Rumor: Blue Jackets pursuing Miikka Kiprusoff

[Kev22]

Well I don't really know who would be high on the list if we lost Bob. Thomas? No. Louongo? No. UFA Goalies are looking pretty thin. Mainly the usual backups.

The trade market for goalies will be much better. Miller, Hiller, maybe a guy like MA Fleury?

-Why wouldn't Luongo be high on the list? He's not a bad goalie, just an overpriced one.
-Emery, Smith,Brygalov, Nabakov are also FA's & like Kev22 said, U add Fleury, & Miller as trade targets makes the goalie market sort of saturated. Think at least 3 of those a change in scenery would work wonders for their careers.

If you ask about trading for Luongo I would rather eat my own hand.*

If you ask about offering a 3 year deal to a UFA Luongo then I would be signing quicker than I can type this.

[optimism]Of course all this speculation is idle because Bob is coming back.[\optimism]







*may not be my actual hand

This is kind of what I was saying. Luongo in a trade is horrible. Luongo as a UFA(I'd even say 5 years, thus til he's 38) is not a bad option at all
