Hopefully if Washington is his destination, we get some of (NOT ALL) of the following players.

Kuznetsov/Forsberg/Brouwer/Johansson/Carlson/Alzner.

Any of those players would be nice to acquire through trade for Luo. Of course we need a back up goalie as well. Wonder if a trade would include Holtby or Neuvirth?

Not a chance would I want that contract for what I would cost to acquire it. Sure he's good when he wants to be but he is very one dimensional and if he's not scoring 60 goals every year he's not worth it.

I'd have no problem trading huge package for Crosby or Malkin, but hell no for ovi. I just don't trust him to put up 60 goals a year.

I don't understand why people want D-men or borderline top-6 players in return for Lu. The Canucks D is deep, and we have way too many borderline top-6ers (Raymond, Booth, Kassian, Schroeder). If we're trying to win a cup in the next couple years, I think we need a bonafide top-6 winger. IMO nothing else is really worth losing a star goalie for. If we can't get that in return for Luongo, maybe we should look at moving Schneider?

I know some people will say we should be looking for quality prospects here, but we're trying to follow the Detroit model, which is based on good drafting - NOT shipping off star players for unproven prospects.

I don't want Kuznetsov on the Canucks though. Who knows if he'll actually come to play in the NHL..

Troy Brouwer will play a big role in the bottom 9 and he's from Vancouver, so I would love to have him. Tom Wilson/Marcus Johanssen as a big power prospect would be great as well. I'm not denying that Kuznetsov will be good, but Tom Wilson or Marcus Johanssen might be our best bet.

Forsberg isn't a big player. He's a small skilled winger. So he doesn't really help with size.

If we want a skilled winger, Kuznetsov is their most elite forward prospect. If we want a two way forward, Johanssen is their best young two way forward.

On D, if we could get Carlsson from him, that would be unreal. Everyone on here seemed to clamour over Jake Gardiner, well Carlsson is way better than Gardiner. He could be a future top 4 for us. He would allow us to trade Ballard in the offseason.
