Canucks_fo_life Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Luongo + Ballard to FLA for picks and prospects. They reach the cap floor and we get some cap space to go after top tier players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 You forgot his nickname evolved from JovoCop to JovoCaugh during his stay here... not sure if he has changed his ways but really no thanks if someone wants to send him our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 60 minutes per game yes, but half the time he's just standing there picking his nose cause the play is either in the offensive or in the neutral zone. So really the goalie is probably only doing work for roughly 30 minutes a game. But, regardless I think it's a waste of an asset not to mention cap space to have 2 starting goalies when one of them can be traded to improve other parts of the team. We've been ripping Florida off for a decade now, so it's about time they get the better end of the stick in a possible Luongo trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dildo_baggins Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=399474 Are the Florida Panthers the clear frontrunner for Roberto Luongo? Darren Dreger: Yes, there are ongoing negotiations between Vancouver and Florida. Canucks general manager Mike Gillis is driving the bus and the bus is in low gear. Nothing has changed since the NHL Draft but there is an ongoing negotiation. The Panthers didn't like the first approach from Gillis and countered with another offer but I wouldn't say that it's close. The Toronto Maple Leafs did express interest but I'm also told the Leafs are not engaged in discussions with Vancouver at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italia2006 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Now that Schneider has a deal in principal I bet this will have a Luongo deal done asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'm going to say a trade will occur first week of July. Somewhere around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I say a trade happens mid To late August, on the hottest day of the year, when everybodies at the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJokinen! Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I find it really interesting how no one in the media had any clue about a deal with Schneider being this close. It's not often that a team breaks their own signings these days, especially when so many media members are following the Canucks so closely with the Schultz and Luongo stuff. I think sometimes we are led to believe that reporters know more about a situation than they actually do. Yesterday there were conflicting reports from McKenzie and Murph, McKenzie said no one had met with Schultz yet but Murph said the Canucks had already. McKenzie even said himself that the teams were being very tight lipped and he likely wouldn`t learn much from them but was tweeting about it all day anyways. On-topic: Could Schneider`s signing indicate a Luongo trade is close? There's been a lot of speculation that he wouldn't sign until Lou was traded, but now he has. I don't think he would without at least having Gillis' assurance that Lou will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyking Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Just so you know, Mike Gillis has always been secretive about his deals till they are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJokinen! Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yeah that's true. It's sometimes pointless to speculate on what the insiders say about the Canucks. Although if it's about a trade they can always learn from the other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw_fatcat Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Not going to happen , I doubt Florida is that desperate to trade 2 of there best young players especially when currently there is no other team that Luo will approve a trade too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiDeN Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yeah, Luongo's list is a complete unknown, and we will probably only find out one team on that list. No one will talk about what has been said behind closed doors, and that's probably the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSniper88 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Before posting what player we want from florida or to...read this cuz this explains why the luongo trade has not happened yet.. http://www.hockeybuz...ld-They/1/45283 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
