Why do we need more depth? No one is injured right now and the depth looks good? I'm happy with how the depth looks now and am confident the problem has been fixed.
I disagree that he was the only reason. He was a big reason, but so were other players. He was probably our 5th best player.Luongo is the only reason we went as far as we did back then. Don't post if you don't want people to respond.

Go back and watch game 5 of the cup final.Those Canucks teams were stacked with talent. Doesn't own a Vezina or any real hardware save the Jennings. Lu meant a lot to Vancouver and deserves his number in the rafters, but to be fair, if Vancouver had a slightly better netminder, they would have taken the Cup home. When they needed him, he choked and that's not an insult. It's the truth.
So, are we the first team to actually get penalized with a Cap Recapture Penalty?
Yeah. It's weird. I don't really get why they are making that assumption.
Edit: nvm. Didn't see this from Mckenzie.
I think it’s as simple as he couldn’t get himself out of bed for $1m. For someone making 5x that in investments the bother just isn’t worth it. In the grand scheme of things it was easier for him to retire.Did he just screw us and Florida on purpose? Seems like it is an easy disability case? He would have got paid as well. What is his angle? It would seem the celebration of his career is a bit early if he is still using team's cap space. Changes my view of his time here if this was avoidable.
Jesus looks like he screwed us to help Florida. League should waive this recapture and see it as manipulation of rules.
Go back and watch game 5 of the cup final.
Where was he Game 6 and 7, when it counted the most? I'm not saying he wasn't a good netminder or the best netminder the Canucks have had so far, I said he chokes when it counts the most. I'm not wrong.
Just the same, Respect to Lu.
Game 7 he scored as many goals as the rest of his team combined.
