The Luongo Thread: Just The Beginning (mod warning in post #445)

[Alflives*]

Gillis is a master at keeping things under wraps. If the Flames trade Kipper to Toronto and Canucks basically say that's fine we'll move him to Team B for a lot less than they were talking about I would laugh so hard hahahaha.

Wouldn't be great for the organization but ultimate troll job hahahahahahahahaha.

Would you be laughing if Team B was St. Louis? They are a great team, with poor goaltending.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

here's a question for ya... lou doesn't get traded... plays great and the nucks ride him deep into the playoffs... who's the man then?

At this stage, I'd be comfortable keeping either goalie and dealing whichever one brings the best return. Have been for a while. I think Luongo will be the guy dealt, but never say never, I guess.

 

[Tobi Wan Kenobi]

Luongo isn't going anywhere. Don't get your hopes up.

 

[Big Naissak]

You, I don't like you.

the longer this drags on the bigger the chance that corey goes. he has to get the bigger package but with everyone knowing the nucks are in a pickle and have to trade one guy from the pipe section, I don't know that you can trade corey because teams will low ball him too. being younger alone he has to be worth more.

I would then cheer for St. Louis as my second team. I wouldn't be mad or laughing because I know there would be great pieces we could get in return for a Luongo trade. It won't happen though.

I like Luongo too, and no matter where he goes, I hope his new team does well. What if he goes to Toronto with some other pieces for Kessel?

Joke's on you! I belong to an elite splinter cell of rogue Canuck fans who like our best goalie ever.

What if St. Louis (who clearly needs a goalie) offers one of their young D-men (Shattenkirk - sp?) for Corey? They just acquired Bowmeister.

I thought that was just legend. The stories I've heard.... are they really true?

I'd cheer for Luongo but not the Leafs. The amount of media coverage kissing their ass has been at an all time high especially Dreger....

Good one! That's why I come to these boards - funny stuff.

so not enough... and a few 1st round picks... hell if kessel can get 2 1st round picks corey can get a few.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Not sure how reliable 4th period is.

Canucks/Maple Leafs will resume Luongo trade talks today... Canucks asking about Kulemin or MacArthur to be part of a deal.

Ugh. Big NO on both of those wingers. Kulemin is highly overrated, and MacArthur is just terrible.

 

[ddawg1950]

I will cheer for Lou wherever he goes...except if he is playing against us.

 

[Seattle Totems]

Would anyone like to bet a large sum of money that Luongo does not get traded today? Because I would like to make a large sum of money today.

 

[AmazingNuck]

then you say no because Corey's the only player on the team worthy of building around?

Toronto is the 5th largest market in North America, and the largest hockey market by far, plus they have a lot of really good young players. If you add to that a proven goalie, then the (so called) national stations are going to be very Toronto centered for years to come. Is trading Luongo there to get a piece back that puts the Canucks over the top to win a cup, worth that?

 

[theripper]

anywhere but leafs. even Calgary or edmonton would be better than leafs.

 

[PhilMick]

I've said too much! *smoke bomb*

 

[Dado]

Well, it's Deadline Day. It really is the only possible "end?" until the season is over!

We may get to the end of Luongo in Vancouver - but the end of Luongo threads? Not so sure about that!

 

[ChilliBilly]

What do you consider large?

I could definitely see that happening. Not the kind of thing I bet on, though, sorry!

 

[Hodgy]

Ugh. Big NO on both of those wingers. Kulemin is highly overrated, and MacArthur is just terrible.

I hope you when the deal is finally made and you hear about it that you are sitting down. It is going to be quite the reality check for you.
