they have big problems staying healthy enough for the playoffs.. maybe half a season will finally allow this team to be relatively healthy come playoffs!!

You still have to win 4 rounds of playoff hockey.

Erik Karlsson has won the Norris Trophy, a day after signing a 7-year, $45.5m deal. Nice couple of days...

Their season was only fifty games for most of the wins prior to 67

And 2 playoff rounds.

Why would you bring up '67?

Either that or all his framed nude portraits. I think the overwhelming amount of skin on display affected Lu's game over time.

True, but all the points in the world couldn't hide his defensive deficiencies.

Erik Karlsson is not the guy I would want out there in the final minute defending a lead my team had because of Erik Karlsson.
