King of the ES Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 this is his agent speaking not schneider ok do people not get this schneider will continue to support luongo just as luongo would do the same they both knew this could happen having them both stay on until the offseason and that is what's going to happen unless some team panics its about the team not the individual both of them know this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eretz canucks Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I don't understand why none of the teams who were interested in Luongo, are now, not offering anything. With the way, Luongo has been playing, I don't understand why teams aren't knocking at Gillis' door asking what he wants for Lu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eretz canucks Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 and where is Columbus in all this? They need goaltending desperately...maybe Luongo has said no to CBJ and maybe he will only go to Florida. Theodore and Clemensen have already proven they cannot do the job, so if Tallon wanted luongo it would have been done by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 How do u know that?? Schneids has big shoes to fill if Lu goes, believe it or not. Any argument supporting Schneids is 100% assumption. He is a good goalie for sure, dont want to take that away from him, but does he have the potential to be better than Luongo?

Boudrias Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 GM's and owners.........Bergevin and Pk, Col and O'Reilly, Lu/Schneids and MG (not as much obviously)...........the GM's and owners are letting players know it's their game and they have the lion's share of the power.......imo anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Good question- the contract got one, but when he retires the team is off the hook- so is the contract truly that bad? Gillis could also offer to pay some of it to facilitate a trade- and not sure why he isn't. Please note that he happily accepted steve reinhprect's 2million dollar salary in the booth trade. Have the aquilini's lost money and ate putting pressure on Gillis to move Lu and not Schneider? Gillis is "asking too much" for Lu - but the guy is an all star so what gives?

smurf47 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 "Agent" is another word for representation. Liut's words represent Schneider's sentiment, like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurf47 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 "We are only interested in resolution, we are not going to get into the finger-pointing game and to that end you have to take a step back and you have to give them latitude to make a business decision." Read more: http://www.vancouver...l#ixzz2K06tfWXa Hey Mike... That IS pointing fingers. Trade Schneider. If he's going to pull a Hodgson, it ain't gonne be pretty. Luongo is signed for the rest of his career. If you need more convinving concerning the matter, look at the Oilers' sound bites on Luongo. Watch the games, and see for yourself. Luongo held the Canucks in until Bieksa scored. then it was open game. Tanev gets his first. Trade Schneider and get the returns of veteran winning players who will help the team get over the playoff hunch; secondary scoring, toughness and a never quit attitude. Keep Luongo.

smurf47 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 tough task to be better than luongo one of the best all-time, but what schneids does do is allow the canucks to have solid goaltending for the next decade. If they trade schneider (hypothetical) and lack doesnt become the goalie we all think he can be, where does that leave the canucks in 4years? right where edmonton or florida are now searching for a quality goalie the most important position on any team. to me that is the biggest pro for keeping schneider, the two are very close right now but schneider allows the team stability moving forward.

Drive-By Body Pierce Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Different CBA. He can't hide salary in the minors like that. Also, he said that in some of the cases, the useless plug coming back had term left on his contract which would entirely screw us next year when the cap dropped significantly. Unless we get a decent return, we are better off waiving Luongo than taking back useless salary in return. I really think it is not too much to ask for a solid 3rd line player, a blue chip prospect (like Bjugstad), and a pick. I return a team gets a goalie that is ranked somewhere between top 5 or top 10 in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 ffs. You look for every excuse to keep Luongo. Schneider is staying. Luongo is going. Just accept it please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 No its not lol. If Schneider himself said he was getting impatient then so be it. But this is his agent's opinion, like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_Element Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 How do you know they aren't 'knocking' at his door. No matter what McPhee says I am sure he has talked about Lou to Gillis. He wouldn't be doing his job otherwise. These guys aren't talking about what is discussed behind closed doors. I am sure it is well known through the other 29 teams what Gillis is asking for Lou. Every game Lou plays, and wins, the more comformation of his worth in the hockey world. For most of these teams it is a hockey decision. Many rule it out because of CAP but also time lines don't jive for others. Some are influenced by markets which take the decision process away froma pure hockey deal. The Minny GM said he made the Suter/Parise deals because his market was starting to deteriorate from losing for so long. His gamble was that these two players would bring him a winning team and franchise viability. Inevitably a trade partner will determine that Lou brings them an option that they can deal with Gillis over. Again, I am predicting a deal by the end of next week.

86Viking Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 And the Canucks said this wouldn't be come a distraction... Well with playing Luongo in 4 straight games, maybe a 5th?? After schneider really has played quite well besides opening night, how long did management think it would take for comments to come out like Schneiders agent said? This has been a distraction to the team since training camp started, regardless of what MG says, Everyone on the team gets asked every day whats going on with the goaltending situation, thats not a distraction?? Damn right its a distraction, and the longer it goes on the more upset one of the goalies who isnt playing will get and it could turn out bad with them forcing a trade, which then severely diminishes their value if its Luongo or Schneider. if its not for our goaltending recently our record would be far worse, we need offensive depth even when we have booth and kesler back.The line juggling last night just showed how poor our depth is now. kassian has to be on the top line or hes what a 3rd or 4th line tweener? Its jjust gonna be mroe of a distraction the longer this goes on, especially when 1 goalie keeps getting all the starts, its no secret if the roles were reversed and Luongo was sitting he wouldnt be too happy either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hockeyyinsiderr has weighed in.... Hockeyy Insiderr@HockeyyInsiderr Names mentioned by #Canucks as possible return for Luongo: pick+Neuvirth+ 1 of following: Brouwer/Kuznetsov/Green/Alzner/Forsberg Make that 2-3 of the following and I'll take the trade (have enough d-men, so bring in some talented forwards)... Luongo, Raymond, Malhotra, Rai and a conditional pick for Neuvirth, rights to Kuznetsov, Brower, Laich and Forsberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
