theminister Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I would do any of those actually. The only one where the Canucks even really lose any significant amount of spots is the MTL one and even that is going to get two similar prospects for the price of one imo.

Down by the River Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I like how one of the things Gillis wanted in a coach was someone who can deal with the media. Yet, Gillis provides probably the worst interviews of any GM in the league. He never provides any information that isn't already out there. I'm not saying this is a good/bad strategy, I just think that if you are going to preach these qualities in a coach, you should probably practice these qualities yourself.

aGENT Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 If he is on waivers they know a buyout is coming. Why would any team take him for full pop when they can negotiate a better deal on July 5th? Luongo has made no secret he wants to go home. You don't think Tallon won't try for the ol' hometown discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 If he is put on waivers, isn't the rule that the Canucks pay for 1/2 of his salary, which would be approx $2.8 mill/yr based on his salary cap? You mean to tell me MG can't even get a team to take Lou if we ate up $1 -1.5 mill/yr on his contract? MG is going to get fleeced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolt Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Luongo has arguably the worst contract in the league. He is 34 and has almost 10 years left. No one will trade significant assets for him let alone trade a bag of pucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kesler'sselke Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 i dont mind trading down at all if this draft is as deep as they say it is. Just look at 2003 draft, by trading down from 24 to even lower first and high second round u can still get players like Perry, Weber, Bergeron, Eriksson.etc. As long as our scout can do a good job of scouting trading down could be a huge win for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampage Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 for f**k sake Gillis if you can't move Luongo move SCHNEIDER. We have to get something in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Luo WONT go on waivers. His NTC makes it his choice to go on waivers or go straight to buyout. He'd be crazy to allow waivers because he loses control of where he lands as well as loses the opportunity to make more $$ via buyout + new contract as FA.

Me_ Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 "We've had and still having lots of discussion with Luongo with multiple teams, which teams, I won't tell you, but we have active dialogue everyday" (load of BS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm not an anti Gillis guy by any means but this is embarrassing. There is no dialogue outside of the Canucks organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I don't know, trading down my not be the worst thing to do if we can get two picks early in the 30s. Looking at the order though, there isn't a team that currently fits that bill. ( Sorry, wrong, Mtl at 34th and 36th) I would flip our 24th for CBJ's 27th and 44th though. That would make sense for us. Maybe with Dallas at 29th and 40th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 If Morrissey isn't available, I would do the Columbus deal in a heartbeat and select Klimchuk with the 27th and Jacob de-la-Rose or Justin Bailey with the 44th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
