vcrguy Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hah, never happened. Unless you believe HockeyyInsider Last year, everyone on here wanted a 1st, a player and a prospect, so Kadri, Bozak wasn't enough............do you remember those days? we also wanted to trade Booth for the same and MayRay for the same...........the sad thing is, is that reality kicks in and then you're all in denial about what we could have had.

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Is Toronto trying to rewrite history? Someone said Toronto offered a 1st, and Scrivens at the deadline. I thought it was a 2nd, a prospect, and Scrivens and we took HALF of Luongo' s salary. Does anyone remember or have a link what Toronto offered?

vcrguy Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 why does everyone insist on drinking the koolaid..........you realize sometimes (and in MG's case many times) people do the wrong thing, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Denial doesn't make it true.............that's a real TO offer that was in the news......but MG wanted more and it fell apart. Should we take your word as gospel because you are a Leafs fan? That was a rumour and was never substantiated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustavo Fring Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Happy for Lu, finally gets what he wants. Im very excited for this rebuild/retool. I'm hoping Markstrom gets his game back playing behind Lack and Matthias is going to surprise a lot of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 dreger tweeted today they offered frattin, scrivens, and a 2nd lol Dreger is a hack when it comes to the Luongo rumours. Great on everything else, but his report on a false rumour of Kadri and Bozak meant he created news instead of reporting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_a_M Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 This is an unbelievable trade for the Canucks. A lot of people believe that Markstrom could be the next big thing when it comes to goalies. I am also sad to see Luongo go but it is definitely for the best, Luongo was nothing but a professional. I am aware Gillis has caused a lot of damage but he was able to do something that a lot of people thought he couldn't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting Florida's 1st is not reasonable - for all sorts of reasons. you can poopoo in the corner all you want - it just makes me enjoy this deal even more.

Well you should have no problem providing a source then, right. Here's another real story that was in the news - Luongo would not waive to go to Toronto. Thanks for coming out.

Mr.Plow Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Supportive of this trade as long as Gillis makes more moves tomorrow. If he doesn't deal some dead weight tomorrow, the timing of this deal just doesn't quite make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Happy for Lu, finally gets what he wants. Im very excited for this rebuild/retool. I'm hoping Markstrom gets his game back playing behind Lack and Matthias is going to surprise a lot of us. Now I know that Matthias is not a replacement for Kesler, but I feel that adding him has really opened up the possibility of trading Kesler while still leaving us somewhat covered at centre. That's how I'm viewing it, anyway, I think Matthias is more than just a third line replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerdraft Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Pekka Rinne was 26 before he became an NHL #1. http://www.nhl.com/i....htm?id=8471469 Markstrom is of similar size.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart_of_a_canuck Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 When going online to see what trades had gone down I was not expecting Luongo as a headline trade. Man my heart dropped when I read Luongo had been traded I haven’t posted much at all since I joined this forum, as I usually keep to myself and don’t like getting into arguments with others. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect that. But I have to post today. When Luongo was acquired from Florida he resembled Johnny Canuck to me. I watched him make awesome saves that got me off of my seat. Shortly he turned into my favourite Canuck player . He is the one who made me a Canucks fan. I really wished that Luongo could win the Stanley Cup and retire in Vancouver. Thanks for all the saves and good memories Lu! I am glad I got the chance to meet with you and tell you that “You are #1 in my heart and always will be”. I feel terrible and apologize for what you had to go through in the last couple of years in Vancouver from the boos to management jerking you around. You are genuine world class person and deserve better! I wish you all the best in Florida! I hope you and your family find happiness in Florida. Man it’s going to be hard to see Luongo in another jersey. Looks like this chest pain isn’t going to go away anytime soon. Bobby Lu, I am gunna miss you!!!

That's how I'm viewing it, anyway, I think Matthias is more than just a third line replacement. Yeah he's a 4th line replacement as well. Really I'm just glad to have the cap-space. I would try to package Matthias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
