Luongo

[bustaheims]

So you're doubting some guy?

Shocking, I know.

 

[Champ Kind]

Like a lot of you, I'm beginning to rethink Luongo's value, though I still think he's a great acquisition at the right price.  His valkue is likely much, much lower than initially thought (didn't some writer suggest it would take the Leafs' first rd pick + Kadri?).  This may be a case where Van has to sweeten the pot.

To that end, would anyone do a deal like Luongo + Kassian for Komi + 2'nd?

 

[louisstamos]

Call it gut instinct, but I have a feeling Luongo winds up in New Jersey if Brodeur decides to hang it up after these playoffs...

 

[Zee]

Apparently, some guy on Twitter who broke both the Hodgson trade and the Booth trade before the media is saying Luongo to Toronto by the draft if not July 1, and is a done deal.

Probably not true but fun to think about nonetheless.

Please don't tell me it's incarceratedbob I really loathe that guy.

If by fun you mean the thought of it happening makes me want to be violently sick all over the place then yes, fun.

I do know the sticking point is Gardiner... Both GM's know Gardiner = Shultz as well so it's like getting a 2 for 1. I spoke to this person again on the weekend but they wouldn't give me anything more. 5th overall plus Gardiner and Shultz would be a very nice haul. Fan 590 in Toronto was reporting 1st, Schenn, and Gardiner this morning, but that would be a true pillaging!

Now fans have been known to have unrealistic appraisals of a player's worth,  but did the Fan 590 actually report that trade?????  If Burke did that, being fired would be he least of his problems.

 

[bustaheims]

Anything from the Fan590 is pure wild speculation. Also, anything from a guy calling himself $lacker is as well.

I'm guessing that's the Canucks fan equivalent of the people here who think we're getting Jordan Staal for Kulemin, Komisarek and a third.

If Schenn OR Gardiner OR our first are traded for Luongo, it is a steal.

Didn't Marty already say he'll play another year?  I thought I had heard something to that effect...

Last I heard was he hadn't decided yet but is leaning towards coming back.

I think he said he hadn't ruled out playing another year, but, I don't recall seeing anything as definite as what you're saying.

You're telling me $lacker isn't reliable??  ;D

I can't see the Canucks getting a huge haul for Luongo with his 99 year contract left (I exaggerate to clarify)

 

[bustaheims]

Luongo's value is kind of hard to judge. On one had, he's one of the top goalies in the NHL. On the other hand, he's 33, has 10 years left on his contract, a NTC clause, limited suitors, and is in a situation where his team almost has to move him. On top of that, Vancouver almost certainly has to deal with the Schneider situation before they can finalize any Luongo deal. He's not going to net the Canucks the return the Vancouver media and fans are talking about, but he's also likely to bring in more than "a couple of middling prospects" or the other similar proposals that have been bandied about.

I seriously doubt Gardiner is going anywhere, especially if there's any truth to the fact that Schultz may come to Toronto based on his friendship with him. Schenn and Komi would look good in Vancouver Canucks uniforms.

Burke would be wiser to just sign Vokoun for nothing instead of giving up significant pieces for Lou.

I'm sure that's an option he's considering, depending on Vokoun's health, willingness to sign here, etc.

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

that's BS ..no way burke gives up that much ..the leafs are pretty high on gardiner right now ...luongo isn't worth it..not at that price point
