07:09 AM ET 07.07 | While Columbus Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash remains the hottest name on the trade market, the matter of what the Vancouver Canucks will do with goaltender Roberto Luongo remains to be decided as well. During a radio interview Friday with The Jeff O'Neil Show on 99.3 The Fox in Vancouver, the veteran spoke about his time with the Canucks in the past tense and intimated he doesn't expect to be back in the fall. "At the end of the day, I think it's time to move on. And I'm OK with that," Luongo said. "I had a great six years in Vancouver. It's a really wonderful city. I really enjoyed my time there. Unfortunately, I was not able to bring a Stanley Cup there. Probably my biggest regret. But it'll be remembered for six great years."

Probably? What else is in the running, this I'd love to know.
Oh, and don't worry, you're biggest memory will be choking in the SCF.
The NHL home office is happy the Presidents Trophy means something to someone.

I dunno. Unless they lower their asking price Bobby Lou is going to be back again next year. Either that or the Wolves will have to deal with him. (Chicago Wolves that is.)

There is a flip side to all this and that is Luongo is still a very good goaltender. If the team in front of him had of scored a few more and didn't take the kid like penalties they did whose to say how some of their seasons may of ended up. I don't like the guy but I do think he takes to much of the blame for the Canucks failures. I think Van mgmt are listening to much to what the fans want instead of doing what is best for the team. They move Schnieder they get a boatload. Columbus is looking for a goalie and they have to move Nash. That is a deal could have been made IMO.
