Luongo To Submit Shortlist (Chicago, Florida, Toronto, Tampa Bay)


Recommended Posts

It seems to be getting more likely that Luongo is the one initiating his move out of Vancouver, though I don't think necessarily for selfish reasons. Luongo wants out, the Canucks feel that Schneider is the one they'll move forward with.

I REALLY hope trading Lu is the right decision here. I'm not 100% comfortable with an unproven goaltender as our #1. Not taking anything away from the great play of Schneider, but what makes him different from any other goaltender in that it will be just a matter of time before the fans in this city start calling for his head too? Trading Lu is a high risk move.

Maybe Burke will overpay. Luo and Raymond for Kadri, Schenn and the 5th overall? Pretty much the only 3 players on Toronto that I would be interested in.

I think LU is the instigator for this trade moreso thatn Gillis. I think GIllis was hoping to have some time to assess the situation and explore keeping both goalies but Lu jumped the gun with his comments about his NTC.

I don't blame him. Having to sit the last 3 games of the playoffs with all the media hype must have been very painful for him and a blow to his ego. He is not interested in being a "co-goalie" with Cory getting equal billing. He is a starter and wants to finish his career that way.

WHen AV decided to run with Cory, he had to know that would likely be the end for him and Lu. I wonder if MG and the Aquilinis were made aware of the decision and understood the ramifications?
