He wants to be the star of a team and he wants the promise of the starting position. Toronto provides him with both of those. If the fans were an issue, he would not want to go to Toronto, but he seems to have no problem listing them as a potential destination for him to finish his career. He will not succeed with the Toronto Maple Leafs, which begs us to question what his real motivation is -- certainly, it is no longer to win, or else he would remain with this team.

Roberto wants to leave because he wants to play. Sharing the duties with Schneider is not good enough for him, it seems. By requesting a trade, he is not allowing the team to decide for itself what its best option is. It apparently doesn't matter if his future team has success, as long as he is the face of that franchise. Luongo plays for himself. Being the starter for a mediocre team apparently will make him happy, as we all know the Leafs are destined to go nowhere.

We may very well lose him because we were too successful at developing our other goaltenders. When this team is at the height of its success, Roberto has decided he would rather play for Toronto. I suppose starting 60+ games each season with the Leafs means more to him than sharing the net with Schneider/competing with Schneider and challenging for the Stanley Cup.

The first rule of TOML is that you don't ask questions. You just makes stuff up. Like baseless rumours.

Again, if every player rumoured to TO actually ended up there, they'd own half the league.

The purpose of this talk is so they have talk. All they do in TO is talk. Talk about what TO should do. Talk about what TO didn't do. Talk about why it was bad that TO did or did not do it. And talk about why TO will continue to be bad because they will never do or stop doing it.

All the while it's the talk is the real enemy of TO. And that cycle of failure will never, ever end. Cheers.

TOML

Not only is his career dead in Vancouver, but his career in general will be dead if he goes to Toronto, but let's be honest here, why on earth would he want to go to Toronto? I just can't fathom it. He's sadly nearing the end of his career, he's won it all but the Stanley, so why would he request to go to a rebuilder.

Hopefully he goes to Tampa, Washington, or Chicago. Anything but god damn Toronto.

Roberto Luongo - age 34: Career over according to CDC.

Know why I'm going to stop checking these boards? People like you. You aren't insightful. You aren't thoughtful. Why are you creating gibberish like this?

Roberto's request to be traded contradicts this entirely. Especially now that the information has been leaked, his trade value has gone down. According to you, he also assumed Cory would be team's starting goaltender after the last three playoff games. He jumped to a conclusion before the team could assess their situation. Cory undoubtedly has much higher trade value than Roberto, yet Roberto must feel Schneider has taken his starting role. Realistically, Roberto could have continued to be the team's starting goaltender, as he had proven he was at the height of his game in the first two games of this year's playoffs and throughout stretches during the regular season. Despite this, Roberto has forced the team to move him. He has asked for a trade. He has limited Gillis' options. Even if today's news hadn't leaked, the fact that he was submitting a list of teams to be traded to so soon after the playoffs means he is implying he would like a trade.

It is obvious that the issue has everything to do with the starting position. You and I agree on that. If the team were to trade Schneider and keep Roberto after this ordeal, Roberto's actions these past few days, especially his trade request, would have to be questioned. He could have remained quiet and allowed Gillis to make the proper decisions and shop both goaltenders quietly to determine the team's best outcome. Instead, Roberto gives Gillis no time to consider his options and limits the return that he will receive when he does trade him.

The best thing Roberto could have done would have been to remain quiet and mention nothing to the media, opting instead to offer cliches and to say he would look forward to next season. By revealing all of the details we have seen within the past two days, chaos has erupted and Mike Gillis' job has become much more difficult.
