Komi & Bozak aren't going to kill the deal, they're just not going to be involved because they're worth more to the Leafs than they are the Canucks.
When looking at players who would be likely to go for Luongo, you have to look at guys who the Canucks would place higher value on than the Leafs.
Think a guy like MacArthur who can immediately step onto their 2nd line and give them depth as opposed to a winger crowded in depth in Toronto. Or a depth centre like Lombardi who on a good day is the Leafs 4th best centre, but on that same good day, becomes Vancouver's #3C.

If the deal is Lombardi + 1st (top 10 protected) for Luongo... sure. No reason to take the first off the table, the deal as a whole does have to make sense though... and for a team that has a bunch of older prospects and a very young team, a first is likely to be overvalued by the Leafs relative to a prospect who can play right away (and may also need to in order to keep developing).
