Blue & Green Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hard to read anything into that interview about his thoughts/feelings about his hockey future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Even if he does come back how can he mentally handle being number 1 in this market again. This is not going to turn out well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckdynasty Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Lets just be real fans and get behind him..if the City of Vancouver, the province of BC for that matter can not get behind him..we as fans have failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoolstuff Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 he holds all the power in this situation. And I believe after how he was treated he deserves the right to toy with us a little bit. He'll come back. He's just that classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 They said, after talking to him off the record, it's pretty clear he (Luongo) is not coming back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li'l Fra Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Luongo hasn't got much choice here. The contract sucks...he was there when it was signed. He can't fault Gillis for not being able to move the contract after Betttman's draconian, mean spirited rule change to long term contracts that were legal when signed. He's got to come play. I for one, hope I get a chance to Louuuuuu! real loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspberries Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Only way they get him back is if they tell him they can and will trade him before the deadline if he comes back. It's unlikely at best and in any event he's going to be gone anyway if he returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhopeless Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It's part of a GM's job to create a positive environment for a player, so he can play to the best of his abilities... that Gillis hasn't done this with Luongo is an understatement. If things go well there's no problem, but if they don't fans will claim he's not trying or wants out. This is a very difficult situation for him to be in.

Riviera82 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Maybe he's considering taking a year long vacation, voiding his contract, and signing somewhere he'd like better for less money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 they may as well promise to fly him to the moon. They cannot guarantee him a trade. Kind of how we got here to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 If Lou wants out of Van his only option is to come back and play lights out hockey. The CAP should recover next year which reduces the financial impact to acquiring teams. Yes, the desire to win is a hugh motivator for professional athletes. It does not change the reality that they have to make money in a short period of their working careers to secure their families future. I highly doubt that Lou will risk his Vancouver contract to satisfy some perceived slight by Vancouver management. Vancouver management had the responsibility to ice a team that they thought would win a CUP. It is the reason why they signed Lou to his contract in the first place. The term of that contract allowed them to sign even more quality players to make that CUP effort. That is why everyone was talking about 'home town discounts' on new contracts. No one was chirping at the time that any of these contracts were anything but gravy for the Canucks and the fans that cheer them on. The sad reality about life is that not everything progresses in a positive vein all the time. There are setbacks and both Lou and the Canucks are experiencing that right now. The economics of this situation will force a reconciliation. Lou has absolutely no choice and apparently neither do the Canucks as they were unable to move him.

Raspberries Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 well said. Half the people on here have been bashing him and saying he should suck it up. Why would he want to represent a city with such ungrateful and disrespectful scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
