Katobaron Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Not even close. It was the 2nd worst trade in franchise history and Gillis absolutely needs to be fired for making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5Fivehole0 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Wouldn't have traded him for any less than Kadri + a solid backup who could play in the playoffs if Luongo had yet another meltdown. Otherwise, I'd have had no issue buying out Luongo and being free of that awful contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Awful contract to trade... Not an awful contract to have... Elite Goalie at 5.3M... Not a bad cap hit. Front loaded with him making 1M/year in his last 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksBruins Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 At least try to waive him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Not an elite goalie when he can't consistently play at an NHL caliber in the playoffs/ We'll be eating that cap recapture long after he's capable of being a starter on even a bad team. At least try to waive him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Bo Horvat. No way was it some Russian who would've gone to the KHL if he didn't get a spot in the NHL right away. You have to earn your spot, you have to work hard for it, can't expect stuff to be handed to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 As much as Canucks fans need to know which was the right pick, or who won a trade right away, only time will tell. No one can say if either was the better pick at this point. For all we know the best pick could have been Josh Morrisey at number 13. It's too early to tell. If picks always stayed at their value when they're drafted, people would still be saying Filatov was a better pick than Hodgson. Horvat may never be the most offensive player we could have picked, but he brings things this team needs. So therefore he was the right pick for us. Time will tell if he can develop into the player we hope he can in our system. Now it's up to him and the Canucks developmental staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Assuming Lu doesn't want to play in Van too much longer. -Imagine he has a great season. -Imagine the cap goes up significantly.(70 mill, or so) Imagine we lose Booth's contract. They could probably do a Lu-deal, where we cover 2 mill, for 4 or 5 seasons(starting 2014-15). Mainly because all Van contracts are such reasonable cap hits, we can handle giving up 2 mill in cap. If we get good prospects for both Schneids & Lu, Gillis' patience will have been a great attribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Lombardi 18 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 After reading a few posts in this thread, I can't help but reply to the specific posts about the possibility of 'waiving' Luongo. Those people are sniffing glue and need to stop. Why would you put your franchise goalie (who btw is a leader in a number of stats) on WAIVERS? Are you serious? Also, I believe Luongo has a NMC (no movement clause), so putting him on waivers is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
