eretz canucks Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I'd love for this trade to happen but somewhere along the line, the media determined Lyongo wasn't worth anything useful, if Gillis was getting offered this the trade would have been done by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 The obvious target, if we're dealing with Edmonton, is probably Paajarvi. A realistic deal might be something like Luongo + Ballard for Paajarvi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eretz canucks Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Agree with old news. Puke in my mouth to trading Luongo and Ballard for MPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Just when I thought it wasn't possible, you manage to trump yourself. The "obvious target"? Another left winger - who if falling off the charts in Edmonton - (after three Luongo threads, hundreds of pages, and as many arguments, you are still oblivious to what the Canucks need?) - and Luongo alone isn't enough to land him? Beyond facepalm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorFutureGM Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Yes, the "obvious target". Yours might be Jordan Eberle, but I prefer to live on this planet called Earth. MPS is a good player who was sent down last year for seasoning - and maybe to help make sure that Edmonton was as bad as they were (possible). He's younger than Kassian, yet he's somehow "falling off the charts" in Edmonton. That's rich. He had 15 goals and 34 points as a rookie, had an injury-plagued sophomore season, and you're now writing him off? He's also averaged nearly a point per game in the AHL since being there. Go ask Oiler fans if they'd give up MPS for Luongo. Some might, which is why this trade is fair. Others would think that we're crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Soft goal from behind the goal line is Luongos nightmare, Richards knew where to shoot on him if Lou kept that out and the Canucks beat the 5 on 3 the outcome of that game would have been probably different. The team did in fact deflate and played like crap after that goal. I have been a big Luongo supporter but those weak behind the net goals he lets in are game killers. Smart players know if you shoot at his feet from bad angles you have a good chance it will go in. Enough is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I doubt the Oilers would want to part with Paajarvi for Luongo.If the Oilers would to trade for Luongo it would be for tertiary prospects ie: Omark, Hamilton, Martindale.

ConnorFutureGM Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Of course they wouldn't. He was the 10th overall pick 3 years ago. He's younger than Zack Kassian, and oldnews has already written him off (even though he's currently gotten more points in less games than Zack in the AHL). I seem to recall another 10th overall pick from 2008, who some said was "falling off the charts" in Vancouver (not strong numbers in the AHL), who then broke out in 2011 - and then we traded him. Edmonton would have to really, really want Luongo for them to give us MPS straight-up - don't forget that acquiring Luongo would also force them to either move Dubnyk or Khabibulin.

D-Money Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 King of ES thinks Oilers wouldn't trade MPS straight-up for Luongo? That's nothing short of bat-s*** crazy. Of course they would - and of course we wouldn't. Although, he'd be a good piece as part of a package. And with Oilers' other forwards, he's a virtual afterthought to him. I am also in favour of moving Ballard - and Edmonton may actually be a destination that would value him. I could see a smaller trade involving KB4 over Lu going to a division rival.

Ossi Vaananen Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 The quasi-proposal that I had brought up was Lu & Ballard for MPS. MPS is younger than Kassian, which I think a few people around here clearly need a reminder on. Would you all trade Kassian for a guy like Lecavalier?

elvis15 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I'm pretty sure at some point, Steve Tambo spoke to MIke Gillis, as they are pretty close friends, in regards to Luongo in a business stand point. Obviously, MIke Gillis has said in the past, if a trade makes sense he will do it, wether it's a division rival or not, he even offered up Hodgson to Division Rival Colorado for Landaskogg. Anything can happen. For me, I just want Mike Gillis to make the right trade. I don't really give a damn if Luongo ends up to a division rival if a good deal is coming our way. No question about it.

King of the ES Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 MPS and Kassian - both drafted in 09. Both born in 91, MPS in April while Kass in January. Now 3 months is a significant factor in judging age? As per Kassian for Lecalvalier, it's not exactly a fair comparison. MPS value has sharply dropped, while Lecalvalier's contract has a significantly higher cap hit of 7 mil than Lu's 5.3m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
