Luongo and Chicago


Junkyard Dog

Recommended Posts

Several posters here seem to think that Luongo playing for Chicago guarantees them a Stanley Cup. Why would a team like Chicago, who are now merely a shell of thier championship team, be able to win a Stanley Cup with a proven playoff basketcase?

Aside from bombing in the SCF, Luongo couldn't get this team out of the second round and I would say that the last three years of this Canucks team are much better than today's version of the Blackhawks.

Luongo for Jonathan Toews, Brandon Saad, 2 1st round picks.

Jonathan Toews to Philly for Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds, and Sean Couturier

Simmonds and Couturier for Alex Pietrangelo and Tarasenko

Brayden Schenn, and a 7th to Jarome Iginla

Jarome Iginla to Nashville for Colin Wilson and Shea Weber.

Colin Wilson to Toronto for JVR, and Jake Gardiner.

JVR to Washington for Karl Alzner and John Carlsson

John Carlsson to Anaheim for Kyle Palmieri and Luca Sbisa

Sign Shane Doan and Alex Semin for 500k each.

Trade Shane Doan to the Sharks for Brent Burns, and 2 1st round picks.

Trade Alex Semin to Columbus for Rick Nash.

Trade Nash for Mikheal Granlund, Zack Phillips, Charlie Coyle.

Trade Granlund to Calgary for Backlund

Trade Backlund to New Jersey for Zajac

Zajac to the Islanders for Strome, Nelson, and Nielson.

Strome to Tampa Bay for Connelly

Trade Connelly to Yotes for OEL, and 2 1st round picks.

Move 2 first round picks for Evander Kane.

Trade Evander Kane to Carolina for Jeff Skinner

Jeff Skinner to Dallas for Jack Campbell, Brendan Morrow, and 2 1st round picks.

Trade a 1st round pick for Nick Bjustad and Kris Versteeg

Move Versteeg, 1st for Bobby Ryan

Trade Bobby Ryan to Edmonton for MPS and Hall

Trade Hall to Colorado for Duchene, 1st, and ROR

Trade Duchene to Detroit for Datsyuk, Smith.

Datsyuk can then go to Ottawa for Karlsson, and 5 first round picks.

Karlsson can be traded to the Canadiens for PK Subban, Tinordi, 10 first round draft picks.

Then you can trade Pk Subban, 2 1st round picks to Buffalo for Tyler Myers.

Then you can trade a 1st round pick to the Rangers for Kreider.

Essentially, you have traded Luongo for a whole new roster. GG

This team has averaged like 2 goals (or less even) pre game the past 2 playoff series. The only way we could win was to have Luongo get a shutout every game. If the team would help Luongo a bit in the playoffs then maybe we would have won the cup and had a few longer runs. Luongo is the reason we made it to the 2nd round to begin with. Just because he hasn't the cup for us doesn't mean he is bad or a playoff choker. It's a team game and he can't do it by himself, way too much work and pressure for that.

If you will look at the summary stats from the playoffs, you will see that Quick ended up with a GAA of less than a goal and a half per game - against EVERYBODY. Teams who have goalies that let in more than a goal and a half in this year's playoffs LOST. Luongo had the WORST GAA of any goalie in the playoffs playing at least a full game. His GAA was about 3.5. Schneider, playing behind the SAME TEAM, had a GAA of 1.31 - the best of all goalies in the playoffs including QUICK. I don't know a simpler way to put this for the terminally stupid, but we lost because we had the WORST playoff goalie - Luo. Now Schneider can have the excuse of lack of support because he actually achieved the lowest GAA and save % of all the goalies in the playoffs. When you are the WORST, like Luongo, you can't claim that excuse.

If I'm Gillis I have two words if Bowman calls me: Patrick Kane. There's no way we give our biggest rivals the one piece they're missing unless we get a great piece coming back. Dave Bolland and Nicklas Hjalmarrson ain't gonna cut it.

To CHI:

Luongo

Schroeder/Jensen

To VAN:

Kane

Higgins passes to Kesler, Kesler passes to Kane, Kane shortchanges a cab driver then jumps him from behind with his cousin.

or

Kesler passes to Raymond, Raymond falls over, Kane with the rebound leaves the ice and spends the next 12 hours at a frat party trying to start fight because he's Patrick mo f***ing Kane!

...yeah, no thanks.

At this point Gillis has waited too long already.

All you are getting back is Ray Emery to back up Cory (not a good idea) and a second round pick 2013.

Toronto is the only team that really needs a number 1 goalie..

Crawford will stay in Chicago..Do you know who is idol was growing up ? Luongo..

You are in no way in hell getting Sharp or Toews for Lu. I could see like Kane maybe but thats seems like a stretch too, but maybe like a 3rd/2nd line foward and bottom 4 defensemen. But man Lu on that team with Toews, Kane, Sharp, Bolland, Hossa, Keith, Seabrook playing infront of him....WOW
