Luongo Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 simple fact is: we didn't have the assets / prospects to make a big splash. period. For those of you wondering about the cap hit: if there was no possibility of signing anyone else anyways, who cares about his cap hit. And nobody was giving up much for Luongo cause the cap is going down next year. Same this summer. If only Lu had outplayed Schneider... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The press conference that will be really interesting is the one where Raymond, Ballard and a 1st talk about not being traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 You can calm down any time starting now. This is uncalled for. As for Luongo, I see him relieve Schneider somewhere in the playoffs like he did wih Brodeur. The Canucks are going to win the Cup. Sometimes, the best deal is no deal and that's one of those deals.

CrazyAL Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Lu shouldn't have been so greedy and made brutal contract demands. He wanted that contract, he can suffer the repercussions. I'm sure Gillis would have been happy to sign him to something like $5-6M a year for 5 years. He's the one that made the rediculous demands, now he's paying the price.

Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Calm down. No need for that! We all know the only reason you are pushing "calmness" is because the second love of your life (behind Apollo) is Lu. Him staying for now has made your season. After all that has ahappened here and Lu being dragged through the media mud the last year, anyone who really cares about him as a person and player would be wishing for a trade that sees him go somewhere where he can shine and get a fresh start. That you are happy he is sitll here is confirmation that this is about you and your ego not that you care about Lu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
