theminister Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 And what prediction is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerdraft Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Schneider had a panic attack. Luongo finished the game for him. You're referencing a one-time, extremely low probability event for your point on the merits of keeping both goalies for the playoffs? Please remind me - how many goals did we score against Boston, again? Over a full 7 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfruits Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Sorry, Lu isn't a "panic" acquisition. He's signed until 2022, in case you've forgotten. Not exactly a Martin Rucinsky/Geoff Sanderson situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Stop adding me in this proposal, as it was never mine and I never said it was a fair deal. And I have told you this many times, atleast 3-5 times before. So just stop. My proposal's have been: Luongo for Kadri, Bozak, 2nd Luongo for Frattin, Finn, 1st Both of which are fair or close to it value wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I made sure to make that prediction prior to the season starting, actually. Is that right? How strange! Doesn't everybody want him, though? Shouldn't there be a bidding war? What's the hold up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 The point is, smarter hockey minds than you don't think these are mistakes (otherwise you'd be sitting with your feet up in some NHL GM's office with a cigar in your mouth and some "dumb" current GM would be on here typing posts instead). If it weren't for Willie Mitchell's multiple concussons, he would've also been on one of those 4-5year/$14-$17.5m contracts. Was that also a mistake by Dean Lombardi (2 years, plus two year extension)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Apparently you feel Kadri is no longer available - is the same now true of Frattin who is probably outperforming Kadri at this point? I understand why you'd want Frattin - but why Finn? I'd much rather have a player like Petrovic personally, but are you looking at Finn thinking we haven't drafted a blueliner in the higher rounds for a few years, or do you see something special about the guy?

King of the ES Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 That Lou's value would drop sitting on the bench. It has not and it will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfruits Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Not sure what you're really trying to say here. Gillis values Garrison at the contract that he offered him. Someone else alluded to the fact that Detroit & Philadelphia were prepared to offer him more money - OK, fine. I would also venture a guess that there were more than a couple of GMs who think the contract's crazy. These differing opinions are what makes a vibrant UFA market. A lot of people on this board think that Wideman's contract is crazy. Feaster would clearly disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 wait til ownership says we need to make money and in order to do that we need to make the playoffs also especially in florida a team that isn't drawing a lot of people luongo will change that right away and could give them sellouts every night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 And no, who said everyone wanted him, teams do want him but simply can't part with what we need to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfruits Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 ... The name's Luongo, not Bieber. Quite frankly, you're dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlsson`s Flo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 "Can't", or "don't want to". Think about it. They can, they just don't want to, because they're just not that interested. They're not compelled to act. This is what you need to come to grips with. The interest just isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truckin Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Was watching CTV and they had a interesting interview with Lou and Schneider. Lou was presenting a angle that #1 was always there to be fought over well Schneider was coming off a little upset about not starting. Saying he negotiated in good faith but always felt something like this could happen. I would link it if I could find it. Anyone else catch that? I swear Schneiders body language and the words he chose made me feel like he was going out the door instead. Be cool to see other peoples reactions to it.

King of the ES Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 not just people on the board its known league wide Wideman's contract is a bad contract especially when you take into account the flames already have another awful contract in Bouwmeester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 There were only 9 defensemen in the NHL last year with more points than Dennis Wideman. I have no idea why people keep going on and on about how awful Wideman's contract is, yet simultaneously going on and on about how wonderful Garrison's is.
