Luongo.

Toronto, Florida, or other?

Vancouver seems to be in good cap territory for this year. With the shortened season, I can see them keep him. Why hurt your cup chances if you don't have to.

Unless they get an improvement.

After the playoffs last season, I thought Luongo made some comments that didn't sit well with Vancouver? Might be a situation where they want to move him just to keep him out of the lockerroom.

Well, there definitely was a mutual agreement to move on. At the same time, Luongo seems to have his short list of teams. He has the NTC as leverage. If Vancouver had 30 teams to trade with, I don't doubt they could string something together and rather fast.

Florida.

It's about time.

Honestly, I'm just glad I'll actually have sports to watch again (well, sports I actually care about, anyway; I know the NFL playoffs are still going, and there's other forms of hockey aside from the NHL... but it's nothing I find myself emotionally invested in at this point). Game on.

I hope the season starts jan 15 so I can watch a couple games before I head to Florida on the 19th for 10 days

Kesler might be our for a month or more.

Canucks could sign Arnott as replacement but he is far from optimal. Schroeder may not be ready. Traditionally slow starters. Not many players played during the lockout.

IMO they need top6er and preferably one that can play C.

So what happens to all the contracts that are in clear violation to the new CBA? Are they voided and we have Free Agent Frenzy-palooza? Or are they just restructured?

Nothing happens.

I hope they aren't the next one asking for Jim Nill's services.

File that one under the "Came out of the blue without a warning" section.

Toronto board is going to be busy tonight.

Brian Burke's right hand Dave Nonis is the new GM.

He's a good guy.. Toronto could be on the rise soon.

 

[guinness]

I could see canning Burke, but why over Luongo (according to Lebrun) he's a good goalie, but he's always seemed to falter under pressure, and besides I think Toronto is more than a goalie away from competing, but maybe they're getting desperate for the PO.

Not to mention the timing seems odd.

TSN ranks the best goals since 04-05 lockout. Z made the list.

Pretty weak list by TSN. Having the fluky Ovi on his back goal over Ryan and Nash's goals is ridiculous

Only individual efforts. It would have been nice to see some teamwork with nice passing plays.

Oil pick up Fistric for a third rounder.

That's the kind of deal... He's EXACTLY what the wings needed.

Fistric handles the puck like it is a live grenade at times, at least whenever I have seen him play. He does some of the other things we want but I don't think he is comforable enough within the Wings system to work out.
