The Admirals Dustin Tokarski would have something to say about being the best AHL goalie
- TheFondler

Would he now ?

Would he now ?
- Rayven

I just don't understand how anybody could think Scrivens wasn't the best goalie in the AHL. Tokarski isn't the only one better. Its hard to compare # in the AHL when it comes to goalies.

I don't understand why leaf fans want Luongo.. Why not give JR a shot to be healthy for a year and see what he can do, then you don't have to give up anything.. Plus he was doing great until he got Gionta'd
- OrangeKrush

I don't want him. I don't think I would even want him if it were Luongo for Komisarek straight up. Too many years on the contract and way too much of a jam tart. Plus while he's certainly not a bad goaltender I don't think he's as good as he's made out to be. Let's face it, if he were that great Vancouver fans wouldn't be peddling him on here like a bunch of used car salesmen. They'd be whining about keeping him.

It makes Chicago and San Jose contenders. For Toronto it gets them into the first round and for the Panthers it gets them past the first round.

Since we were one goal short this year. I don't see Luongo as a need here. Next.

Look at stats, plus team results...not like the admirals goalie was a slouch at the lower levels...i mean any goalie who back stops a team (and a young goalie at that) to an incredible undefeated streak and then carries that into the playoffs and continues and then out performs the opposing goalie in the finals, and wins a championship, id say hes better, its not a knock on scrivens, i like scrivens

edit, on top the Marlies boast a power house team of young talent and NHL players like frattin and gardiner that were on the team, i think were they not? i could be wrong but i thought they were in the AHL playoffs

I think Lu is a massive upgrade on what they have. Also I hit the caution button on my tablet by mistake. So when the ref comes on here whining about stuff not being report worthy, it was me.

but im not too familiar with the panthers

Markstrom, but management feels he isn't ready

No no, I'm sure I am happy that I moved out here I make more, and pay less, and I live in a gorgeous little city called Peace River.

Unless you mean I'm wrong about the amount of thefts, but that wasn't my point, it was someone else's. I love Toronto and I always try and inform the yocals about what an awesome city it is.

That's my home town. My family moved there in 1915.

Clearly the fact that they r willing to even kick the tires suggests they have their doubts

who says they have? and for the Hawks, dont they tight rope the cap and have issues? it would have to be an overpayment....i think now that im typing, a hossa for Lou works ...hockey and contract wise.

im new hear so i dont know all how things work, i got an idea tho

luongo is the "perfect" mentor for markstrom and florida could use a little "star power."

in a few years, florida will have the same issue the canucks have now. a good young goalie ready to take over, and luongo.

by then, his contract will be more digestable.
and luongo will become a mercenary to whoever thinks they're a goalie away from winning the stanley cup.


not that i think luongo would want to go there but washington seems like a team that is luongo-worthy.

Tall on has confirmed discussions redarding Luongo. I agree Lu for Hossa makes sense, providing Hossa is 100% healthy. However I think the odds of van and chi dealing given their recent history seems slim. Neither team wants to be the loser of that trade
