Don't listen to it. Half the people on this site get a kick out of rubbing things in other people's faces.
Sorry to jump into your thread as a Leaf fan here but I hope you don't think all Leaf fans are jumping all over Luongo. In fact, many like him and wanted him - some still are in favour of picking him up in the summer. I myself was in favour of acquiring him this past offseason except I was wary of the price being asked by Nucks fans on here (didn't want to give up key-ish pieces like Gardiner, Lupul, etc.).
The issue right now and why I think Nonis didn't take Luongo on the cheap is simply because of Reimer. Reimer has been their starter in this (shortened) season and he has played like a starter. He's looked shakey at times but has been getting results. Nonis I think was hoping for a vet in a supporting role. If the Leafs acquired Luongo, it wouldn't be as a backup - he would replace Reimer as the starter and I don't think they wanted to do that.
It would be like if Vancouver had Schneider and they traded for Luongo right now. It's not fair to their current starter/goalie of the future and due to Luongo's length of contract he'll be around for a long term (it would only be harder to move him later on).
I would like to see Luongo in a Leafs jersey but I just don't think it makes sense right now and I don't think it was what Nonis was looking for. As paulster said earlier, the Leafs aren't expecting to go far this year I don't think - they need experience. A cinderella run would be pretty cool though.
Luongo will only help you this year (more than Scrivens + 2nd rounder or whatever it was - I put little to no stock in these rumours - plus wasn't Dreger not the first to report that price?). It's this offseason where the situation could potentially become more heated.
