vancanfan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 On Wednesday, the hot rumor was Luongo to . . . the Flyers? It all started with a report from former player-turned-analyst Enrico Ciccone, who tweeted that the Flyers have interest in Luongo. His report was seconded by TSN analyst James Duthie, who is believed to be a close friend of Luongo. When contacted, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren quickly shot down the rumors. "That made me chuckle," Holmgren told the Daily News. "It's safe to say those rumors aren't true. They have no basis or merit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Philly matches up better than Toronto for a trade for Louongo, just better young talent at more positions for the Canucks. Coutier or B.Schenn being the perfect fit for the Canucks and Holmgren is the type of GM to do it. Snider is filty rich and bying out Bryz is nothig to him. Lou makes the Fyers instant cup contenders in the east in a compressed season with little or no travel or time zones unlike the west. This rumour puts serious pressure on Toronto and Flotida to up the ante. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks17_33_22 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 GMs are not allowed to talk about trades publicly till the CBA is retified by the players, so of course Holmgren would say its not true just to make sure that he's not in trouble.

Rusty_Element Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'd rather have a Luongo-Schneider tandem than trade Luongo for prospects and picks. We need a solid return NOW that will help us win a cup this season or there's no point trading a superstar. If these Philly rumours are true, oh baby... Luongo and Malhotra for Couturier and Coburn Sedin - Sedin - Burrows Higgins - Kesler - Booth Raymond - Couturier - Hansen Kassian - Lapierre - Weise Edler - Garrison Bieksa - Hamhuis Coburn - Tanev Ballard Alberts Schneider UFA goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The difference is Toronto can justify Luongo's salary, Philly has an overpaid Goalie already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
