how old is marty... luongo is not horrible, he is still a top 10 goalie.... just has a CRAPPY contract... he is a one way ticket to the playoffs... and we need that right now....
- Not_Sure42

fixed.
Def not top 5

you are a closed minded individual who should try and gain some perspective.... i never said he (luongo) was the answer... i said postive things and negative things about him... the leafs could do a lot worse than him... and yes they could do some positive things... but why rag on a gold medal winning, top tier goal-tender....
- Not_Sure42

Because he's 33 and has a 10 year contract. Because if Florida never gave Lu a chance to play he wouldn't be where he is today just like how L.A gave Quick every chance to earn his stars and had confidence in him. If you're so positive then start believing in the goalies we have. For (frank) sakes Scrivens took the Marlies ALL THE WAY to the Calder Cup Finals. Reimer started the year 4-0 before Gionta decided to hip check his head and concuss him. Why can't we give our goalies a chance like every other team who's had success? Jesus Christ man, if I am closed minded you have no mind.

nucks arent getting rid of a bad contract without taking one back.

Luonngo on SJ would give them their teeth back

Agreed. You're wasting your time though, people like him will never look at things reasonably. Better to just ignore them.

I'm sorry, what? How is anything I'm saying not reasonable?

Ya bad story truly out of 500 dogs 221 made it out rest got burned in the cages really sad story

Anyone who claims adding Luongo makes their team worse (at least short term) between TOR, FLA, CHI or SJ is a fool
It instantly makes them a contender, no matter what is given up, he has at least 4 seasons of top-10 goaltending left...if not more.

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.

Better yes but contender?? I maybe Chicago and sj but not tor or fla

im glad you agree that it's funny that no nucks fans think a high salary player is coming back. they think there is a huge demand for luongo
- sensnucksnocups

I never said that. You suggested a salary dump and pick. I said if they take a salary dump they will also get value with it

Toronto is 2 seasons from being a perennial contender.
Florida is 1 season away from completing their rebuild, and Luongo may cause them to go on a fluke run this yr until it happens.

I don't think he makes Toronto a condender. Kipper has a better winning percentage, better GAA and only slightly worse save percentage than Lu and he doesn't make you guys a contender.

I wish he would place them right, and word press sports is a better platform.

That's because Toronto is younger and more talented than Calgary.
We at least have a chance to contend for the playoffs. Without Kip we would be worse than Edmonton. And this yr, with him, we may well be worse still.

There is a difference though make the playoffs and contend for he cup, it's a word twist is all

I guarantee you that this will be yet another blog where Canuck fans and other fans(mostly TOR fans) will argue about his value.

Think about it, if we get luongo he can mentor reimer/scrivens(whichever is better) along the way throughout the season/seasons to come. Once reimer/scrivens is decent one of them can take over while luongo is a backup if he still sticks around. One of those goalies in reimer/scrivens whichever doesnt work out or if they both do, can be used as trade bait in a trade.

I have a suggestion for the Leafs to get Luongo & Burke not to look like a hypocrite:

Obviously Burke's time as a GM has passed him by since he operates on different methods than 29 other GM's. Burke's methods for being a GM were better suited in the NHL of the past that once had no salary cap & lots of mega trades. Burke only won a cup in Anahiem partly cause the team was already built from within by Brian Murray. Yes Burke did add important peices but he never actually built the team. So my suggestion is for BURKE to resign as Leafs GM & remain as Leafs president, hand over the reigns of GM to Nonis. Than if the price is right, Nonis can get Lu.
