Dragonfruits Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The reason they didn't sweep us was because of luongo... yet most fans just blamed him cuz they don't know crap about hockey and only saw the scoreboard and there's no easier player to blame than the goalie.

MC Fatigue Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 ...the article in the OP talks about Luongo's positive/negative traits relating to the 2011 Stanley Cup Final series vs. the Bruins? I thought the OP was more or less about MG/Nonis trade talks and the resulting leaks of what transpired? edit: /topic/342432-discussion-roberto-luongo-trade-thread-70/page__pid__11286464__st__1020#entry11286464">http://forum.canucks.com/topic/342432-discussion-roberto-luongo-trade-thread-70/page__pid__11286464__st__1020#entry11286464 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANGO Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It' s quite likely TML will face Boston in the first round of the playoffs and will get bounced out. As far as I am concerned Nonis f***ed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navyblue Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The article makes sense. Gillis said he would only make the trade if it made the team better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I thought the suggested trade info was a little odd, it didn't make sense. I suppose it does make sense that Nonis was negotiating in bad faith, and that Dreger's sources has an agenda of some sort. The agenda being damaging Luongo's trade value in hopes he'll go for less. I just hope he doesn't end up in Toronto, in fact I hope he ends up going to one of their rivals so he can help that team beat them into the ground.

westcoast Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 They might have asked for that if they had another trade in place for a big ticket and wanted to quickly move Luongo to fit the other contract in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combover Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Dave Nonis negotiating in bad faith. frack you Nonis. Wether its true or not, your not suppose to disclose what was mentioned, especially to someone like Dregger. Karma will hit Dave Nonis. Derren Dregger now changing the story around from saying MIke Gillis would have never asked for 2 draft picks and Scrivens for Luongo. What a Clown. This came 5 days after 1040 reported the opposite happening. People are starting to believe that MIke Gillis will never give up Luongo for 2 2nds and one unproven goalie. Making Dreggers story look as stupid as he looks. Also if it was true, oh gosh, Dave Nonis you deserve to be canned. Luongo was almost his for a pretty low price. Tyler Biggs will be nothing but a 4th line player, the same with Colburne too. I will love to see Mike Gillis trade him during the summer. I hope its to their division, so he (Luongo) can haunt the Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 "......you know, [he] didn't mean what he said.” GM Mike Gillis re: AV commenting on Luongo http://www.vancouver...0236/story.html Asked about whether or not he was ever asked to waive his no trade clause, Roberto Luongo denied it: "I was never approached with a trade somewhere else and I said no." Elaborating on this point he insisted that "nothing ever really materialized to the point where I had to make a decision about whether to waive or not." Was Luongo ever asked to waive his NTC? Gillis: There have been discussions in the past, yes." http://canucksarmy.c...-contract-sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 You will note Gillis never said he asked Luo to waive his no trade clause but said " Yes" when asked if he did. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthNinja Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Schneids, Eddie, Mike Brown, Hansen, Bourdon, Grabner were all Nonis picks. They eclipse the 2 yucky picks he had a bit later. The Lu trade for Bert/Auld is arguably his hallmark fingerprint with the Canucks. So no, Nonis is fine in those departments. Aside from the conspiricy theories and conjecture from Torontocenntric sport writers/journalists. There is some truth underneath it all. The fact is Lu is worth much more than what is reported, but the length is what lesser GMs without a team of capologists will be hesitant with. You could infer that Lu is upset with Nonis for not making a good Hockey trade. Both GMs for a variety of reasons, imagined by the media, and real in some respects could not carve out a deal that works for both involved. This probably be a more notable story had MG not landed Roy. If Reimer goes sideways, sentiment will turn on Nonis. Probably unfairly, depending who will be writing about it.
