tricarboxylic Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 If what you're saying is true, that's a disappointment from the SN reporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckCup1316 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Toronto? You think the media and fans are bad here? Good luck in T.O. He would be way better off in Tampa or Florida or Dallas. I think a move would help him. He obviously didnt like it here that much if all it took was this to make him ask for trade. Just think if he goes to Maple Leafs he wont have to worry about ever having a bad playoff or any playoff at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsy Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 If true, which moron let this out? Totally lowers the possible return that we could get for Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Kind of expected, by going with Schneider they basically said : He's our guy now. Otherwise after the loss of game 3 they would have come back with Lou If Lou was our real #1, they would have gone with him all the way : live or die with Lou, but that didnt happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaramel MacKhiato Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Schenn Gustavsson for Luongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanstorm Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'd like to personally 'thank' the as$h0l3s that ruined Luongo's career in Vancouver by treating an elite goalie like trash. Now there goes our face of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deets Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Im sorry, but this is a sour move by Luongo. People crap on Hodgson for requesting a trade, but at least he did it behind closed doors. I was impressed by the Luongo interview with him telling the media that he would do what ever is best for the team, but now his true colors are showing. I don't blame Lu for wanting to leave, but "whats best for the team" would have be to keep your mouth shut. Mike Gillis' bargaining power just took a huge hit. Now everyone knows there MUST be a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I posted before the play off's; Start Schneider for game 1 just to send him a message. Then go back immediately to Lou for game 2, even if Schneider got a shut out. It tells Lou, we're giving you a chance, but no let downs as we have had in some play off years! Then run with Lou as long as he holds the fort. My post got locked; I was called an idiot. Does not look so dumb now? I also posted earlier in the year; Lou looks to have matured past his past meltdowns. But this reaction from Lou, just like him whining that nobody was pumping his tires (then letting in 6 or 8 goals) suggests exactly why he has meltdowns. Lou gets too emotional. Whether it helps his trade value or not, it makes any decision easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themonicator Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have a feeling that Lu's agent probably leaked this. Can't really get a good return now that Gillis is forced to deal Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M A K A V E L I 96 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hmmm, hopefully if this is true it doesn't affect the return we'd get on moving him. GM's will definately use the fact that "he wants out" as an excuse to lower the value on a premier starting goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_P Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Everyone already knew one of the goalies had to go, it's just a question of which one. The writing was on the wall as soon as Schneider took over in the playoffs, it seemed like the management was just waiting for the first oppertunity to get Schneider in there. As soon as Schneider was named for game 4, I pretty much knew this was going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It may be true,but Nick Kypreous is not the most reliable source in my mind.I've heard many an outrageous rumour from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CytotoxicCD8TLymphocyte Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I don't understand why Lou wants out... He makes $6.7M a year to have season tix (home and away) and the best seat in the house to watch the best team in the league every game!!!!

singhr Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The sad reality is that if Louie leaves, we'll probably drive Schneids out of town eventually as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deets Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 What makes you think that it was Luongo who leaked this? I see nothing to suggest that this is the case, so really all you know that he did for sure is ask to be moved. Louie is a proud guy and wants to be a starter. The writing is on the wall in Vancouver, so he wants to go somewhere where he won't be looking over his shoulder every time he has an off night. Not so surprising and hardly something to be blaming him for without anything to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dura_mater Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 the way i see it. Yes we lose a great goalie, but Gillis is gonna get us a great return. We're gonna keep our strength in net with Schneider, but our offense/defense or both is gonna improve drastically. This could be the move that will put us over the top. My ideal trade: Luongo Raymond for Hedman Purcell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
