WiDeN Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wait wait wait. King, why are you arguing that Luongo isn't good for Toronto? Didn't you say that you thought he nullified a trade to Toronto at the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Fatigue Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 In before King finds some other way to prop up his argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 At that point, most teams will want to add a veteran goaltender with an expiring contract, not a guy with 9 years left on his deal at a significant cap hit. Not a lot of "hockey trades" made at the deadline, relatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 King, which veteran other than Luongo do you see as being a viable option for Toronto to bring in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 If for some reason Luongo decided he's not willing to walk away, a buyout in 2018 would cost $583k a year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of the ES Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Not a lot of hockey trades made at the deadline? Lol go back and look at the last few deadlines, then tell me if you think that, most the deals are hockey deals. And your not considering the other variables again King, the biggest flaw in your argument. Buy-out, retirement, another trade, if they really don't want him at that point there are ways to deal with him, it's not like there are completely locked in for the duration like u make it seem.

oldnews Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 And FWIW, Botchford had alluded to Lu blocking a trade to Toronto. I was merely the messenger, though I'm not sure why he'd make something like that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 ...and if you read between the lines, the Schenn offer clearly means that Luongo is worth at least 10 first round picks to them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The vast, vast majority of deadline deals consist of non-playoff teams selling off their veteran assets with expiring contracts to playoff teams that want a low-risk, low-commitment supplement their lineups. The Hodgson/Kassian trades are the exception to the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemy Time Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Scrivens, though, is an undrafted guy who's played 12 NHL games. Good as he's been in the AHL, too, he's only played 83 games there and he's in his 3rd season with the team. Totally unproven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiDeN Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Scrivens is an undrafted goalie who's played 12 NHL games and ~80 AHL games. He's not NHL-ready yet, if ever. TML would be well-served to bring in a veteran, if they're running with Reimer. There are plenty of names who could qualify - Dan Ellis is another one.

Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 In your mind, how do goalies become "proven" when you wouldn't give them a chance until they are? Steve Mason, Calder winner, was proven, now he's proven to be not so awesome. Schneider, NOT PROVEN!!, looks a heck of a lot better than Mason. Rask, he's in basically the same situation as Schneider, so... UNPROVEN!! He looks pretty good though. Someone call Jesus' agent, I hear he can make saves. He's been around for what... 2000 years or so. THAT'S PROVEN!! IT'S THE PLAYOFFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Fatigue Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Actually, the Jesus story is the biggest propaganda scheme ever put on paper. Taken by Rome, this pagan figure is the symbol of individualism and resides in the New Testament whereas the Old Testament is really a How to Grow Your Fields For Dummies book. Jesus is? UNPROVEN. Might as well stick with UNPROVEN Schneider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of the ES Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Anyway Botchford has since backtracked and corrected the rumour - Gillis rejected the Schenn offer, not Luongo. Just one more reason I have faith in our GM - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 To us 7 Million isn't significant, but to a guy who will have already made over 87 Million, plus endorsements, 7 Million isn't really significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
