Sources close to Toronto told me #Leafs upgraded their offer on the table for Luongo to 2013 1st+ Komisarek+Kulemin. #Canucks

I'm not sure of the salaries, but this seems to be the basis of a fair trade. maybe some tweaking here and there

hahahahahahahahhhahha a first rounder in 2013 are you fried? Kulemin in that deal is already too much wow a goaltender who narrowed his choices basically with 3 teams left in the mix is worth that much with his contract extended to the moon, what a joke vancouver is

? srsly

.... I did say if

Are you sure he hasn't countered with Komi, Grabo and Franson?

Who would want that garbage for Lou, let alone Kesler.

and this is why your a nucks fan

Agreed. It seems like Stockholm Syndrome has taken over Leafs fans on HB. The very idea of having Luongo (not going to through his credentials again) disgusts them.

No one (with half a brain) is suggesting you give up Gardiner, Bozak and 2 1st for Lu, but you gotta give something to get a world class goalie. i saw someone suggested a 2nd for Lu staright up, SMH

Gardiner a 1st and a 2nd

The definition of irony, coming from a Leafs fan. Give your head a shake...

Why would you guys even trade kesler? He is probably the most important player on your team that i would take on the leafs or any other team.

This is a Leaf thread, what other teams want have no bearing on it.

You act as if you own the Team, Every team in Toronto is owned by Telephone companies they care nothing for Toronto and all for profits where as vancouver canucks are owned by the Aquillini's born and raised in Vancouver.

Well, since Burke is making the decision anyway since Rogers/Bell hasn't taken over yet, the point is kind of moot. Pretty sure Rogers/Bell would like to get some of those profits in the form of absolutely wacko ratings for content on all their channels and devices when the Leafs improve over the longterm without Luongo.

Lets hear your suggestion.

Let me guess.....Lu for Tim Connolly and 4 BB speaking engagements

The leafs have cap space to take Luo for a pick, so no worries

Another 7 years?

Safe to say Gardiner is not coming back in a deal solely involving Lu, and in my opinion thats fair play. He's a young D, that is good, with the potential of being very good, and he's cheap. You dont trade guys like that, not unless you are getting a low paid world beater coming back

That's funny since I have been bringing up Backstroms name for awhile. He only has one year left on his deal, and still has some left in the tank. Only thing that would worry me is he's coming from a much more defensive minded team than the Leafs have been in recent years. I'd probably rather take the gamble on him than Luongo, even though Luongo is better at this point.

Anything with macarthur, connolly, komi, lombardi, 2nd Rounder 2013, bozak, franson, holzer, damigo, mueller, and i will put kulimen(A BIG MAYBE) in the mix so take your pickings with one salary dump

True, it could be a raycroft situation all over again.

two 1st's and a 2nd for Aki Berg and Darren Puppa

Yes, another 7 years.

Backstrom would be a better option for the Leafs. See if Reimer can bounce back while taking on 30ish games. He may get more if Backstrom gets hurt again. If Reimer doesn't regain his form then look for other options while continuing to develop other goalie options from within like Rynnas. I don't buy the Burke is fired if he misses the playoffs this year line.

With the Parise and Suter contracts Minny has shot to near the top of league spending overnight. They could definitely use a bit of cap relief and Hackett could take over the back up role.

Backstrom is better than anyone the Leafs have now but what does Toronto have to give up to acquire a 34 year old, 6 million dollar goalie with only 1 year left on his contract? Maybe some secondary scoring like Macarthur plus a B prospect and a middle/low pick? I really don't know. Anyone think of any recent comparable deals?
