not really...hes given his two choices, but its up to Gillis..he wont just move Luongo for less to Florida cause he likes it more than Toronto...he will take the best deal from whatever team offered the most. I doubt he even discusses the deals with Luongo, only asked him where he is willing to go.

That's not really holding the cards when you only get two choices.

There have been absolutely no reports that Luongo has given only two choices.

In fact, there have been no (legitimate) reports that Luongo has even submitted a list to Gillis of acceptable places.

Let me correct this...

He has given (a) list of teams. Out of the list of teams, every team but Toronto and Florida has fully addressed their goaltending situation and is more than believed to be the only two teams remaining with interest.

All other teams have signed and taken care of the tending situations.

We get any fresh rumours today? Or is today just a collection of pissing and moaning about Luongo and putting JvR at centre?

not at all...the game their are playing is similar to bumhole...in that you need to get rid of all your cards before the other guy. He has two cards left, and the last card played by the other team was a 6 of spades....his best strategy is to play his 7 first, let that one go, and keep the King as his highest card for the winning hand.

So, based on this game, he will choose the Leafs.

Seems odd 26 teams would be after a kid with no talent.

Brunnstrom, every Hobey Baker trophy winner, Gustavvsson.

Lots of stars outside of the NHL have had bidding wars before. Nothing can be said about Schultz until he plays

Link?

I'm not calling you an ugly liar with bad breath, but all I've ever read is that back in the end of April, the press all reported he was going to give Gillis a list of teams.

Haven't heard anything since.

I hope they dont offer up Grabo.
- Fakepartofme


Any deal involving Getz requires we send back a centreman as even if we were to offer up Colborne they'd have absolutely nobody, and I mean nobody, to play centre for their top line for the next 2-3 years.

Plus the fact that Grabs' new deal keeps him locked up for the next half decade simply increases his trade value

They're missing because someone through them one by one through Lu's legs and he couldn't stop any of them

Luongo has one true choice and it's Florida. Luongo keeping the door open on places like Chicago or Toronto is to help Gillis create a market for him so he can squeeze Florida for more than spare parts.

- nomdreas


They'd want a centreman who can provide a certain degree of offensive output on his own.

Bozak will only put up points with good linemates.

Grabs will get you 50 pts a season on his own.

there are many things that come with playing for the Leafs that will surely save him some money too, though. Do players not get a portion of jersey sales? (actually have no idea).
