cmpunk Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Pierre Lebrun was on the team 1040 and said he spoke to one GM who he would not name, and said he is very interested in Luongo. But not his contract and he is hoping the Canucks buy him out so he could sign him right away. So this situation is interesting. MG is not going to get the deal he wants now for Lu for sure, and if he does happen to pull a trade but keeping some of Lu's salary, it will be the best case scenario now. But what do you think Lu would get signed for say the Canucks buy him out because a lot of teams will jump on him. And Pierre also mentioned he thinks Luongo is the best goalie out of all of the ones available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksFanMike Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Well then we would need to arrange a deal so that we retain a certain percentage of his salary then. Cause we definitely aren't buying him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmpunk Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 3 yrs $16 mil if Lu was a UFA? Same cap hit as now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brahma Bull Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 There is no chance in hell that we buyout Lu. That GM can keep dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 This garbage sounds like league-approved gm collusion to me. If such a player were on Boston or Chicago, the media would imply the return should be a windfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJDDawg Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm sure he is not actually waiting for a buy out and realistically expecting it. Just more of a mention of what media fans don't realize, teams want Lu just not his contract. If Lu was a UFA, you will have at least 5 teams going hard for him.

cmpunk Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Canucks won't buy him out, if they do in fact some how trade, it will be for not much at all in return and we would have to retain salary. Gillis screwed this all up. Becoming more evident everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdubuya Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Lus contract just isnt that bad. In a few years teams will be salivating over it, especially if they want to kill cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMBUTANS Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 This, among others should get this GM fired. But nooooo, he's still here. I'm sure Canucks won't win the cup with MG as GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
