GHL Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Last I checked, FLA made the playoffs because they're the best team in the weakest NHL division. I don't see their lineup laced with superstars and if their farm were better than their current roster, why aren't they playing in the hogs already. I call bullsh!t on all accounts. Huberdeau MIGHT... be the only legitimate future superstar. The rest, including gofer Bjugstad, are barely "stars". And they want Edler to boot. FLA Luongo Edler Schroeder VAN Campbell Versteeg Huberdeau Bjugstad Gudbranson This is a two year President trophy winning team dealing with a Southern Division de facto playoff team. The Detroit model is very Capitalist: the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Florida must pay up for what they want: a franchise goaltender, a franchise defenseman (compared to Lidstrom on numerous occasions) and an energy center.

arsenalian Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 If we trade Schroeder, who fills in for Kesler until December? Higgins, Malholtra? Either Gillis has a unkown plan or he doesn't iclude t Schroeder in the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsenalian Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Anyone know if this guy is legit? My buddy keeps sending me texts and re-tweets from him https://twitter.com/JamesBNHLNews 1h James Brown @JamesBNHLNews BREAKING NEWS BREAKING NEWS. Canucks and Florida have a verbal agreement on a trade and will pull the trigger on the deal once they know Where Doan will sign. Canucks will also include Raymond in this deal and will shed a lot of cap. The deal may not go through if Doan does not sign. The deal could happen right before Doan signs if Doan signs with VAN Or right after. Bjugstad will be involved and you heard it here first.

Biasbieksa Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The luongo deal would be done first and soon, if we had a good chance at Doan. But cant believe a random source like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Doctor Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The major issue in my opinion is the fact that if both goaltenders show up to training camp there will be a circus of media distraction at the beginning of the season. Not a positive thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Now that I read the latest news my last post is probably not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suolucidir Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 That tweet just seems like an educated guess. It makes a lot of sense. If I were a rumor mill I'd probably put my rep on the line with a guess like that. Once Doan lands, the rest could fall. It's also a fair guess that the deal could be pending a resolution to the new CBA negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teksys Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I just want something to happen, this dry spell is killing me. We've been talking about the same possiblities for a month now. Doan should just sign somewhere so the rest of the league can make their trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Whether there are one or two goaltenders at training camp is irrelevant; there will be the media circus nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RO8!! Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Well, isn't just also very well known that the canucks have won the president's trophy two years in a row because they play in the weakest division in the NHL (even FL's division had 2 teams in the playoffs this year- and for goodness sake, 3 years in a row first overall pick Edmonton!). I think the canucks need to get rid of Luongo more than FL needs him. I mean the canucks chose a goalie with a grand total of 68 nhl games (plus 3 playoffs) experience over Luongo, that right there tells the world what the team that knows him best thinks of his fututre performance.

Canuck Surfer Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 It is akward. Dude signs a deal where he got paid $10 mill, highest salary in the league 2 seasons ago, is still owed $40 odd million and he's not happy to compete with a young goalie for time. Its not a great message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
