08:26 AM ET 05.25 | The crease may yet be entirely too crowded in Vancouver. [Canucks] head coach Alain Vigneault let the cat out of the bag on French language TV: Goalie Roberto Luongo does indeed want a trade out of Vancouver. Speaking over the telephone to a Montreal-based TVA Sports show called Le Match, Vigneault was asked if he agreed that Luongo needed a fresh start. (Vigneault was on the show Wednesday night to discuss his contract extension.) "First of all, that is what he wants right now," Vigneault said in the translated quote. "What we need to do is what's best for our organization and our team. We have to look at what's best for our organization and Roberto." Luongo, 33, lost his starting job to Cory Schneider during the playoffs.

Between the two goalies Cory would be much easier to trade, but I'm sure they'll find someone to pick up Luongo. See The Bishop! above.

They should trade him for Rick DiPietro. Vancouver gets a backup goalie who only needs to stay upright for 10 games a year, New York gets a starter who won't choke until the playoffs, and both get to keep onerous contracts!

I heard Steve Y say yesterday that he is looking for a hall of fame type goalie and there is not one out there available right now. The Loubots hopes may be dashed.

It's quit possible Vancouver may have to eat part of his salary to get rid of him.

I actually suggested this early on, and added the caveat that since he chokes in the playoffs, it won't be an issue in Nassua County for a while
