Ill solve this little Luongos value fiasco. If we dont get something decent for him Gillis doesnt trade him and thats it.(even if he has to keep both goalies)

In that case they get kept to the deadline and then there values will both go up to someone desperate to make the playoffs and dont have a good goalie going into the playoffs

whether lou is worth a little or a lot his value certainly is not going down between now and then

Hasn't Schneider already said he doesn't want to sign a contract unless he knows he's going to play? Pretty sure he's already indicated he doesn't want to platoon. (If that's changed in the last few months I've obviously missed it.)

Look at the David Booth Trade,

FLA def took the loss to dump booth's contract and fairly LARGE salary on the Nucks.

So if we want to get rid of LU, we are not going to get the return that the fans want.

Realistically, im thinking that we are going to get back an over paid 2nd or 3rd line center or 3 or 4th calibre defenceman. (hopefully not lecavalier) and a second or third round pick.

If Gillis can work out a deal with Burke to aquire Luke Schenn and Toronto's Second pick for LU, a depth forward (Mayray RFA) or a prospect and a 2012 pick (2nd or 5th i guess), I couldnt be happier.

Of all the wishful thinking, bogus ideas and proposals with out actual cap facts or consideration I thought I would post a viable trade that might just work for both sides both financially and for each teams dynamic moving forward.

I propose;   Luongo for Matin St. Louis  straight accross.

Luongo cap hit is 5.3 million

St Louis cap hit is 5.6 million

Heres why,

We all know that Luongo's family resides in Florida so thats factor number one.  

Looking at Tampas cap situation was really interesting.  

Factor two,They have almost 26 million tied up in their top four forwards all with long term contracts.   They desperately need to move one of those.

Factor three is goaltending for Tampa.  They have three low tier goalies two of which are in contract years, the third is a questionable unproven back up.  Its clear that Tampa Bay's glaring hole is in goaltending.  GM Steve Y is deifinately nervouse at this point.....Locking up an elite CANADIAN goalie like Lungo long term would be just fine with him.

ST Louis is 35 years old but lets just look at his numbers for the last three years..

                                        2009-2010                            Tampa Bay Lightning                            NHL                            82                            29                            65                            94                            12                            |                                                                                                                                                                                                                          2010-2011                            Tampa Bay Lightning                            NHL                            82                            31                            68                            99                            12                            |                            Playoffs                            18                            10                            10                            20                            4                                            2011-2012                            Tampa Bay Lightning                            NHL                            77                            25                            49                            74                            16                            |                                                                                                                                                                                          

                  

so from 32 to 35  hes put up 267 points..... Lets compare this with...

Kesler

from 23 to 26 Kes put up 197 points.....

Ill take this trade all day long.....can you imagine adding St louis to second line with Booth and Kesler?

I think our scoring woes would be significantly less severe at this point with both sides addressing serious needs.

I always read these posts and I just have had enough with the dumb ideas. St Louis will not be traded before Malone. Put it this way if the canucks needed to get a goalie and we needed to trade one of our top 6 forwards. Would you trade Daniel(St Louis) or Booth(Malone)?

Yeah, he WAS a vezina finalist, just face it, he just sucks now, and will never return to the form he was years ago. Vinny's Contract is actually better, as he's averaged 80 points per season since the lockout, and will still be useful in the last years of his contract. Luongo will be a 5.33 mill backup

Yeah we are overstocked in front end and back end talent. A right handed D, prospects and picks is what we need. And that right handed D maybe not needed as we got some decent right handed D prospects that are only a season or two away from being called up.

I like Gillis's TO offer of 15 picks. It sounds a bit more fair.

Luongo

Raymond

Schroeder

2nd

Matthias

Gudbranson

Florida gets 2 forwards to bolster what they'll lose with Matthias, an interesting experiment in Raymond. Their star goaltender returns. They get a B chip prospect in Shroeder who has a high skill cap but needs years to develop, time Vancouver doesn't have with Gaunce already in the system.

Gudbranson is the meat of Luongo's value, and is what may be preventing this trade from happening.

Canucks get a foot taller, and 50 lbs heavier.

We lose Raymond who has been doing great but isn't what we'll need when Kesler is back, Mathhias has room to play and develop with Kassian and Hansen.

Gudbranson over Alberts doesn't even need words.

With Florida's situation is is easy to target these two players and accept we have to give them some depth in Raymond.

Sedin Sedin Burrows

Booth Kesler Kassian

Higgins Mathhias Hansen

Weise Lapierre 29

Hamhuis Bieksa

Edler Gudbranson

Garrison Tanev

Alberts
