.Naslund Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Sorry but terrible trade in my opinion. Let's trade a top 10 goalie in the NHL & a possible 15-20 goal winger for a 3rd-4th line center at best, a backup waaaaaaay past his prime goalie, and a decent prospect who isn't ready to play in the NHL, and maxes out at a 2nd-3rd line player too. So we trade the 2 best players in the trade and get little back. NICE TRADE BRO <---sarcasm Thank god a bunch of you aren't GMs of the Canucks haha, you guys would pull the trigger on trades too fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Luongo, Hansen for Weiss, Bjugstad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 We could look at this the other way too. Pretend I'm a biased Panthers fan for a moment. "We get a $5.3 million past his prime goaltender, when we already have one of the top goaltending prospects in the world almost ready to take a starter role, and a 30 point mistake prone winger, for our cheap, perfectly capable starter, great 3rd line centre, and a potential 2nd line big bodied 2-way player." I don't like it anymore than you do, but this is pretty much what we are going to be getting for Luongo, if not worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 But I don't think we will have to settle for worse, I think that will be the worst, as Gillis is adiment that he will only do it if it is a good hockey deal that makes sense for both sides.

Smashian Kassian Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I used to think that if we didn't get a decent return we could just keep Lu around for a while, but his recent comments seem to indicate that he's going to be gone by the start of next season. I fear if we lull this out for too long we may have to settle a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armada Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 What? are you saying he isn't worth Howden or he is worth more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Disagree with you. I'd say Howden is equal to or greater than Raymond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yeah that's exactly what I said, see I was just asking him why he thinks it's so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Ah. I see it now. You're saying Raymond is LESS THAN (<) Howden. Thought you were saying Howden is Less than Raymond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 No no, Raymond < Howden haha. I didn't think all that much of Howden as a prospect, other than he is a fast skater, and a good two-way player. Maybe a good 2nd/3rd line winger. But now that he scored 40 goals this year I could see him as a legit top 6 forward. Hopefully we get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Agreed, we don't need rookie centers anymore, we need a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hmmm let's see, we have a player who has done hardly anything offensively on the second line (25 goals in last 125 games), versus a 20 year old first round pick who had 65 points in 50 games last year, and plays a power forward role. I wonder who is worth more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
