[Discussion] Roberto Luongo Trade Thread 6.0


Recommended Posts

Ok. Let's continue...

Luo's old, nobody wants him, and he has a bad contract. And besides, he's the best goalie we ever had - and he gives us a reasonable chance to win for the next 6 years....

Schneider is younger, cheaper, and will get us a better return. But he's better than Luongo. But he's an unknown. He may crumble without Luo behind him. It reminds me of "The Bear" when the youngster stood up to the cougar, but didn't realize that the Bear was behind him, had his back.

Returns are all that matters.

But there's no goaltender market. Keep both guys if there's no goaltender market.

But we should trade a goaltender, the one that MG trades, for the guys that MG trades him for, because why have a starter on the bench? Unless one gets injured....

It's simple really. What the hell is MG thinking?

I'll try to get us to 7.0 with some Lueezy E

Woke up quick at about noon

Just thought that I had to be at Rogers soon

Gotta get the net back in case I stay

Or else my wife will keep skypin bout where I play

Bout to go and damn near went blind

Young kids on the street throwin up three-fives

Ran in the house and grabbed some sticks

With the sharpie pen on the side of my hip

Schneider is better, has more potential. Hasn't been given the opportunity to take the No. 1 with full reigns.

Lu will have to move on. He's a great goaltender, but his lack of postseason success is alarming. He always seems to play well during the regular season, but collapses during the postseason. I think Schneider, given some time, will be more consistent with his play, more confident with his movements. Luongo is great, but it's time to look for a cheaper goaltender, younger, and more potential. we have all of that in Schneids.

I have asked this over and over but can someone please explain to me where this more value comes from? Yes it makes sense, cory's contact and age should provide a bigger return, but there is no goalie market. Which team can provide the assets and would make sense for them to trade? I'm yet to hear a reasonable argument for this.

You do realize that every team has a goalie in there system that they think in the next great goalie. Flames thought this with Irivin, now they've moved on to Ramo, Florida has Markstom, TB has vasilevsky, TOR had reimer, not saying all these goalie wont turn out but just because they play good in their current leagues means nothing till they can prove in the NHL. Until we see Lack or even Cannata play they shouldn't be relied our hope in replacing Luongo.

Because CDC says so...

It is very important when rebuilding, to trade away your high picks and your best prospects. It is a must. And hopefully, you trade them for a guy who will play 5-6 years in the NHL and who has an amazingly long contract.

That's how it works; CDC says so.

Drove to the arena and hit the showers

Didn't even get no cheers from the cowards

Cause just yesterday them fools tried to trade me

Saw the trainers and they rolled right past me

No flexin, didn't even look in a back-up's direction

As I tipped the deflection

Went to Juice's house, they was watchin That's Hockey 2Nite

What's the right way to fight

Punch em up, punch em up, punch em up, punch em

Roll em in a circle of zebras and watch me smack em

With the seven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven

Seven even back door lil Lou

Even though he played like poo

Then he was sat by Bones,

And now I am yelling "Draft Jones!"

Plus nobody I know got shelled in the net in R.A.

Today was a good day

Because you put such a sick effort into the ice cube song, minister, here's a doozy. It's mean I know, I love Lu but its just a joke. Put on some Kim Mitchell and sing along

Luongo Lanterns

Their house had the biggest goal lights

Their house had all my summer shame

They had Luongo lanterns

I'd spent half the night on tsnKoolaid

Which I drank alot

Cuz we were all so shy

Shy and nervous

Who was gonna be

Who would be the first to score

Who was gonna be

who would be the first Rome hits

Oh those luongo lanterns

Those Luongo lanterns

They were the stars in my sky

Those luongo lanterns

Ruining my liiiiiife

Those luongo lanterns

They were the stars in my sky

Those luongo lanterns

Lighting up 8 Tiiiiiiimes

Oh those luongo lanterns

And I was stuck on Tim

That was his name

I shouldn't of talked much

Cus he kept it reaaal

I was a nervous booooy

Timmy stuck to pucks like glue on gluuuue

Dancing to an old song

Bobby "vintage" Lu is on gluuuue

Heartache on heartache...
