Holmgren nixes Luongo speculation

<p><i>On many levels, the Flyers trading for another goaltender doesn't seem to make sense.<i/>

Well duh even if Bryz isn't the answer why would they trade a Russian head case for a French Candian head case? I can only think of two differences:

1. Bryz is/trys to be funny while Luongo trys to make serious comments that unintentionally are funny aka the tire inflator

2. Philly's scented lube tube economy would spike </p>

Fail

If they did this, i'm positive he would struggle, they'd switch back to Bryz, he'd be lights out and they'd end up buying out Luongo.

Sounds like the wishes of a Ranger/Pens fan

Or the view of anybody who has paid attention to the goaltending graveyard that is Philly.

The Flyers trade for the first one didn't make sense either.

Not going that I disagree about the graveyard, even though I would like to think Bryz can be better then he was with even slightly better D infront of him. Tying up all that caps space with Bryz and Looloo just sounds Pens/Rags evil

Agreed, but us Pens/Rangers fans can dream.

yeah, but so much more fun when they simply implode, instead of being able to point at one thing

100% correct about this making no sense. I think Luongoal probably considers himself an italian-canadian above all else.

In all seriousness, I think that Luongoal is probably a safer bet & a better value than Bryz. Either way, it doesn't matter because Philly is stuck with Bryz and I couldn't imagine Philly buying out Bryz, just to turn around and give up players to take on Luongoal.

We can say whatever we want about Philly's horrible track record, but I was always a fan of Hextall.

The only interest in Luongo that the Flyers have is with what other team he ends up playing on.

well, if Strahlman was stand next to Lemieux....666

This would be less stupid then the Flyers giving a long term deal to Bryz, but that's not saying much.
