babalu Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 To Van: Luongo To Florida: Markstrom Gives us a better mentor for Demko. Fan fav can retire a Canuck and be put on LTIR when he develops an equipment allergy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 As much as I love Lu, I'm pretty sure this is a bad idea. He's far better than our current netminders based on his recent performance, but he's oft-injured and if he's injured and we have to go with Nilsson, we're gonna be in rough for a bit. On top of that, he's over $2M more than Markstrom and for longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, he's over $2M more than Markstrom and for longer. My proposal (half joke - half proposal) would also include unloading Nilsson for a bag of pucks so Lu can mentor Demko. I realise it's not very realistic but honestly think Lu is still better than Marky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 5.3 cap for a backup in a couple years? Nah. He's close to home, leave him be. Let him play out his career in peace. We wronged him enough for one career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Florida's trying to make the playoffs this year. Trading Luongo kills that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
