babych Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Luongo should get us something decent in return. 5.3mill isn't bad for an elite tender. Canucks need to hit a home run for Luo, he single-handedly wins games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazysl Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Lou for a top 5 draft position. Raymond for sidny crosby's right skate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Who cares about draft picks? The Canucks need a tough power forward who can score - and they need that NOW. We can't wait for some kid to develop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXnucks975 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 22 picks since we drafted somebody from BC? Hopefully they realize that drafting a BC player is always a crowd pleaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babych Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Are you kidding me? Last year Luongo was a freaking Vezina nominee (2.11 GAA, .928 Save%). Despite how bad he played in the finals, he also got the team to the Stanley Cup finals. Some of you are just... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It will be interesting to see what we are offered for Luongo. If few teams are interested, and those that are are offering virtually nothing, what does that say about his perceiced value. Maybe the NHL doesn't see him as an elite goalie anymore....maybe our fans over rate him. Maybe Schneider does go, because no one wants Lou.....Will be an interesting 9 days or so........

Cup2013? Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 An elite level goaltender is one that makes the clutch save when the team needs it most and steals games for the team. Ask yourself this: has Luongo been this goaltender over the past 2-3 years? Luongo had great numbers last year but consider how well the team played in front of him. Vancouver led the league in goals and allowed the fewest against. In spite of this Luongo was probably the 3rd best goalie stat-wise in the league. Luongo is a good, maybe even great goalie but he's NOT elite. Sorry to burst your bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuxFan09 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Whatever. Canucks fans are just so spoiled. I wasn't at all a fan of some of the stunts Luongo has pulled in the playoffs over the years but I still have enough of a level head to respect Luongo for what he truly is: a top 7 or so netminder in the game and one of the best of the last decade. A few meltdowns in the playoffs, no matter how critical, absolutely do not define him, nor deminish his status as an elite goaltender. I hope he gets the respect he deserves wherever he is traded. He is treated like crap here by the possibly the most idiotic and irrational fanbase in the entire NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
