Good video with Murph interviewing Lu: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/luongo-no-hard-feelings-for-gillis-during-time-in-vancouver/
Responding here since the other thread was locked and there's some serious misinformation.
Seriously, have you watched the video you quoted? This is Nick Kypreos, who hates the Canucks and a media figure paid to create news stories and sensationalism.
Unless you were in the locker room or the meetings with management, you don't know what was said. And a trade was not demanded publically.
The best goalie for Vancouver, who got them to within a game of the cup had "no value"? Wow.
Of course other teams wanted him. The only thing that was an issue was the contract. But I can't believe someone who is a fan of this team would say Luongo had 0 value.
Mr. Gillis, is that you? Unless you were behind closed doors you have no idea what was said to him. Nor how close we were to trading him. It's obvious here to everyone that Luongo had value. And when I say management I include both GM and Coaching decisions. It should have been obvious but I guess sometimes I need to spell it out.
Right. And who is the boss of the Coach? For a game like the Winter Classic, major things like who is going to be in net aren't just made on a whim.
Just because I thought the Winter Classic thing was a ****y thing to do to Luongo doesn't mean I hate management.
Ironic, since they've manipulated you into thinking that Luongo asked for a trade publically, when he didn't. Taking the word of Kypreos indeed. I LOLed.

Wish I was going to this game, energy before the game is going to be crazy

Nick Kypreos is undoubtedly a massive tool, and to say I think little of his hockey commentary is paying him an egregiously high compliment, but....I don't know if he has a reputation for giving bad information, per se. I could be way off base here, but he seems reasonably connnected about these sorts of things.
In any case, can we not drag this discussion into the GDT? It really has nothing to do with tomorrow's game.

Brings back memories of Bure's return to Vancouver with Florida. Went to that game and watched Cloutier stone him on a breakaway in OT.
Really choked that I have to miss this because of work.

I love him, he's the hero we needed, but didn't deserve.
That whole run and team ugh just memories. Being at seven games that whole playoffs including game seven.. ugh memories.
I have a Lu panthers t shirt I bought in FLA after he got traded when I was at that game. Should I wear it to tmr's game?

Hey guys! We didn't do nearly enough pointless arguing when Lu was actually on the team! More! MORE!!!
Or not.
Preferably not.
Seriously, he's gone. It happened. Let him go. Deal with it. Please.
Canucks 4
Panthers 2
WD has a seizure and momentarily puts Kassian on the Sedin line; line scores a hat trick in 4 minutes before coach stache regains his senses and puts Kassian back with Matthias and whoever else. EN goal for Horvat.

Throttle wide open. Make it Luon9o. I love him but I want to see him get ventilated.

No doubt he's a good player, but the contract essentially negated the value he had as a player. Throw on the NTC as well.

If Luongo doesn't get this start does he get traded in three days, again? So glad this guy and his giant sense of entitlement are gone forever!

I am really hoping for a complete Lou meltdown. Love the guy, but a Canucks win is more important. 4-0 Canucks, the exact same score as the last game Vancouver ever played without a goalie contraversy.

That was a heck of a hockey game. It had everything
I am really hoping Kassian has another solid effort. I would love to see him get some time in the 2nd line RW spot.

Hoping Luongo gets a much well deserved round of applause in the start followed by letting in five or so goals.
