[Rumours/Reports] Official Roberto Luongo Trade Thread (Keep it all here please)


Recommended Posts

Toronto just got burned Edmonton style. Luongo probabaly doesn't want to play with the dirty Keith. Plus he doesn't want Toews to expose him for what he really is. Most importantly he doesn't want to play with a rat like Bolland.

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

he is a number one goalie but he is being a douche about this... he wants to be traded but he is giving MG limited moves... maybe luongo has more loyalty to Florida and maybe he is trying to help Tallon give less for him so luongo and his new team will be winning in the trade and helping Luongo in the long run Luongo is being such a dick about this i just can't believe it

ThisFlorida is rebuilding, they have Markstrom and they know MG is limited on who he can trade Luongo too, we are not getting a top prospect out of Florida.a big contract for a big contract trade seems reasonable, plus the Canucks could use a good offensive Dmen like Campbell to fill the void that was been vacent ever since Ehroff left.

Roberto is not the one being lame here. He signed that contract not too long ago. He promised the Canucks the rest of his career and here we are chasing him out of town because we finally found a backup who can play?

He has every right to choose his next destination. He already chose Vancouver. He's the jilted party with the NTC.

We don't need to clear cap space to bring in a power forward. We'll have a tonne of room if the cap goes up to $70 million like its supposed to.

And this only helps IF Schneider is ready to be the #1. Let's just say he struggles this year, like most youngsters handed the reins to a team. What if that costs us 10 wins and a berth in the playoffs?

While there is no doubt most of us believe in our red-headed, golden boy, he is far from a proven #1.

We already have one of those: Luongo!

There is that little thing about the Olympic Gold Medal as well, but hey, what's that compared to what James Reimer, Scott Clemmensen and Jakob Markstrom bring to the table....

Of course he's within his rights to stipulate his preferred destination, but if he truly wants out of Vancouver, he's making it virtually impossible. As it sits right now, he's "within his rights" to ride the pine in Vancity, or as Bob McKenzie suggests, earn his big bucks in A Wolves uni.

Lets see what they think at the deadline when both are on the playoff bubble (and it's about to burst).
