LegionOfDoom Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The guy is still an unreal player, but I don't like that trade. Luongo is a top 10 goalie in the league we can do much better and hopefully younger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beer&meat Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Dumb question, Luongo is not going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklesmith Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 VL contract is way more of an anchor than Luongo's. Its 7 years compared to 6 years (which is when the contracts drops down dramatically) the salary is a million dollars more per season, 2 million more in a cap hit and most importantly Luongo is still a productive goalie where VL can hardly find a spot to play on a non playoff team.

canucksnihilist Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I u wouldn't do this deal, give your head a shake. He is a playoff performer, forget the regular season stats. Like Richards, he has the potential and if motivated ... If he retires in 3-4 years, isn't that the end of the sedin era window? We need to make that bold move to get another player of impact while the window is still open - lecalvier is a definite upgrade over Raymond!!!!! Let tanev play and dump ballads salary, whatever makes it work to win the cup in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saskfan Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I'd take the deal Vinny plays hard, has some ups and downs, but overall has the skill set that we need in our top six...Imagine Booth-Vinny-Kes as a line when kes is healthy, and Booth Vinny Kassian/Higgins until Kes is back...looks like a good trade to me...that is if nothing better comes our way (and that includes a deal for Cory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageForever420 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Forget Vinny he won t come to Canada ,,He will never waive his no trade clause. He is so well in Tampa..Why would he come here? To make us happy? Dont think so...He refused to play in Mtl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Only want we take back Lecavalier is if they take back Ballard along with Luongo or if they give us high compensation for taking extra cap eg 10th overall. Another option is we take Lecavalier and then move him to Toronto and take back something like Lombardi and Schenn to offset the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 We need a big, physical shutdown defenceman with playoff experience and I'd rather trade Schneider. Something along the lines of Schneider for Brent Seabrook would be exactly what this team needs. Edler - Seabrook Hamhuis - Bieksa Salo - Alberts Tanev That's a much bigger, physical defence already that can handle the big forwards who destroyed us in the last 2 playoff series.

2009cupchamps Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Booth-Vinny-Kassian Higgins-Kelser-Purcell Hansen-Lappy-bitz Hamhius-Bieksa Edler-Tanev Garrisson-Schultz Alberts Schnieder Lack This still gives us Approx 2 mil in cap space with Schnieder getting 3.5 mil Gone is Luongo,Raymond and Ballard and Malholtra for Vinny, Purcell and Connolly/Aullie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCF4E Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Eh... Don't really want Vinny and his contract. I doubt TB will give us St. Louis. Maybe Malone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I loved Lecavalier! I got his jersey. BUT that was in 2006 Times have changed. He isn't the same player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westcoasting Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I think the more important question would be why Vinny would waive his ntc to come and play here? Don't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 How about Luongo for Joe Thornton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd71 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 A move from Tampa to Vancouver would cost Lecavalier about 13% of his salary in taxes. I don't know if he would have provisions that those differences would be made up but if not I can't see him waiving an NTC to lose seven hundred a year to taxes.

Deamon852 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 do not want vinny. I'd rather go all in for Nash (if we trade schneider) or save up that cap space and target Weber when he's an FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
