dorrcoq Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 What good is a better return if you have to then play the next 5-10 years with a lesser, aging goalie? Give your head a shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm sure this has already been beaten to death in the other Luongo/Schneider threads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onions Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Simply, the Canucks would get a better return for Schneider than Luongo right now. Even if the team frees up Luongo's cap space, a bulk of that will go into Schneider's new contract. The Canucks' window of opportunity depends on how long the Sedins can play at the level they're playing. It's the lack of offense and defense that let Luongo down. Even with Schneider, this team just did nothing better to win. The Canucks have had phenomenal goaltending with no offense when Luongo first got here, and it didn't work out. If Luongo wants out though, it's obviously his decision, and who could blame him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It would also make it harder to sign Free Agents, since they won't want to be run out of town too. Keep Lu, MG would be foolish to trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorrcoq Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Funny how you try and insult people by calling them "Lu fanboys", when I could just as easily call you a Schneider fanboy... It's not about being a Luongo supporter, or a Schneider supporter, it's about which goalie gives us the better chance of winning going forward. And my belief is that goalie is still Luongo. Unless you have a crystal ball you can't tell me I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The fact that the coaching staff went with Cory for three straight games proves who they think gives them the best shot at winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotesMagotes Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Mike gillis is going to see what he could get for both goalies and then see what gives him the best value. Period. He hasnt chosen one goalie over the other yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanev's Smirk Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm tired of watching lu try to make saves from his belly. Time after time ive seen him do this and it frustrating. It's time for all of us to move on and start a new chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 this playoff proved that nux can't win with either goalie. The problem is not goal tending. So the logical thing is to see which trade will result in a better team. Cory likely gets a better return due lower cap hit, age. So maybe MG will trade him instead. Lui might stay as long he is the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangelos Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 My liver can't handle all the shots I take when Luongo belly flops so I'd rather keep Schneider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 No, it proves that we were in a 2-0 hole and that the team needed a spark. But go ahead and jump to conclusions like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanev's Smirk Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 A spark would have been playing Cory in game 3...playing him in 4 and 5 - both elimination games - sent a stronger message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onions Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Well if I'm right, how would I be delusional? Kind of a contradiction. Nobody can tell me that Luongo wouldn't give us a better chance of winning in the future, because nobody really knows. That's why there's this debate going on. If Schneider was the obvious choice, it would be an easy decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 To me its not about Cory, its about the team. Honestly I dont watch hockey to watch goalies. I know they are a part of it but in no way is my focus is on Cory for some idolising reason. I dont have a a crystal ball, but I can assure you I watched every single game this team has played for many years. From the previous three playoff series, I have seen that Lu can be great and he can be horrible (Also the fact that we will see both sides of him in any given playoff). This is not stable goaltending, and we NEED stable goaltending. Cory is level and not just that he is great at what he does too, and he is also emotionally stable for this market. If we couldnt win with him last year, we will never win with him, think about it logically please! People say we couldnt score a goal in the finals but that still doesnt make up for such blowout losses while we were exchanging shots with Boston and at times clearly outshooting them and out chancing them. I can go on and on about why Cory would be the better option, honestly but I just think if for a second you could let go of the attachment with Lu (which will be very tough to do) you will clearly see what we have in Cory is so unbelieveable...its a blessing, he is going to be incredible, just watch. We have landed on a gold mine, for real!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
