[Discussion] Roberto Luongo Trade Thread 4.0


Recommended Posts

1. "heard from others" who? Buddies?

2. Doesn't make any sense. Yes Subban is terrific but why would we trade for him, our defense isn't our biggest concern, short or long term, center is both short and long term.

3. If a trade with Fla happens, why wouldn't we take Huberdeau? That makes sense to me...

4. Therefore, your trade sounds a bit too much like buddies at the bar

CDC ers need to understand. Sanjose is winning and playing well right now, they have a goalie signed who has won a cup. Dont think they are trading partners as muchas id like pavelski, dont think they are interested in luongo

He should be sent to a eastern conference team only.

If San Jose traded Pavelski they'd have no RH shots up front, or a RH faceoff specialist, but I guess that isn't that big of a deal.

Personally, I think the mystery team is Washington and Brooks Laich is the guy Gillis wants (plus prospect and a pick) to replace Malhotra next year. Prior to Laich extending there were heavy rumours that the Canucks were going to target him in UFA. The guy is a natural born leader that will go through a wall, is willing to drop the gloves and is versatile.

With Schneider between the pipes, our current D-core, a top-5 PP, a top-5 PK, and a shutdown line of Higgins-Laich-Hansen we'd have a mirror image of the 2010-2011 team and a perhaps the right recipe for a Cup victory.

Not saying WSH/Laich isn't the mystery team/player, but Laich has had 5 fights in 4 seasons in the NHL....I wouldn't call that 'willing to drop the gloves' as you say.

This team needs toughness IMO. I know he's not a center, but I'm praying that the guy Gillis is targeting is Clowe and they get one of SJ's other centermen to simply 'fill-in' until Kesler returns. Clowe is exactly the type of player this team is missing. Pavelski would be a great addition as well, but not as good as Clowe considering how this team is built right now. Clowe is who I hope Kassian develops into in 2-3 years. With the Sedins, he could be a 30g guy and hold other teams accountable for their actions finally.

It was part of a 3 way trade that someone I know aparently heard about. Im was not saying this will happen but posted it for discussion. BuretoMogilny and a few others posted why they thought it was non plausible. This was the main parts to the 3 way that we were talking about:

Vancouver: Suban

Montreal: Huberdeau

Florida: Luongo

Funny thing about the Toronto media's response to Gillis' news.

They showed their cards once again. Truth is they have no idea who Gillis is talking to and about what.

If they weren't very interested in Luongo, the news wouldn't have initiated that kind of response - ie. uh, oh that's interesting, who really cares?

Instead, they bit hard and over-reacted in firm denial: ie. NO NO, we're the only ones who 'don't want' Luongo.

Hahahaha.

Either way, Gillis just owned them...again.
