spliced Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Both his and Neuvirth's contracts are so small I don't think Gillis would have a problem taking either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 ^agreed, Tampa seems like the most logical for a team no one expects. But who would the return be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just came across this article on twitter. http://espn.go.com/new-york/nhl/story/_/id/8869595/nino-niederreiter-seeks-traded-new-york-islanders-source-says Perhaps this is the team and player that nobody expected? Always liked the play of Niederreiter and believe he fits in well with the Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I've always thought NYI would be a good trading partner for Van. The Islanders are a 'have not team' and probably not buy out Dipi; whereas Van could waive/buy him out. NYI's are moving to a new arena and really need to make a splash to bring back theri fans. They have a great history with solid netminders, so maybe Lu is the guy for them. I'm pretty sure Lu would rather be on the east coast and closer to Fla. I like some of their prospects and roster players. Can you imagine having Oksposa on our 2nd? Booth Kesler Oksposa. Whoosh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Oksposa? Tough sell getting Luongo to waive his NTC for the Islanders. Then again, they originally drafted him, and it IS New York. Brooklyn would be a pretty sweet place to live/play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye Fruit Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Howson trying to move Mason...? Luongo Ballard Dubinsky Nikitin Savard 1st Ballard and Nikitin make this a cap sensible deal for Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFame Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I can assure you there is nothing on our end about Luo to Florida. It's all coming from your end. Theodore(NTC) is having a great start so we don't need to overpay for Luo. And general consensus with Florida is nobody wants him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yea when Gillis says "no one expects" it means you're the last team we'd trade to. Hope it's Chicago Loungo for Patrick Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerIce Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I was just wondering about this. Nobody has talked about the Stars. Dallas owner and Vancouverite Tom Gagliardi saw first hand how getting Luongo transformed the Canucks and gave them legitimacy. I doubt they'd let Benn go but maybe "the thing the other team has to do with another player" that MG was referring to was the Stars signing then trading Benn? Maybe we sweeten the pot somehow.

dirk diggler Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 In 2010-11, in addition to winning the Conn Smythe, Tim Thomas ran away with the Vezina (his 2nd one in 3 years). He was most certainly the best goalie in the league. Last season, Quick was runner-up for the Vezina, and probably would have won it if his team could have provided more goal support during the regular season. He was likely the best goalie in the league - at worst, 2nd-best. Contradictory post is contradictory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferlands_Head Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I honestly believe that people who still refer to players as "SNIPERS" are playing too much EA NHL. Reality, who cares if they are grinders or snipers? There are only a few legitimate Snipers in the NHL, and they are superstars and untouchable. Can you even name a sniper that can be acquired?
