King of the ES Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I don't agree with what you see when reading between the lines, but if you hypothetically were correct, wouldn't it be great that Gillis didn't sell so low, but waited to this point where Schneider's value is marquis.

stawns Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'm not saying that there's nothing to it. I'm merely pointing out credible members of the Washington media deny it. I'm very confident that if those same members instead said something like "we're hearing that there are serious discussions going on right now between VAN and WAS about Luongo", not a single person here would be questioning their credibility. Funny how that works, isn't it? What's interesting to me is that they only mentioned Luongo, and not Schneider. Honestly, to me, it's looking more and more like Cory is the one that may well be on his way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 It would be better, yes, but Schneider's value still would've been higher at the deadline of 2012 or earlier. Anyway, count me in as one that hopes it's Schneider that's actually moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerdraft Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 See, this is why I don't ignore you completely, a reasonable post - one which I'd think many of us here would agree on! Orlov is more enticing to me than Gardiner, and I'd be interested in a secondary prospect like Galiev even and a pick but we'd have to see just how desperate they are.

elvis15 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Can we get our hands on Tom Wilson too, please? Having him and Kassian would solve any "top-nine toughness" questions for the next decade and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I still think the deal will be based around MoJo. I really like him, he's still on his ELC, very young and loads of potential. Solidifies our 3rd line and the C positition for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edlerberry Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Link? I see no such tweet. The only thing close is this one: I take that as a suggestion that Gillis should go there to try and up his leverage and not a serious report that he's actually going to.

elvis15 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 A couple resulting articles, one from Ed Willes, who has been tweeting sarcastically about how much the Caps would have to pay, and another from Steve Ewen, more about Luongo getting another start: ... Admittedly, the circumstances couldn’t be better from Gillis’s perspective. The Caps are built to win now and they’re struggling under rookie head coach Adam Oates. GM George McPhee is starting to feel the heat and his goaltending has been shaky. The Caps also have three high-end forward prospects in their organization. Evgeni Kuznetsov might be the best player in the world not in the NHL although his desire to play in North America is in question. The Caps also had two first-rounders this summer in Filip Forsberg and Tom Wilson. There’s a dropoff after Kuznetsov, Forsberg and Wilson but there are still intriguing players. The calibre of the Caps’ top three, in fact, suggests the deal could involve Cory Schneider. It doesn’t figure the McPhee would trade one of their blue-chippers for a 33-year-old goalie whose contract runs to the end of days, that would be Roberto Luongo. But who knows where this is heading? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
