canuckfan85 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well the Gillis interview highlights, from my perspective anyway: Luongo: - Acknowledged tonight, and spoke singular that an ALL STAR goalie is not something you deal quickly, which should indicate it's going to be Luongo - Would not give Luongo an extension - jokingly (he has 10 yrs on his contract) - Would only move him this season if he found a good package that improves the team - Has had deals in place in the past, pretty close to finalization on one deal, when the partner tried to throw in a player/contract Gillis wasn't interested in (I'm thinking FLA here, with a Bergenheim or Upshall contract dump) - Is perfectly comfortable with having both going into the playoffs, and acknowledges that having 2 starters gives us a better chance to win. Manny Malhotra: - Manny will not play another game in a Canuck uniform. - compared his situation to that of drunk driving, had to take the 'keys' away - Manny has not asked for a trade. Misc. - Liked Raymond at C - Thought Sestito had a good showing - Had a couple cracks about twitter, found it funny that media types argue with 12 y/o's.

Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 why not just take the cap dump, we would save a ton of money anyway- Gillis is kinda standing in the way of improving our team if he has a deal he is happy with but will not take an additional player. He's a smart guy, he knows FLA is a soft market with a small budget...what gives?? Also...Ballard becomes an alternate captain but gets scratched??? Not the way to treat a guy- are we really going to scratch a 4.2 mill D man, and sit a 5.3mill goalie when we have no 2C, no 3C and could really use a Right shot D man??? That's 9.5 mill healthy and not playing tonight...piss poor management/coaching decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsiders Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 We need to clear some cap space to get some more players that will help win us the Stanley cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 All those people blaming mg for not doing the kadri trade were the same ones against it during the summer ... the guy has a 20 good games and all of a sudden he's worth more than Roberto luongo??? Give ur head a shake... u don't trade a franchise goalie for a guy that has twenty good games. Seriously give your head a shake. Next uup lets trade henrik sedin for Sam gagner and a third line player? And then next up lets build a time machine and trade Jason king during his fifteen good games he had that one year for peter forsberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Not saying Kadri is worth than Lu. Just saying that when Kadri+ was on the table for Luongo we should have pulled the trigger. And I was saying it at the time aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Smashian likes Matthias - I'd prefer Goc but wouldn't complain if Matthias were added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Incredible isn't it... Conversely, lets note that we're comparing Luongo to Brodeur. That in itself ought to be enough conviction regarding Luongo. I don't see any Brodeur-Schneider comparison anywhere... Vancouver fans are damn greedy.

Smashian Kassian Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Nope, then we'd have to get a greater return according to CH101. They throw in another first and we're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Kadri being a rookie and AV being the coach, you can bet Kadri would have had 3C duty if anything and he would not have had the breakout season he's having playing top minutes on the Leafs.

Ossi Vaananen Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think Florida wins that deal. Raymond + Barker > Trocheck Luongo > Petrovic, Clemmensen, 2nd Both are prospects are intriguing but we overpay, Barker could be added to throw in a depth guy, but keep Raymond, he has played great and has good value now, if we trade him it should be for something that addresses needs on the current roster. (Preferably in a package for an upgrade of some kind) but not for futures. My counter: - Goc - Petrovic - Matheson/Trocheck/Howden - Upshall/Bergenheim - 2nd - 4th - Luongo - Ebbett (Then throw in a few contacts from our side to even it out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
