Fakename70 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Good Grief, why is it that there's rarely anyone among those who want Luongo gone who understands the meaning of a player with a NTC? Particularly one as staunch as his: Courtesy of Wikipedia: on September 2 (2009), the Canucks announced that they had signed Luongo to a 12-year contract extension worth $64 million for a $5.33 million annual salary cap hit.[97] The front-loaded deal, which will expire by the time Luongo is 43 and includes a no-trade clause, sees him make $10 million in 2010–11, then approximately $6.7 million annually through to 2017–18, $3.3 million and $1.6 million the subsequent two seasons, before tailing off to $1 million for the final two years.[97]The contract contains two additional clauses to circumvent the no-trade clause that allow Luongo to facilitate a trade after the fifth year and for the Canucks to also facilitate a trade after the seventh year. Meaning: he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Time to revise your 2012-2013 roster, bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 SO let's take a drastic look at what could be done by a new GM if they came in and went in a new direction. Gone Luongo Ballard Booth Raymond Malhotra All gone for picks, yep, that's it. The cupboards need to be re-stocked. New Line-Up FORWARDS Daniel Sedin ($6.100m) / Henrik Sedin ($6.100m) / Zach Parise ($6.100m) Evander Kane ($4.000m) / Ryan Kesler ($5.000m) / Alexandre Burrows ($2.000m) Chris Higgins ($1.900m) / Maxim Lapierre ($1.000m) / Zack Kassian ($0.870m) Jannik Hansen ($1.350m) / Samuel Pahlsson ($1.750m) / Byron Bitz ($1.000m) Zenon Konopka ($0.750m) DEFENSEMEN Kevin Bieksa ($4.600m) / Dan Hamhuis ($4.500m) Ryan Suter ($4.500m) / Alexander Edler ($3.250m) Sami Salo ($2.000m) / Chris Tanev ($0.900m) Colin White ($1.250m) GOALTENDERS Cory Schneider ($3.100m) Eddie Lack ($1.000m) SALARY CAP: $64,300,000; CAP PAYROLL: $63,020,000; BONUSES: $0 CAP SPACE (22-man roster): $1,280,000 Thoughts?

Kass Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Why does everybody assume that because a player is from BC, they'll take a discount? Everyone knew that Hamhuis wanted to come home. You would think that rumours would have surfaced if Weber actually wanted to play here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
