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


Recommended Posts

the Province once again doesn't really get it.

I like Sean Bergenheim, but suggesting that he makes more sense than Bjugstad is pretty uninformed - the last thing the Canucks need is another left winger.

Doan is exactly what the Canucks need - if Doan doesn't sign in Vancouver, who are the right wing options on the Panthers (or Leafs)? A young center and a right handed blueliner (Petrovic) make the most sense - perhaps not in the first two months of the next season, but for the future - and the need for an immediate upgrade to the third line center or top six is over-stated - Doan would be great, and another NHL ready center likewise (if not Bjugstad, Matthias makes more sense than Bergenheim) but regardless, the Canucks have lots of viable options.

Agreed about Bergenheim, the last thing Nucks need is another small/average winger. According to capgeek, Floridas natural righties = Versteeg, Upshall. Toronto = Kessel, Kulemin, Frattin.

I also think a righty d-man and/or C make the most sense - based on Friedmans reports of what Gillis wanted at trade deadline. Garrison filled the immediate need of a righty d-man, though I'd think Gillis is still looking for another. A centre makes the most sense IMO.

I think we could really use Bergenheim. He's super clutch in the playoffs and would add some much needed grit to our third line.

To Vancouver: Sean Bergenheim + Shawn Mathias

To Florida: Roberto Luongo + Mason Raymond + Manny Malhotra

Sign Doan to $6.1 a year for 3 years

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows

Booth - Kesler - Doan

Bergenheim - Mathias - Higgins

Kassian - Lapierre - Hansen

Edler - Garrison

Hamhuis - Bieksa

Ballard - Tanev

Schneider

Lack/UFA back up

Luongo + Tanev + Raymond to FLA

Gudbranson + Matthias to VAN

Sign UFA Shane Doan, and the cup winning lineup looks like this

Sedins-Burr

Booth - Kesler - Doan

Higgins - Matthias - Hansen

Volpatti/Pinnizotto - Lapierre - Kassian

Hamhuis - Bieksa

Edler - Garrison

Ballard - Gudbranson

If Luongo goes anywhere, it won't be TO. They have junk and are underpaying on top of that. Saying MG will wait till the trade deadline for Burke to get desperate is ridiculous because the only thing TO has of any value is their draft picks which are likely to be high even if Luongo goes over and Burke would be crazy to give those up for an older goalie considering TO is rebuilding? (who knows what they are doing). All the more giving up first round picks at the deadline is pointless for a guy like Luo who is money in the bank for the regular season.

Dont think Tallon would feel heat into the season; for Florida its just a matter of what direction they go, got some great upcoming talent. If they pass on Luongo, they'll build around another position. Making the playoffs for them certainly is not as vital as it is for TO.

So I dont think anyone is gonna get squeezed into the season, MG knows this and thats why Luongo will be traded before after a bit of compromise from FLA

Proposal after proposal on here always involves Raymond - when will people realize HE HAS NO TRADE VALUE at this point. If he has a great pre-season and lights it up in the regular season then he might regain what value he had before last season but please quit trying to pawn off players like Raymond in deals for other teams blue chip prospects

/end rant

Are you serious...look at Bergenheim's playoff stats, he's an excellent third liner as well. And Mathias is 24 and will only get better.

Also, if we want to give Doan a reasonable contract, then we have to unload some salary. If we have to change Bergenheim to Bjugstad.
