Westcoasting Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Too many people on here acting like Luongo's already gone... He hasn't been traded and he's not likely going to be. His contract is too big, and it would be too difficult to work out a trade that got us any value. Schneider will be traded at the draft, mark my words.

Sedintron Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have to admit, this whole NTC deal is pretty quick, considering things. I mean, I get that the post season didn't exactly go very well, but the whole Schneider instead of Luongo issue is just too confusing at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jovocop55 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 luongo won't get much in trade.. maybe a draft pick and a 3rd liners or 2 pair dmen at best.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't.Mess.With.Kes<3 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 we'd get better return for Schnieder IMO. Would rather trade him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The decision is really simple, keep the 33 yr old goalie whose probably have 3-4 good years left in him OR keep the other goaltender thats 6 years younger thats just entering his prime? Worst case scenerio is we trade CS: - Luongo relaxes now that he doesnt have CS breathing down his neck. - Gets back to his prima donna attitude now that we dont have any other option to play in net. - Decides he doesnt want to play here anymore and demands a trade leaving us with no replacement. It's easier to trade CS 4-5 years down the road than it is to trade Luongo when he's 37-38 with a 5m dollar CAP HIT. Seriously people, put aside your emotions and see the big picture. CS Is the better option for this teams future. We would end up like NJ with an aging ex superstar with a cap hit of 5m and we'd constantly be looking for a backup. A fresh start for the Canucks and Luongo is the best for both. Lets give CS a chance to prove he can handle the regular season load before we write him off (talking to Luongo fans). At one point of Luongo and every star goaltenders careers, they were all unproven... so lets stop the "CS is unproven" garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyzer Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Do we want to pretend to be NJ with an aging Brodeur or go with the young guy that runs a clinic every time he plays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Going by the post you chose to quote......you're going to base all this ^^^ on some tweet from a HABS reporter? Okaaaaay........

WestCoastCanucks Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 This just in... Nick Kypreos @RealKyper Close #SNPlayoffs #Canucks Luongo asks for trade. Van didn't even need to ask him to waive NTC. He tells them himself in exit meeting he wants out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Toronto, eh? I wonder what all the armchair "experts" that confidently stated that 'Luongo would win a cup before Vancouver will' are thinking now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cause=Time Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Ugh, I remember that play like it was yesterday. It was the turning point of that series, but I don't think of this organization. In fact, we've only gotten better from there haven't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Luongo isn't Being run out of town or pressured in any way. He's a real professional and also been a fan of the game his whole like. He knows hockey better than anyone here and lives this business every day.. He's not on the Internet everyday creating fantasy teams to take him to the finals. He's a professional goalie that understands the situation.. Vancouver drafted a goalie that developed into possibly one of the best goalies in the NHL. This kid is like 6 yrs younger than him and is better from a technical stand point. Lu knows he's a damn good goalie himself but knows the advantages to the team in the long run going with Cory.. It's not who's better because they're both good but just what makes sense. We can speculate on Cory's talent level or if he's the real deal or not but nobody in the world knows more about that than luongo. Maybe he sees the best goalie in the world in the making and is giving the team the right to choose him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Kudos to the Habs reporter for breaking the news. Perhaps provide your own opinion next time, rather than criticize others' needlessly. My opinion that Roberto is hastily trying to leave Vancouver still stands, and is supported by: the speed and haste of such an important, career-changing decision, Roberto's desire to be the team's undisputed starter rather than share starting duties, as well as past judgments about his ego. Now that Dan Murphy, the Canucks' beat reporter, has reported that Toronto is on the list, perhaps winning the Stanley Cup isn't as big a deal to Roberto as being the face of Canada's most popular franchise and reuniting with his former goalie coach, Francois Allaire. Roberto is chasing himself out of Vancouver. It isn't the fans. Roberto wants to secure a starting position, even if it means playing for Toronto. This is about him. To those who want to blame the fans for this, you shouldn't. Roberto is calling the shots, and he apparently wants out. You may cheer for Roberto's team to win before the Canucks as a way to spite this organization, but remember he is the one deciding to leave. Nobody is pushing him out except himself (and maybe Cory Schneider). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Walrus Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I still don't understand why Toronto will be on the list. I have heard the different reasons why he would choose to have Toronto on his list but I still don't understand it. Just doesn't makes sense to me.
