Assuming Luongo is traded...

It depends upon whether Gillis wants to upgrade his draft position *this* year. If Luongo (or Schneider) hasn't been traded by the 10th overall (TB) pick then he won't be traded until after the draft.

Gillis likely won't be looking to get #1 picks for next year in this deal, unless they are a throw-in by the other team, as their potential value will go down with the acquisition of Luongo (or Schneider).

regards,

G.

Honestly the longer this goes on the worse it is for the Canucks, media will just keep on this, also if we let Schneider open to offers then we're stepping in ugly waters, if he signs and we match ohhh crap or if we let him go for a 1st and a 2nd pretty bad return.

I don't think anything will be decided until MG sees what offers he gets for Lou (and Schneids). Remember that Lou has control over which teams he is wiling to go to, likely a team in the EST zone for easier travel to Montreal and Florida. If Burke offers crap for Lou, then Lou stays and Schneids goes somewhere. We need more than moving up in the draft (Toronto's #5 pick) to be a real contender (second line winger to set-up Kesler, third line center, gritty fourth liners, and a top 4 right-sided D-man). We'll only get one of those for Lou.

He's not getting traded. Luongo and Schneider will be back next season. Luongo will start the first 2 games of the season, play terribly (as he always does in October), then Schneider will take over until December. Luongo will get the bulk of games until February, then Schneider will take over again with his hot play and cool off around playoff time when it's Luongo's time to shine.

We need both goalies to get us through 100 games because the team that wins the Cup is the team that gets hot at the right time, and we have a much better chance of getting hot in the playoffs if we have two goalies playing on-and-off.
