Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Lol alright, you don't have to care what he thinks, cause your opinion doesn't matter to him. Your not the GM, he is. And it seems Luongo is going and its for the better of all parties involved. He is going to make a deal when the stars align the fact that he has already been extremely close to a deal brings some comfort to the situation actually, in that we know it isn't completely dead.

Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I was almost thinking they were close because there hasn't been much talk about it lately. Gillis seems to keep his deals low key and surprise ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 So uh, how about this SamJam character. Talking about how Luongo almost went to Philadelphia at beginning of this season. Have we decided if he knows what he's talking about? With Theodores injury, if they don't make a move for Luongo now - I can't imagine they ever will. Bjugstad or bust.

RunningWild Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hoping for a Florida win today because would put them 4 points out of 3rd, but after 1 they are down 2-0, with Clemmenson allowing 2 goals on 9 shots, and the Canes scoriing both goals within a minute late in the 1st.

Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 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...

Pears Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ok we'll see. Luongo has a no trade clause. He won't go to Florida to spend the rest of the year golfing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Actually, Florida is just 6 points out of a playoff spot. So if Luongo is traded there and continues to play like he is here for the Panthers he will more than likely get them into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BertuzziJr 2.0 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 They aren't a cup contender. If luongo is traded this year u can call me a moron or w.e u want. For now I'm saying everyone that thinks he'll go there this season is an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 He won't be. He will be spending time with his family. Oh and he plays poker, he doesn't golf. Of anyone I would expect you to know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 SmashianKassian, Luongo is actually outplaying Schneider and he also has an NTC and has said he'd love to go back to Florida. Either than that, a calm wind blows in dust but nothing more. No one in this new CBA wants to take on this anchor of a contract even though the player under said contract is in fact a superstar. This contract is sticking like molasses to the Canucks organization and I for one am glad for it. Schneider's a good kid. But for him to come in at 26 years old and think he'll dethrone a franchise goaltender by right alone, well, I guess he gets it by now, he'll have to outplay Luongo and he hasn't so far. Schneider's contract on the other hand is a perfectly tradable contract. In fact, ever so tradable that the returns potentially greatly outshine that of a Luongo return. Now the difference between Luongo's and Schneider's game is so minimal, yet the returns for each goaltender would differ so greatly, that a Schneider trade make a whole lot more sense for this franchise than and Luongo trade. Some teams will be on the verge of missing the playoffs and pay a ranson while some teams will be missing the playoffs and will unload sound veteran help for such a piece as a goaltender of Schneider stature; that which can help this franchise win a Cup. I cannot say what type of returns Schneider could get as immediate help, but it sure as heck more than mere rookies and picks, while this is exactly what Luongo would garner as returns. Now if the Canucks were as great as the current Oilers or Flames, then I would have difficulty arguing keeping Luongo. But te Vancouver Canucks are swimming with the likes of Chicago and Boston; one of the best team in the NHL, but it needs ever slight help, the type of help that will put this team on top once again. For Luongo, it's Vancouver or Florida. So far, he's playing some of the best hockey of his career and making it very hard on Schneider to take over. If Schneider cannot handle such adversity, then there's your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
