ForsbergTheGreat Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Tampa and Washington have to be under a ton of pressure right now to do something. Gillis should be able to pull something off. I wouldn't mind seeing St. Louis come here, he'd be great on either of the top two lines. I know he has NTC but there have been rumors of him moving for some time, so he could waive it. Now go ahead and tell me he's too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 With Roy and Jagr trades done, Lu has to be on deck next. I'm calling NYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 If possible. I'd love to land a RHD (Gudbranson!!) for Lu. If not, I'd like us to land a young up-and-coming centreman, after Hank retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Totally. He just switched the dynamic of the team's immediate needs. It will really screw with the spin coming from the talking heads who won;t know how to get Lou to TO for nothing now. What do they have we need right now? Nothing. There's no fit. Lou is staying till the offseason IMHO unless that home run pitch becomes available. MG doesn't need to do it now. By waiting he opens himself up to getting that roster player, 1st and top prospect deal he has been seeking. Teams will be much more likely to move their 2104s too. Maybe NYI come out with a crazy offer for Lou today... could happen but I'm not holding my breath. I see this as a bit of a Keynesian philosophy... spend your assets now in the lean times and save them up in the fat times (the offseason). I don't mind if we mortgage the future as long as it's only for a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noheart Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 This just confirmed what MG has said from the very beginning, Luongo will be moved in the summer I expect he will replace the 2nd and prospect ++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Luo, Ballard, Ebbett. Cizikas, Streit, Nabokov, Pokka, 1st. As for the Leafs, if they want to offer Franson, Frattin, and a 1st... maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salo'sBomb Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Sekeres/Price talking about aquiring Zidlicky from the Devils for Luongo straight up 1 for 1 trade. It was just speculation but they're an interesting trading partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliboy Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 No, I think one of either Tampa, the Flyers, Washington or the NYI are going to cave and make a very good offer. We'll see. I'm responding to those who think he'll be here until the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The media seems to think 4 teams is impossible. I dont strike MG as a liar. There are enough teams that could use a Lu. TML TBL EDM NJ WAS FLA could all be slightly interested. People have mentioned PHI. Dont see how this is so hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
