Still on the Lu bandwagon I see.


MacKinnon is all I have to say to that.

if theres a way to guarantee we place lower than 12th without Luongo, im all for it.

BUT IM WILLING TO BET we end up around 10th without Luongo.

Wasted year.

Really? That's high expectations.


Below 4th without Lu - with a vet goalie like Biron, Clemms or whoever.

Above 10th with Lu.

Hopefully Burke doesn't trade at all then so we can be in contention for the worst overall team.

its crazy how hes turned into a Gustavsson overnight because of his contract!?....yikes!!....Toronto hasnt had a LEGIT goalie in over ten years, and now that one can be acquired for less than his value....we say no...we would rather keep losing and placing 10th. Its better on our players that way.

When we had those veteran goaltenders, 10 years ago, was because we were contenders and had a veteran lineup. This team is far from that right now. The only way out of this hole, is to get the elite players from the draft, essentually from the top 5. Getting us to 10 makes us the Calgary Flames.

Yeah, retirement contracts.....like Brian Leetch, Phil Housley, Ron Francis and the list goes on. Come to Toronto, spend your golden years in the country club that is known as the ACC. No wonder that players like Sundin, Tucker, McCabe and Kaberle didn't want to leave.

Sure....w/e....Luongo sucks, hes done his career, cant offer our team anything, might as well be shot.

End of story

Im out...beers awaiting.

What kind of hockey fan wants to see their supposed favorite team lose. You don't deserve to watch the sport.

The Oilers will be right at the bottom again next year. Why stop at 3 straight top picks?

How bad does your goaltending situation have to be for you to think “You know, I should call up the Flyers for help”

Luongo: 12 year career

playoffs 5 times

nuff said.

- Dozzer


He's been to the playoffs for 5 of the last 6 years. The Canucks weren't exactly a powerhouse in 2007 but he dragged them into the playoffs and the 2nd round. Surely he can't be held responsible for the Panthers under Dudley and Keenan. He did his part. If you think the Leafs are as bad as those Panthers, then there really isn't a lot of hope for the playoffs in Toronto next season.

If we were the 2004 Leafs, then it makes sense. This is a bad fit because the best case scenereo is making it to 8th, then sweeped. This team is not ready to compete, with too many holes. Luongo just slows down the rebuild. In two years, Luongo is 35. Maybe then, we're in a position to actually get into the playoffs and possibly win a round. If we sign Luongo, have a middle of the road draft, next year, we've wasted the ability to get progressively better.

If it means we get to see our youngsters play some hockey and develop, plus get a chance at a franchise 1C in MacKinnon I'm 'totes down for another dreadful season.

I think they are trying to ice a team of all number 1 overall picks.......... I've studied their ways for the last 3 years and it's the only thing that makes sense........

To achieve the big goal - the Cup, one must take the steps needed to achieve any success - failing. Last is first kind of mentality.

Honestly drafting first overall is like "you have a (frank)ing poop team, sorry that your fans have had to endure so many losses. We offer this first overall prospect as a consolation, hope he works out for you".

Piss off.

If that's the goal, you should be trading Kessel.

I guarantee Burke doesn't agree with your assessment.
