Provost

How would we lose him? He was qualified and has no arbitration rights. To think that another team is going to offer sheet him is a little silly. He is nothing special and there are a bunch of unsigned guys out there better than him.

Luongo is still a top 10 goalie in the league... he will be the starter for Team Canada above the "so-called" tier 2 guys on that list.

Time go go after Weber via offer sheet....

I would far rather he take that approach than entirely change the culture of the organization for one kid. You earn your ice time. They have said that repeatedly and acted on it. They sat over $4 million in Ballard and veterans like Alberts while bringing up a kid on a two way contract (Tanev) to play instead. To undermine that and land a kid with no NHL experience is bound to blow up in your face. If he wanted to be on the team he would be. I think they went far enough to fly out to Toronto to meet with him.
