brewdog Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I will be genuinely floored if Luongo gets traded tomorrow. It almost has to happen, though, as it seems like it will be an even harder sell in the summer. Plus, the team can't do this routine again next year. They have something around $63M committed to 15 players, including Cory and Lu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noheart Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 @Eklund: The latest with 12 hours to go. leafs and flyers may both make Luongo pitches in the next twelve hours...the bids will get higher Not to worry guys, bidding war between PHI and TO Looks like I'm changing my name to nipple poop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewdog Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I actually hope Schneider gets traded for some AWSOME NOW parts. Roy only, won't cut it. It doesn't put the Canucks over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noheart Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I agree. I think a (very good Lu + an excellent team) is a better contender than an (excellent Cory + a very good team). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun4m Intriguing name: teams are talking to Florida about Dmitry Kulikov. He's not untouchable but I think Florida would need to get a great offer AS MUCH AS I HATE TO TRADE LUONGO... If it were to happen, if it had to happen, I would want this guy in the returning package. I wish Lui is a Canuck come tomorrow, but if it had to be...

oldnews Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 So what yur saying is you know nothing about any other team but yur own and i could argue you know much about that. you only wanted a player the leafs traded a couple months ago for a 7th round pick. franson is due for a big payday. likely around 3.5 mil a year and fratten is a keeper. kipper is a bum. and won,t get more then a 3rd. lu is a great goalie but his cap hit for 9 years is ugly. if it was 5 years left i think we would give bozak fratten likely a biggs or matt fine and a 1st maybe a second. but everyone in hockey agree,s lu wont be playing like a true number 1 in 6 years. the cap is huge now every team has to have the books just right. one wrong move and it could hurt you for years. NYR MIN VAN will find this out the hard way...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nino Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Question... With the deadline at noon pacific time, what is the latest that anyone recalls a deal being announced? I tink I recall one year that deals were still being announced hours after the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blömqvist Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Teams have to submit their trades to the NHL before the 12PM PST deadline. Processing and all that jazz can still happen afterwards, so yes deals can still be announced hours after the deadline. I think it all depends on how much of a logjam and how long it takes to process deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I must admit that the Roy deal combined with Gilman's comments about 'going all in' surprised to say the least. Highly likely Roy is a rental. At a minimum Van needs another top 6 winger and a R-Dman. Does Lou bring that back. Respectfully no. If a deal happens then hopefully it is with Ballard going out as well. Combine this Van wish list with the hope that Kesler can be effective on return. It doesn't change the way I would play Van in playoffs. CUP quality teams have the book on Van it isn't pretty. Not only can you shut the Twins down with physical play but LA proved last spring that a physical two man forecheck can beat the Van d-core in their end. IMHO nothing has changed enough to think differently. Gillis will have to do a gangbuster deal to have the Canucks go past one maybe two rounds.

Ride the red Pony Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I see the folks at TSN are tweeting that MacLaren is absent from practice, do you think he could possibly be part of a deal, If so do you see the value in him. Size, toughness, could move bodies from in front of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannik freaking hansen Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I don't get all this talk about the large goalie market next year. When top goalies head to FA they are leaving a team with a hole at that position. Theoretically all FA will do is rearrange which teams will have goaltending issues. For example: Mike Smith leaves PHX, who takes the reins? Is it LaBarbera, maybe they sign Nabokov? Then NYI needs someone. TSN is blowing smoke up Leafs fans asses thinking they can have Roberto for nothing. There are only a finite amount of elite goaltenders available in the NHL and the Canucks have two of them.
