[Discussion] Roberto Luongo Trade Thread (Keep all discussion here)


Recommended Posts

No I'm not. I'm saying that he should've given it right back to him, like any red-blooded male should/would when being so blatantly disrespected by somebody else.

And to your earlier point, NO, San Jose wouldn't have exclusively gotten a PP, the ref almost definitely would've taken both. Joe Thornton would not have allowed Henrik Sedin to do that to him, so he would've retaliated. But, nice try.

Insider Trading today. Talked about Luongo (right side of screen): http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/ontsn/#

Dreger basically said Canucks say there are 5 teams in the mix. He thinks Florida is still the front runner. But Florida needs Van to take money back, and Gillis won't do it. He said "Its been suggested Gillis would ultimately waive Roberto Luongo to avoid taking on that money But that sounds unlikely". Dreger thinks a Luongo deal will likely be done when a lockout is lifted.

Not sure how much I believe Dregs, he's been all over the map on the Lu situation.

Haha - days gone by and King still trying to school Henrik on manhood...

Dreger is just as predictable - still doing the Leafs bidding - five teams in the mix but "it's been suggested" (by what halfwit?) that Gillis could waive Luongo... part hilarious, part ridiculous, part sad contradiction trying to lower the price for brother Burkie and cousin Nonis. Dreger should just give it up - he isn't a credible source where the Canucks and Leafs are concerned. Although waiving Luongo would be preferable to his ludicrous Komisarek lowball, neither are gonna happen. Pretty much any outsider can see that Dreger is talking out his Larfsehole on this one.

He's just trying to sound like Don Cherry. We all know how many cups his infinite wisdom won him.

I'd like to see a guy like Kassian develop in to the Sedins' winger and use his mean side to keep the twins from having to push back, but under no circumstances should the Sedins be expected to be rough between whistles. That's not so smart. We're trying to keep Kesler and Burrows from doing that, cause it's not their role anymore. Why would we ask the twins to do it?

Not surprisingly, a disparaging piece of news to the Canucks' clearly awful negotiating position sparks a new conspiracy - Darren Dreger is somehow trying to screw over the Canucks to benefit his cousin.

Only in Vancouver.

Oldnews, out of curiosity, does this news item make you at least question the valuation that you've put on Luongo, throughout this thread, or is this really a conspiracy by Dreger to somehow persuade Mike Gillis to trade him to the Leafs on the cheap? Think about it.
