Id love to get Luongo but not for Shaw. I think Leddy and some picks would be enough. Anyone who provides leadership is what Vancouver needs besides i (frank)ing Love Shaw, would hate to root against him now.

I would love to trade anything with you if that is your mindset....

haha Yeah I just caught up, and wasted time searching TSN. I cant wait till Friday, the opening of the convention should be priceless. I predict that the fake piped in Cheers will over shadow the Boos. The louder noise would be crickets however I know the place will be packed.

Since I'm bored,

Leddy, Crawford, and Olesz for Lu and maybe a minor leaguer might work. Maybe throw in some late rounders on either side. Salary works out fairly well, VAN gets a good backup plus an up and comer while finaly losing Lu. Olesz doesn't even have to pack since he'll be playing for the Wolves anyways.

I'm not sure it's an overpayment...might be...just don't know. What's the long term value of a Shaw? I like the kid too, but what's the upside? I just don't know...that's where scouts and the front office come in...

...tough choices. Like all else, if legitimate, time will tell.

Beav likely has a poem for the occasion...

The Phœnix and the Turtle



Let the bird of loudest lay,
On the sole Arabian tree,
Herald sad and trumpet be,
To whose sound chaste wings obey.

But thou shrieking harbinger,
Foul precurrer of the fiend,
Augur of the fever's end,
To this troop come thou not near.

From this session interdict
Every fowl of tyrant wing,
Save the eagle, feather'd king:
Keep the obsequy so strict.

Let the priest in surplice white
That defunctive music can,
Be the death-divining swan,
Lest the requiem lack his right.

And thou treble-dated crow,
That thy sable gender mak'st
With the breath thou giv'st and tak'st,
'Mongst our mourners shalt thou go.

Here the anthem doth commence:
Love and constancy is dead;
Phœnix and the turtle fled
In a mutual flame from hence.

So they lov'd, as love in twain
Had the essence but in one;
Two distincts, division none:
Number there in love was slain.

Hearts remote, yet not asunder;
Distance, and no space was seen
'Twixt the turtle and his queen:
But in them it were a wonder.

So between them love did shine,
That the turtle saw his right
Flaming in the phœnix' sight;
Either was the other's mine.

Property was thus appall'd,
That the self was not the same;
Single nature's double name
Neither two nor one was call'd.

Reason, in itself confounded,
Saw division grow together;
To themselves yet either neither,
Simple were so well compounded,

That it cried, 'How true a twain
Seemeth this concordant one!
Love hath reason, reason none,
If what parts can so remain.'

Whereupon it made this threne
To the phœnix and the dove,
Co-sapremes' and stars of love,
As chorus to their tragic scene.

THRENOS.

Beauty, truth, and rarity,
Grace in all simplicity,
Here enclos'd in cinders lie.

Death is now the phœnix' nest;
And the turtle's loyal breast
To eternity doth rest,

Leaving no posterity:
'Twas not their infirmity,
It was married chastity.

Truth may seem, but cannot be;
Beauty brag, but 'tis not she;
Truth and beauty buried be.

To this urn let those repair
That are either true or fair;
For these dead birds sigh a prayer.

William Shakespeare
