Pears Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Anyone know what Malone's career playoff numbers? I'd be interested in him and Purcell along with a pick/prospect for Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Purcell is a risk because his points might be generated by how much attention Stamkos and St.Louis get. Hedmen on the other hand would be rediculous. The most feared D-pairing/ Goalie combo right now is arguably Weber/Suter/Rinne. Now Imagine Edler/Hedmen/Schneider, backed up by Hamhuis and Bieksa. The twin towers on defence with one of the best goalies in the league backing them up. Edler: 6'3" Hedmen: 6'6" 215ibs 230ibs And obviously I don't need to read out Schneider's stats.

Zoolander Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 That's a pretty big stretch to put Edler, Hedman and Schneider into a Suter, Weber and Rinne category Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renelsisc Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 i think it'd be closer to: VAN: Garrison Fleishmann 1st FLA: Luongo Raymond 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubrick Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 We need to keep in mind that LA has Bernier in the wings, and STL also has Elliot and Halak to deal with...Assuming that we only have a couple teams to deal with, maybe less than that. We shouldn't really entice Yzerman to look elsewhere.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 DON'T TRADE WITH TORONTO!!! I wouldn't want Kessel or Lupul and none of their other players shines, well Jake Gardiner but I can't see him becoming Norris' worthy anytime soon. Our best bet is either Florida and Tampa with players like Garrison, Purcell, Hedman, Fleischman (sp) and Conelly all in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 From Tampa: Hedman, Connolly, Tampa's 1st. From Vancouver: Luongo, our 1st, Schroeder, Corrado, Polasek, and Ballard if he fits under the cap and is needed to make the deal. (So Ballard is an option) Tampa saves about $2.0 million off the cap, adds some defensive prospects, keeps a 1st rounder. and gets a top notch goalie, (Without Ballard) but nudges closer to the cap if they pick up Ballard. Win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1nf1n1ty Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 That's actually no where near the best deal we can get for Lu. Here is something that can be plausible for both teams: Vancouver receives: Taylor Hall + Sam Gagner + Magnus Paajarvi Edmonton receives: Roberto Luongo + Keith Ballard + Mason Raymond + Manny Malhotra + 2012 2nd round pick Daniel - Henrik - Booth Kesler - Gagner - Hall Burrows - Schroeder - Jensen Higgins - Lapierre - Hansen Kassian to AHL for more development or Vancouver receives: Jordan Staal + Zybnek Michalek + 2012 1st round pick Pittsburgh receives: Roberto Luongo + Manny Malhotra + 2012 1st rounder Daniel - Henrik - Burrows Booth - Staal - Kesler Higgins - Schroeder - Jensen Kassian - Lapierre - Hansen Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Tanev Ballard - Michalek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Jordan Staal 1st for Luongo 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Clutch Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Luongo in a package for Joe Thorton. Both players and teams need the shake up. Thorton is possibly the second best playmaker behind Hank, and would do wonders for kesler (assuming Kesler would be willing to play the wing with Joe). Luongo would bring much needed goaltending to San Jose. They are the same age. Thorton has a bigger cap hit, but is only signed for two more seasons. He also brings some more size and leadership.

mcgillnuck Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think he's headed to NJ or TB. Maybe.... Rights to Parise + Clarkson for Luongo + Raymond or something involving Connolly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dko Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 There are only a few teams in need of a #1 goalie he might be willing to move to. One of those teams that often gets ignored is Washington. You might package him together with Raymond for Chimera and Backstrom or Laich. That would be abou the best you could hope for I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd71 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 If Luongo is traded the package coming back won't be good. It will be similarly bad contracts or assets will have to go with him. If Gillis does decide to deal Luongo he has little to no control over the situation. Luongo will have to agree to a deal and then he will have to agree to a location and then convince that team to take on his 10 year 5 million dollar cap hit. And then you expect useful pieces back? The market for Luongo is going to be very thin. Moving him won't be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't view Luongo's contract as a bad one. Yes, it is long - but that is both an advantage and a detriment. With the cap always rising, the value of players will rise with it. In 2-3 years if he continues his strong play, his contract will look like a fantastic deal. As it stands right now, he's something like the 7th highest paid goalie... which is about right on par with his stats. If he nosedives the contract is certainly a detriment. But at least the main years (10m) have been paid by Vancouver already. I think we should be able to get a decent return for Luongo... assuming the GMs don't take advantage of our desperation to get rid of a goalie. And that might very well happen, since I am guessing Luongo will not be willing to waive his NTC to many teams. Tampa seems by far the most likely candidate. Players I'd like to see from Tampa: Hedman Purcell Malone As much as I think Connolly will be a great player in this league, and he is from BC, I am not sure we need another undersized winger in our group. Additionally, I think Tampa is expecting him to be one of their top line players in the next couple of years and will want a mint coming back to let him go. Of all these players, I'd love to target Hedman. His development has been slow, but he could very well be our Chara if we got him. Purcell has turned out to be an amazing late bloomer. Malone has the physical frame we could use on our top lines and I think could really be an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberries Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 So 3 top-6 stars for an inconsistent ageing goalie, 2 struggling players coming off career threatening injuries, and an under performing d-man? Get f*cking real bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
