sampy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 “@botchford: Luongo to cox: "are you here scouting for the leafs?"” Haha Luongo is awesome. Cox is an idiot, had nothing to say in reponse. For those that don't know, Cox was saying Canucks are not getting anything for Lu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlerberry Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I thought that starting Luongo tonight against Colorado was show casing him ,again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 This thread is at an all time low. Too many of you overvalue Canuck players. It's really hard to read, and my face is red with all the face palms I've done. So... Screw you guys, I'm going home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justvisiting Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I find it laughable they Tallon won't part with a college player for an all star netminder who ACTUALLY WANTS TO PLAY IN FLORIDA- the guy is a joke. Luongo would instantly inject excitement into that franchise. Not to mention he would play his G D heart out for them. Tallon doesn't get it.

TmanVan Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If it's Florida and say that Tallon wants to wait until they are healthier to gauge where they're at, what if they're completely out of it by then and in a position to draft #1 overall? Would Seth Jones make Gudbranson slightly more available (even more so since there have already been reports that relationship was strained early on and the suspension might only have exacerbated things)?

D-Money Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 My guess is MG and DT will eventually compromise, with MG taking one of these guys on to go with Nick Bjugstad and Scott Clemmensen when it is all said and done. Pick your poison but I'd go with Upshall just for some extra jam in the playoffs. Buy him out in the summer if it doesn't work. Ultimately we are going to have to rely on guys who are already here and hopefully that means players like Kesler stop flopping around. Our second line needs to focus on scoring and get offensive production from guys who are actually paid to score goals (Booth, Kes, Burr) I don't see a Top 6 coming back for Lou if Gillis is looking for a strong prospect. I'd also be very happy with Lou for Bjugstad, Upshall and Clemmensen, but my guess is Florida needs to continue to tank a bit more before this happens. The Panthers have to continue to struggle before DT will start feeling some heat from ownership, and hopefully that will lead to both teams reaching an agreement and pulling the trigger.

D-Money Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm pretty sure Tallon gets it, it's the Panthers empty pockets that don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Here's a better idea. Waive Raymond, Manlhotra, and Ebett and keep Schneider and Luongo. 4 million cap for Schneider is nothing when we pay these 3 plugs 5 and a half million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Here is Thomas Drance's (Canucks Army) article on the Lu saga. Good Read. http://canucksarmy.com/2013/1/31/the-potential-roberto-luongo-trade-an-update Gagner and Paajarvi would be a very tempting return from Edmonton despite the divisional rival. IMO it's been Florida the entire time due to Lu's NTC. Gillis is trying to get Talllon to increase his offer. If trading Lu means no return and Schneider can get a big return, IMO Gillis should keep Lu. Every playoff series lost was to a better healthier team. Experience counts for a lot. I'm happy with Lu in net but I do think Schneider is the better goalie and should only be traded if a star player is coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeria Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 after last night's choke to LA it looks as though Lu is past his "best before" date so that means his price is going down!! Has he actually recorded a win this season? Don't think so. I am very surprised he is suited up if Gillis is serious about trading/dumping him!! Injuries to Lu could very well be a double edged sword to this team!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I've been banned for the last little bit, but needed to quickly thank oldnews - who else - for providing some comedy in my absence. Dale Wiese and Kevin Connauton for Cal Clutterbuck? Really? One of the funnier proposals that I've seen in recent memory, and that's coming from a guy who already suggested Coburn, Couturier, and Simmonds for Luongo.

MonkeyBusiness Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Don't want Lu to go anywhere. Keep him I say, KEEP HIM. I know reality says this will likely not happen, I am not dumb. The media has done a great job of turning people into rapid clueless and ungrateful fans. Sorry, not trying to say you are all clueless, but you know who you are.

TmanVan Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Although the team may run at a loss, the corporation that owns the team and runs the arena has been fairly profitable. Now, with increased revenue sharing, the losses on the HRR side will be offset further, making them even more profitable. Of course, increased ticket sales, merchandise, and playoff revenue due to acquiring a franchise goaltender with a long history in the area could increase profits even further.
