Not to worry ,Lu won't be going to TOR.TOR doesn't have a top 6 forward to send the other way.

People are so stupid on here. How is Luongo's contract bad. He's got 6 years left at 5.3...... 5.3 isn't a lot for an elite goalie. I'm expecting a trade with Florida to be Bjugstad and Toronto Gardiner. Gillis is asking for more than that so that's a happy medium.

We ain't getting Gardiner. Almost as stupid as a leaf fan saying komi

hey lets all give the habs a big round of applause for making the conference final.

you do realize that the only people that remember when a team make it to the conference final, is fans of the team that made it?

habs are screwed as long as they keep making decisions based on people who can speak french.

Relax. Not every franchise can be as well run as the Leafs.

Pukestad isn't the Panthers best prospect. Not by a long shot.
Bure lives in Florida. Would love to see a Luongo for Pavel trade.

Weve had this argument so many times. Leafs were in playoffs spot at ASG essentially with Gustavsson playin most games and scrivens. Even if you consider Lou to have dropped (statistically 1 in league last year and 14 this year) lets say hes a top 15 goalie, Leafs goalies didnt rank in top 30. IMO safe bet with that difference in goaltending, even if his numbers dropped to 2.50 gaa, leafscomfortably make playoffs.

I think it would help take pressure off the D too. Having a goalie being able to bail you out of a few mistakes goes a long way with the media in toronto.

zero leverage for gillis. eveyrone knows he isnt gonna start the season with over 11 million in goalie salary. luongo is gone, along with any leverage gillis had. but he'll still get at least CLOWE AND HAVLAT

Trade for Komi

Keep him to back up Schneider for 30 games until the right deal comes along

Yeah having the best goalie tandem would sure suck.

But his actual contract is 10yrs. Sure he most likely wont play that long.
