Rush17 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 This is purely hypothetical. Roberto Luongo said in an interview with Sportsnet 650 today heading into tonight's game. He just wants to get back to the playoffs. IF: - Florida is out of the playoff picture come the deadline. - Vancouver is in or near a playoff spot come the deadline. - Markstrom is just average like last season. - Demko is showing he's going to be NHL ready soon! Would you do a 1 for 1 swap of Jacob Markstrom back to Florida for Roberto Luongo? to give us a chance! at winning a stanley cup of the backs of Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Bo Horvat, Quinn Hughes and Roberto Luongo? lol There are a lot of IF's here. But its a hypothetical :D It would be really fun to see Lou back in a nux uniform. He might even be willing to come back under the new management.

PunjabiCanucks Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Only reason I do this swap is so the Canucks can put him on LTIR and not get cap penalized? or however that is too work.... Markstrom can fetch us a pick (3rd round maybe). Luongo despite still playing stellar at time will go down more, and he won't love the media when he has a negative game.

King Heffy Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 What does this do with the recapture if he retires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMash Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 He wouldn't want to come back in a million years, honestly. I don't think I'd want it either. Luongo is a legend as far as I'm concerned, but the exit was sour on both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwags Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I would do this trade a million times. However, it will never happen. Luongo will never want to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Probably would do it, then transition Luongo into a coaching role or a front office role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said though, I imagine he's content being close to his family. Especially with all that is going on in Florida seemingly every month.

Hamhuis Hip Check Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Only if he is ready to retire so we can LTIR him and avoid the cap penalty, otherwise its just bringing back bad feelings for the media to feast on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 He's pretty settled in Florida and probably stays there in some capacity once he's retired. Could do double duty between Florida and eastern Canada, he's got the dough. Don't see him being a Canuck again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he left, understandably, with a sour taste in his mouth toward the city due to the media and the management. While the city was left with a sour taste in their mouth toward how the entire goalie saga ended/was handled. Not that Luongo handled it in a sour way. It's just that nobody was happy with anything that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would be supportive of it but yeah his wife may veto it. Maybe she wants to move to Canada though to get away from all the gun violence? I think it would be a really cool story but obviously all that criteria would need to match for even the remotest chance of it happening. 44 minutes ago, BananaMash said: He wouldn't want to come back in a million years, honestly.

The city is embracing the kids and if markstrom is just average maybe it works for us and gives FLA an average starter for the duration. Just an idea that came to me.

Bissurnette Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 We should bring him back and tell the league that he's allergic to his equipment just to see how it would go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him being an old Canuck legend only makes it cooler. It would be sweet to see him retire in Vancouver. I hope he gets a place in our ring of honour.

He has to pass a league doctor too for that kind of situation, can't just fake it to get around his crappy contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Conversation has already occurred(sources say Lu & associates ambled into Aqua's office) : "My 'family' have decided to sell our interests in the East coast olive oil business. You're NOT lucky. Pick a number..we're buyin' you out" It got acrimonious. Stay tuned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
