Lu is old and on the downside and I know you're things don't look good, but stay the course...Burke's a hockey genius...

You'd get 6 years or so of Luongo at his best. He'd make the team better and having him couldn't hurt the chances of actually signing players. Get a better team..at least one that competes and I'm sure somebody would sign. They'd have to wouldn't they?

Right, and now we're back to trading good to get good...The only way the Leafs will improve through a trade is by fleecing some unsuspecting team...
- Flyfreaky


They will improve with Luongo and it fills a big need with an elite player. Even if he is hated.

I don't hate the dude, I just don't think he's that good anymore and if he can't handle the pressure of Vancouver, he sure as hell will wilt like steele's pecker at a female strip club...

Well, let me give you a couple of thoughts:

1. You should be the assistant GM (cause you fill out the ass part perfectly)
2. Lu isn't worth sh*t, so anything more than Komi and a 3rd should keep the Leafs out of the running...

Yea. The horror of acquiring an elite goalie that could stabilize the team and provide much needed confidence.

give them 10 1st then. Gards and Lupul sound like they are off the table, they should be included to get that kind of talent.

No worse than now

How (frank)ed are we if we still haven't found a goalie? (frank)ed deeper.

No because if we trade the 1st and not make the playoffs we are (frank)ed doubly. If we don't find a goalie we still have our 1st and we either get a good pick or what we have now make the nest step.

I'll take door #2.


When there are no teams interested in a player and they have to trade him a 1st is 100% off the table. Go get lou, but not for the 1st. end of story. Anything else is moronic.

Well, if the Leafs continue to employ the same system that they used last year, Lu might be a slight upgrade on Reimer, but if he's hung out to dry enough what will it matter who's in goal...The other thing I read, why would old Lu want to play for a porous team like the Leafs when he's long in the tooth and should be on a playoff contender?

Moronic is passing up an elite player because you might get an elite player with the pick. That's like Peter Griffin passing on the boat to take the mystery box. Because it might be a boat. Idiocy.

What if that pick is a bust? What if were still looking for a goalie in 3 years, its already been about 8. What ifs all day long.

I don't care why he would. I just want my GM doing his best to make it happen.
