The-Impersonator Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Lu 100% wants to go to Florida but Florida is using this trying to not trade us back anything of significance. The Oilers are making a hard play for him. They know they can't keep all their young stars. They are dangling Gagner since he's dad works for the organization and they are trying to use that. Gillis is intrigued enough that he's made a counter proposal which includes one of the young stars but don't think the Oilers will bite. He'll end up in Toronto. Burke will make the best offer since he know's the Leafs haven't made the playoffs in 8 years and Lu will get them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Impersonator Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Do you have a source detailing the Edmonton info you mentioned? I haven't heard anything other than rumblings from Botchford that Edmonton might be a destination, which I don't really see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Yes. However, I just don't see Edmonton giving up what Vancouver wants, especially to a Division rival and Lu may not be as likely to go to waive his NTC to go there. Toronto is at least only a 2 hour or so flight to FLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Mullet, would you seriously take that over Colborne+Carter+1st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 This thread is hilarious I'm going to laugh so hard at everyone debating about the Laffs fragile core if MG doesn't even deal him to the Laffs. I'm going to say that if we do deal Luongo with the Laffs you're seeing this coming back AT LEAST... Colborne + Kulemin + Colborne + Grabo + Colborne + Carter + 1st Kadri + Kulemin + Kadri + Grabo + Kadri + Carter + 1st Gardiner + 1st + Cap dump. That's all.

The Bookie Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Gardiner is hyped beyond belief in TO. I watch all their games, he is a great player but he's not what we need, not assuming we keep Edler and Garrison and have Connauton on the way up.

sampy Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Ray Ferraro on 1040 this morning was saying the Canucks should take Bozak over Colbourne. Lu, Sauve, Alberts, 3rd For Bozak, Gardiner/Rielly and Connolly (cap dump) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Impersonator Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 So, in other words, you have no identifiable source and we have no reason to believe you. Do you by chance have a twitter account that spells your name as @Thee-Impersonatorr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kassassin Train Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 No chance of the Gardiner deal, 0 chance. - Burke doesn't wanna give up the first, so the Colbourne/Kadri + Ashton + 1st Deal's would be more like: Kadri/Colbourne + Ashton + 2nd. - If Grabo is the roster player we get, there won't be an extra +, it will just be Grabo and one other thing. - I don't really think they wanna give up Kulemin all that much either, but ditto probably goes above, if we do get 2 extra things, it will be a Colbourne/Kadri/Ashton type thing and probably a 2nd or 3rd.

Smashian Kassian Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Personally I don't see Luongo going to the Leafs. I believe Gillis this time around. Comfortable with Luongo on the team then the trade deadline...more suitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmanVan Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I highly doubt that, who else is going to jump in? There are only two options. - Florida - Toronto I dont see anyone else seriously jumping in like they have. Who else do you have in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Chicago, Tampa Bay, New Jersey, Edmonton, Columbus, San Jose, Washington, Ottawa to name a few. I think people are underestimating how quickly a teams situation can change. If Luongo does end up starting the season with the Canucks there are numerous scenarios that can take place over a relatively short period of time. What if Braden Holtby absolutely tanks Steve Mason style? What if Anders Lindback is nowhere near ready to be an nhl starter? What if Brodeur has a freak injury pretty much assuring he will not return? What if the Islanders bury DiPietro in the minors or buy him out? What if Columbus is better than expected and gives us an offer we absolutely can't refuse so they can make a playoff push? What if San Jose simply decides to go in a different direction instead of Niemi? Don't reiterate that crap about "well Luongo won't waive his no trade clause to go there....." If we're testing Luongo's pride vs Mike Gillis' patience I put my money on Mike Gillis' patience everytime. I can see Luongo waving his no trade clause even for a place like Long Island or Columbus if it meant he was the number 1 guaranteed starter ( and assuming they had a decent chance at the playoffs at the time Luongo was to be traded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Those people who think he will waive his NTC to go to Columbus have no clue what they are talking about. Yes he made those comments but that was more directed at the notion that he wouldn't go to Toronto. He earned his NTC, and why would he want to waive it to go to Columbus, think about it? He would rather stay here then go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
