RUPERTKBD Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 you're comparing Komisarek to Richards or Carter? lol wow..... he has yet to hit 20 points in a season, what is this "old form" you're referring to? he has never been good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tearloch7 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Why would we trade for players we didn't want years ago? Komisarek? What a joke of a site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 From the guys listed, I was unaware that the Canucks desired to become an old folk's home. So many players who are past their prime are suggested as being a good return for Luongo. For the most part I say, "No thanks". The consensus team requirements seem to be: a top-6 right winger, a top pairing d-man, restocking the cupboard, and seeing what's out there to supplement the bottom-6. If these spots can be filled from within the organization, great. Ideally. the team gets younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Luongo for Gardiner and Steckel Flip Malholtra for pick/prospect and save some cap room. Steckel can do Malholtra's job and comes at a cap hit of 1.1 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lateralus Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 He does, just not as part of a deal for a star. He would do pretty good on a trap team though his return would be a late pick or a fourth liner/plug D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 He's not going to close any potential trade. late pick is about all. I'd love to hear the sales pitch by MG on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCanuckleheads.ca Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Bleacher Report is what it is. A bunch of people who like hockey and like to speculate. My speculation is that any name you read regarding what we get for Luongo will be wrong. Despite all the trade rumours that go on all the time, has anyone predicted Ballard, Higgins, Lapierre, Booth, Pahlsson, or Kassian/Gragnani? Gillis and his circle are so tight that no one seems to have the inside scoop on what he's thinking. That said, it's still fun to guess and what do I know? Maybe there's someone on this forum or some prognosticator who's more tapped in to Gillis' mind than I think. Anyway, I'm not sure why the writer thinks the Canucks need a right winger so badly. Sure, I think Ryan Malone is a possibility, and despite his contract, he might be a great addition while Kassian pounds away on the 4th line. But if we bring in a winger, I bet he's a playmaker and not a bruising goal scorer. I'm also of the opinion that trying Kesler on the right wing with the Sedins or on the second line would be a worthwhile experiment. The guy just isn't a great distributor, whereas that's what Jordan Schroeder does. If Schroeder's not ready though, maybe Jensen is, or maybe Patrick Kane is available and Chicago decides Luongo is the best upgrade they can make in goal. I'm not suggesting a straight up trade, and the Canucks/Hawks history makes such a deal feel weird, but stranger things have happened. Anyway, if I were in Gillis' shoes, I'd be focusing on right-handed defensemen and third-line centres. I think Komisarek, Schenn, and Salmon Arm product Franson could all work out pretty nicely alongside Edler. Schenn would be at the top of my list, but we could use Komisarek's nastiness, like Schenn and Franson, he'd play way better in Vancouver's system than Toronto's hit- everyone-all-the-time defensive strategy. Volchenkov, even though he's a left-handed shot, would fit the nastiness bill quite nicely as well. As for the 3rd-line centre hole, if Gillis believes that even with a full summer of serious training that Malhotra can't be a dominant 3rd-line centre, I could see him making an agressive push to sign Paul Gaustad, Jarret Stoll, or Chris Kelly.

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Even if Florida was interested in Luongo, and I seriously doubt they are, Kulikov would not reach the discussion table. That would be like asking Tbay for Hedman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Are you kidding? You wouldn't take St. Louis or Parise? As if Schneids + backup + one of those guys wouldn't be a huge upgrade to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
