Brassard bouncing around now.

What would be Florida's plan with Luongo and Reimer then?

I would assume Reimer would be either added in the deal or traded at the TDL for picks and run a Bobby Lu/Bobby-rovsky tandem

 

[CupInSIX]

Can't give Bob an 8 year extension though. He has to be on the team for a certain length of time in order to be able to offer that.

 

[BB88]

Damm 8 is a big threat.

if they trade for him before the TDL I think they are able too

I'm guessing they hope or have had a talk with luongo about retirement.
Probably buying out reimer, unless he goes in a trade.

If they acquire him before the trade deadline they can

Is it not 10 games played?

 

[CDN24]

Brassard bouncing around now.

Wasn't he a CBJ draft pick way back when

 

[Mickey Marner]

Lol. It's baffling how GMs want to hand out these 8 year deals to just anyone.

Yes they can

 

[Skip To My Lou]

Bobrovsky gonna be the new Bryzgalov isn't he.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

How this Rags beat reporter knows anything about what's going on between Ohio and Florida?

 

[CupInSIX]

If they acquire him before the trade deadline they can

How soon before the deadline? A day before?

 

[Pragmatic Panther]

This is my nightmare. Are we really going to sign a 30 year old goalie to an 8 year contract who has a save % below 900.

 

[Tawnos]

Lol. It's baffling how GMs want to hand out these 8 year deals to just anyone.

I had no idea a 2-time Vezina winner could be considered "just anyone."

Yeah, he's not playing as well as he has in other years, but to call Bobrovsky that is just silly.

 

[Panteras]

Lol. It's baffling how GMs want to hand out these 8 year deals to just anyone.

Our GM is called Dale Tallon. This is a normal contract.

 

[CDN24]

As long as player is on your reserve list as of the deadline (I think). so as long as you acquire him before the deadline you can give 8 years. if you acquire his rights for a late pick in June you can only give 7 as he was not on your reserve list at last trade deadline.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Bob's agent is located in New York I'm pretty sure

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Brassards the red headed step child of the league right now

So Vegas can offer Panarin 8 years.
Hmm. This is good news indeed.

 

[LucicAndChong]

I get why they want Bob now, but im not sure if its a good idea

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

seems like it's something that isn't worth the risk, but Florida is too desperate for a goalie to care
