Smashian Kassian Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well I'll give you credit for the mini symbols sir, but I have to disagree. I was working off the assumption, that with the Panthers losing 4 players to injury in tonight's game, that they might be open to acquiring a forward (raymond) and a D-man (Barker). I can't see Raymond staying once he reaches UFA, I mean we slashed his contract this past year, and before that he was operating on a 'bridge' contract, needless to say he can get 3m+ on the open market without a contract dispute. So I see him being a rental for Florida, and Barker helping them plug that void left by Kulikov's injury. Maybe we can get more, but I vehemently say no to getting Goc/Upshall/Bergenheim back, all fail contracts. Van: Bjugstad (that's right, I said it) Petrovic Clemmensen Fla: Luongo Raymond (they'll have a better chance resigning him) 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Calm down, they won and Schneider increased his trade worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Again, Florida doesn't want Luongo. But I know it's hard to get something like that in your head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckfan85 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 What's with Florida..what do they want to stock pile centers and lick at other positions? Will having 6 good centers make your goaltending better???? Weiss, Huberdeau, Shore, Matthias, Goc, Bjugstad. Is Markstrom going to play 65 games next year, how about the year after??? Gillis, take the freaking cap dump so we can end this circus- Gillis ur a drama queen. Or just move schneider already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertuzziJr 2.0 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Bjugstad or bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampy Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 IMO it's pretty obvious Lu doesn't want to go to TO. People can talk about Kadri all they want but Lu never waived his NTC. Florida and TB are the most likely destinations and both desperately need goaltending help. Lu, Shroeder, Connauton, Sweatt, 2nd For Bjustad, Weiss, Petrovic, Clemmensen Lu, Ballard, Connauton, 2nd For Hedman, Garon, capdump Lu, Shroeder >= Bjustad, Weiss Connauton, 2nd > Petrovic Sweatt = Clemmensen TB trade, all in for Hedman with Garon and capdump.

apollo Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Anyone making luongo to Florida proposals is INSANE. Insane to the point that u should be in an insane asylum. WHY WOULD LUONGO ACCEPT A TRADE TO THE LAST PLACE TEAM? especially when he has an opportunity to lead this team to a cup? He isn't going anywhere this season. Unless there is a serious contender involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Why? 1.) Family Ties 2.) Clear cut starter 3.) Less pressure 4.) Played there before 5.) It's Florida and not columbus or edmonton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertuzziJr 2.0 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 That's all great and maybe he would go if they were sitting anywhere from 1st to 6th... but they aren't. Luongo wants to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I'm not trying to say that I know what he's thinking but like most people I think he would accept a deal to Florida. If it were any other bottom feeder team you are probably right but this has been his ideal place since day one in this whole saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertuzziJr 2.0 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 If he wants go to Florida he will after this season. Luongo would have zero interest in leaving a cup contender right now for Florida who sits 29th iin the NHL. Even the luongo haters have to admit there's no chance of him waiving his ntc right now to join the panthers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 We are comparing Luongo to a 40 year old Brodeur, in otherwords well past his peak Brodeur. So if: Brodeur at 40 > Luongo last year/now Then I guess that in itself admits Luongo isn't as good as you think he is. LOL. Absolutely cracked me up, thanks for that one Oldnews. Really needed it after some of the readings I have seen around here recently. Actually I think that is pretty fair. Carlson is already a 2-3 defenseman with sky high potential, if we could get that I would take it and run, far away. It would help us a ton right now, then we could trade Ballard for that 3C we need and be on our way into the playoffs with a line-up that looks a little something like: Daniel - Henrik - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Kassian/Higgins Raymond - (3C) - Hansen Sestito - Lappy - Higgins/Kassian Schroeder, Pinnizzotto, Weise Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Carlson Garrison - Tanev Alberts, Barker Just imagine that, boy it really sucks Washington isn't likely interested, and sucks even more they wouldn't give up Carlson barring huge overpayment. Otherwise we would stacked even more-so going into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Can you please stop talking like you know exactly what he is thinking. When you say "he doesn't want to do this and he wants this" it makes it seem like you know him on a personal level. Also, just because someone is critical doesn't make them a "hater".

apollo Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Apollo has OCD when it comes to Lu. He seems to believe it his his calling to promote Lu at every post and shout down any thought of Lu leaving or anyone suggesting Lu may not be the sole reason for the Nucks existence/success. It's kind of creepy ...almost like a John Lennon - Mark Chapman thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I just know what's best for my team. You don't like luongo since u don't know anything about goaltending and the game in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockNroLLa. Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Does apollo think that Lu didnt know that Florida sucked in the first place? (oh wait he must think all Lu cares about is winning the cup ) In addition to that, why are they doing so bad? Its because their GOALIES suck..so common sense Lu would see things getting turned around.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
