stuckinontario Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 The owners offer must have made Luongo's value increase. You wont be able to get players at long contracts with a decent cap hit anymore by the looks of things. Lou type players will be 5 -7 years max at 7.5 per minimum like price and rinne etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll get the details later. The deadline for Panthers RFA defenseman Dmitry Kulikov to accept the team’s offer passed on Sunday so the offer is now off the table. All that means is that the Panthers and Kuli will continue negotiations until they get it done. GM Dale Tallon and asst.

Again, he will be playing for the Panthers this year so there’s no sense of urgency there. There’s absolutely no recent chatter on the Roberto Luongo front. The Panthers are content with their trio of goalies and are certainly holding all the cards in this situation. It appears that Caps forward Alexander Semin wants big payday (perhaps $10 million over two years) but only Russian league would ante that much for him. I’ve heard the Panthers have expressed preliminary interest but price tag seems too steep. There’s not much else out there so don’t expect much action for the rest of the summer. I have never believed in Florida's interest in Luongo. They have good goaltending. Why make holes in other places to fill holes you don't have?

TOMapleLaughs Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Might have to wait until after the lockout/cba negs to see what happens here. First of all, none of the teams are in any hurry to get a deal done. Secondly, the new CBA could greatly impact teams' cap structure as well as Luongo's current contract. Hehe. Watch Suter's and Parise's deals be ripped-up. (Not gonna happen, but it would be funny.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noheart Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 No kidding. He's not a free agent, he's under contract w/ the Canucks, so why would they be talking to his agent? They're not allowed to.

RUPERTKBD Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Again, I don't think Brian burke was ever interested in Luongo, probably because of the contract, as we know, he is not a fan of that type of contract. Nonis we know, is really interested in him, but Burke has the final say. Burke has offered us refusable offers in order to look like he is trying to add better players, when in fact he has very little interest. This way, he can protect his own interest, by at least look like he is trying to trade for Luongo. If he does nothing, and everything goes bad next season, he will get thrown under the bus. However if he's made the offers to Gillis, at least the media cannot lash out at him for "not trying" because he can say, he's already tried, to trade for Luongo. Epic fail on his assistant too, for saying they don't want to give up too many assets for Luongo. Fail. We will gladly hang onto him into the regular season were his value will go up, once teams realize they need goaltending, or once Luongo starts playing real good again, the interest will be there. Burke can go screw himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsenalian Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 So they are potentially taking on 10 years of contract without speaking to Luongo or his agent? You would think Gillis would grant them the right to do that, what a dick! "@hfialkov: Correcting earlier tweet. Panthers haven't spoken to Canucks recently.

DIBdaQUIB Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 If Burke is counting on using the "I tried" excuse, he's going to be in trouble. MLSE will counter with "you failed". Burke can state that he's comfortable with his goaltending, but it's just posturing. As is his feigned "disinterest" in Luongo. He's trying to minimize the cost, as are Tallon and Yzerman. Of the three, Burke is the most likely to lose his job if he misses another postseason. Stevie Y will survive because he's Stevie Y and Tallon will likely get a mulligan. However, fans and media in all three cities would look at their respective GMs and say "You should have made the deal" should they fail to make the playoffs next year.

RUPERTKBD Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 If MG can't move Lu for a decent return, whether that be prospects, picks or players, the owners have to question MG's handling of the whole Luongo/Schneider affair and subsequent expectations for Lu. WIth a number of teams obviously in need of better goaltending, the difficulty in moving Lu (who's cap hit and realistic 6 year tenure are not a stumbling block) would seem to indicate Lu's reputation and/or the drama surrounding him, make him a far less attractive asset than MG and many Vancouver fans believe. Lu's contract was MG's baby and he has to own-up to that. The politics and awkwardness surrounding Cory and Lu is also of his making. If he can't move LU after all has been said by him, Lu and others, MG has badly mismanaged the Vancouver goalie situation and as an owner, I would be concerned what that could mean for the team going forward.
