D.Doughty Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 So say Schneider outperforms Luongo in the postseason. Now, everyone, including management wants to keep Schneider as our starter. Should we buy out Luongo's contract in the offseason? How much would we have to pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Ummmm...no. If Luongo is no longer the starter, I doubt he'll want to stay. And in that case, a team like Tampa would jump at the opportunity to land a proven starting goaltender. We may not get as big of a return as we would for Schneider, but we certainly wouldn't have to buy him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 First people want to trade him. Now you want to buy him out and get nothing in return for him? That is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Scenario is not out of the question but Luo has had a renaissance year. Even the great red head won't unseat Luo this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dura_mater Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 This is the first time I've heard someone propose Schneider stay and Luongo go come off season. I'm looking forward to hearing peoples opinions on this for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinx_RK17 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hey guys, new poster here in CDC just getting into the swing of things, so forgive me for any stupidity lol I personally think it's a serious question to ask, chances are Luongo's staying. He's proven himself year after year despite the upsets. We KNOW this man can handle a full season of hockey and still pull off getting the team a playoff position while he's in between the pipes. As where Schneider though showing promise, just isn't a certainty.. Don't get me wrong, i love Schneider and at times had my doubts with bobby Lou but I'm constantly reminded game after game why he's #1. Though with that being said, I'm comfortable with Schneider being #1 in the case that it happens mainly out of hope and faith in him to maintain his game throughout a whole season and maybe play off but nothing can be said for certain until it happens!

Linden_The_Reason Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 If he ends up not being the starter ( i doubt it will happen) but ask him to waive the no trade clause, we prob wont get the best return possible but it could be better then other options. though i still think Schneids will get traded at the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akillys Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I believe in Lu this year. I think he has matured a lot and is ready for the post season. I would argue that he is the most mentally prepared canuck. I mean, this guys mental toughness is second to none. I just have a good feeling about luongo.

dorrcoq Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yes, yes it is. A buyout would be incredibly damaging to our cap situation for decades. Even if Schneider were so amazing that we couldn't consider trading him, Lu is still an elite goaltender with one of the most reasonable cap hits in the league at just 5.3. The higher of his salary seasons will be behind him. He'd make a very attractive trade piece were it something he and the organization wanted. A buyout will not happen.

suolucidir Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 You may have missed it, but there is some suggestion that there might be a "free" buyout in the new CBA, which would allow teams to basically dump one salary with no ongoing cap issues. This was done once before, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
