cIutch Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 this does make things REALLY interesting! there are no clear number 1 goalies available now... I also don't see LA trading Bernier this offseason and Calgary seems to not want to rebuild so that'll take Kipper off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cIutch Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Skyrocket? Seriously? Vokoun, a career 0.917 goalie, was traded over for a 7th round pick. If the Caps could have gotten more for him, I'm sure they would've. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kassassin Train Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yea i am a bit shocked myself, I felt there was no way MG could swing the leverage on trading Luongo after Schneider is just the future for us. If we can get the 5th overall, and a roster D man MG pretty much has redeemed himself on any shotty trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMacNamedDre Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I watched almost every single game this year. Roberto Luongo is THE reason why we won the Presidents Trophy. He stole many games in which we won by only one goal between january and march. he's one of the best goalies in the league and his cap hit/contract is not that bad. Whether we keep him or Schneids Vancouver is in good shape in the crease. The least of our worries. Either guy should get us a good return.

bluesman60 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Lol, this ain't gonna happen. Schneider won't even fetch that much. We're talking about the next Adam Foote + a high pick that will likely turn out to be a star in the NHL. Those are prime assets and Luongo alone will surely NOT bring such assets back to Vancouver. Schenn alone is a possibility, though, and I would be happy with that return. Since entering the NHL, Schenn has perennially been among the top 20 players in hits. He's also right handed. He's the perfect example of a core piece the team could use and would look good on a pairing with Edler. Edler - Schenn Hamhuis - Bieksa Ballard - Tanev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbal23 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 MG has redeemed himself because of events that he had no control over took place? You make zero sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABurrows14 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Don't forget the possibility of Fleury being moved, 5 million cap-hit for his performance is looking pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noheart Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have not been on CDC for a few years. now that I am back I really cant believe how delusional everyone is. I left because I couldn't handle it and now it's like wow, oh yea. Luongo is.. even by his peers the most overrated goaltender in the NHL, His technical ability, style, puck handling, speed, rebound control, breakaway decision making are very average. (he could not EVER be a goalie coach for example) Statistically he is the lower half of all starting goalies in playoffs and regular season. these are numbers, not opinions people. People treat him like he is Hasek or Roy in prime, in reality he is not. he is a very average starter. I hate how people throw around the word "Elite". Elite to me... is future HHOF, or Vezina, Hart, ect. if Luongo retired today do you think he would be in the hall? How many Vezina wins? Hart? The fact that his worth is debatable should be enough for you Luongo Lovers to step back and really look into his past, or his black and white statistics. I really hope someone overpays Gillis for Luongo, I hope im wrong Just dont want all you passionate people to get your dreams shattered when the day comes.

Underachieving Hero of CDC Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Vokoun/Thomas's situations definately upped Luongo's trade value. People are still overrating him though imo and I think Gillis is going to be lucky to get a low first rounder out of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sampy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I think that's the media talking. I know for a fact that many leafs fans are willing to wait a little longer if it means they don't have to trade the farm. A quick fix with Luongo will not lead to long term success.

Noheart Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Luo career Reg Season 919% 2.52GAA Post Season 916% 2.53GAA Minus the Anahiem/ Dallas year (The last 4 years) he is .903% 2.97 GAA in the playoffs So on average we need 4 goals to win a playoff game with Luongo in net the past 4 seasons. Ya.. he is sooo Elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underachieving Hero of CDC Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Take it for what its worth: I just checked the leafs message boards and the general consensus among their fans is that Luongo is pretty much the only guy they can really go for now. Theyre not happy about it, but they seem resigned to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
