Young prospect holding up Luongo deal

at least if he goes to Fla., he won't have to worry about high playoff expectations
And wither Lord Irk in all of this?

Florida...so he can sit on the bench and watch Jacob Markstrom play.

Burkie has been somewhat quiet this summer... a little too quiet

so really, the prospect is not holding up the deal, it's Tallon's willingness to part with said prospect

Hahaha! Funny! Like Burke would actually leave food on the BBQ without ingesting it whole.

Mike Gillis is delusional. No team is going to give up any prized prospects to get a goalie that is being run out of town, makes a boatload of money and is past his prime. The Canucks are stuck with him just like any other overpaid player in the cap system. If I were a rival GM, I would simply ask Gillis how it will play out if Luongo and Schneider share the same room this season. Especially when Luongo has already stated it's time to move on. Gillis has absolutely no ground to stand on with this trade.

Really thinks it will be fun if Luongo is still there when the season starts.

I don't see any other option here. Florida doesn't need Luongo, and I really don't see why they keep getting dragged into this. The Leafs, all bs aside, aren't going to do this. Chicago needs a goalie, but this isn't what they need at this juncture. The only team I can think of that a) needs a goalie, and b) has pieces they can spare is Edmonton, and I don't know if trading him to a division rival is Gillis' best option here.

I still think...again all BS aside, he is going to The Leafs

Bobby Lou is going to Chicago. The Wolves that is.

If he does, I will legit get a NY Rangers tattoo on my chest. I'm serious, it's simply a deal that doesn't work. The GMs hate each other, the contract length is extremely restrictive and ties the team's hands if he really starts playing awful, and in terms of trade pieces I cannot see where Vancouver has interest in anything the Leafs have. In addition, it's an extra $5.3 mil on the cap. It's not even that bad, really, but when you look at the holes the Leafs have to fill, and the quality of next year's UFA class, it's smart to wait it out.

What's another 5.3 mil when you're paying Celine 6.5?

Meh. It was worth the gamble. He's done in 2 years.

good points all....but in all seriousness, wouldn't Lord irk love to get "a name" in there? Let's face it, one more silly goalie signing and the leafs will have to change their name to Flyers North

Dubnik starts 80 % of the Oilers games this year. Plus they are in for one more year of the Buhlin walls contract

He's just irking around, nursing a mammoth hangover headache.
