oldnews Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It will save some cap space, but year we still need a back up for Schneider. But NOT trading Lu and we still have to sign Schneider, then thats a lot of cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckCupFever Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 i'd do luongo for brian campbell forget prospects and picks. if gillis wants a "hockey trade" this makes sense. campbell is same age as luongo, signed to big contract and upon arrival picks up were erhoff left off on pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 To be honest - I don't believe the Luongo is forcing the issue rumours - but I almost hope they are true. I will be happy as hell if he goes to Florida and would be willing to take slightly less to make that happen - no I'm not being sentimental and I know this is business etc, but I see Tallon as a reasonable guy who is likely to work out what is a fair deal, and the massive payoff would be getting to listen to the ongoing Leafs dilemma and the second guessing of their public devaluation of Luongo, their ignorant game playing, and the idea that they are in a position to play "hardball" with the Canucks. Suck it Leafs. Luongo didn't whine when Schneider was given games 3, 4 and 5 - he might have said no comment after game 5, but what he did say was the most professional comment that could be asked of him under the circumstances, and not only that, he praised Schneider and acknowledged that he is going to be a star in this league for a very long time. It was a sad day to see Luongo not get a Cup here - he may not put the team on his shoulders every night, but he sure as hell tries as hard as anyone to. I hope he gets exactly what he wants out of this situation, and I hope he goes to the Panthers and makes them Eastern Conference Champions next year - we'll see you in the SCF Roberto.

Niklas Jensen Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Gudbranson + Matthias for Luongo + Raymond Matthias will be our 3rd line center when Kes comes back. He'll step into Kes' role in his absence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Capitan Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The Canucks can make deals. They don't have to be cap compliant until opening day next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB007 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 As well as the rest of the team, unfortunately. How did he handle the pressure in games 1, 2 and 5 or game 7 against Chicago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Moody Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I am all for Brian Campbell. He is the exact Ehrhoff factor the Sedins were missing this season so dearly. People tend to forget how well the Sedins thrived under a true puck moving defenseman that knew exactly how to jump into the play. It's like playing with 4 forwards out there at times. This is EXACTLY what we were missing this year. A 7.1 mill hit isn't too bad if you put it into perspective, guys. Would you rather have a backup Luongo at 5.3 and a Malholtra at 2.5 or a Campbell at 7.1, a guy who could jumpstart the Sedins back to 100 point seasons?

Mike Vanderhoek Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Lol, Luongo is the douche? After so many successful seasons and many great years for luongo, our fans bash him after few playoff crumbles, in which the team in front of him left him hung out to dry. Luongo didn't deserve to be jeered/booed in his OWN ARENA EVER! But yet it happened. I still clearly remeber the game against NYR when he was jeered when he came out to handle the puck. Absolutely brutal. I felt embarressed to be a Canucks fan at that point. Lu is better off leaving here, and it's HIS choice where he goes. Don't like it? Well then don't expect much back in a trade, because we asked for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 An email was just sent from Tallon to Gillis: Hi Mike, I'm drafting the final trade agreement between us for Luongo and our 7th round pick. I thought, to be fair, I should give you a firm 7th pick over 'future consideration', because that would be unfair and I would not do that to you. The only question I have for you is, do you want 2013 or 2014 7th pick? Sincerely, Dale Tallon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaNuCkSLoUiE23 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Since it is Florida, Tallon and Gillis will likely get a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
