I've also been thinking that maybe if the lockout is all year than perhaps both Vancouver and Toronto can attract some key UFA's that would allow Vancouver to take a little less and Toronto to offer a little more [perhaps future package] if they could justify balancing out their rosters with UFA's.

Any deal -- ANY -- will be greatly affected by the upcoming CBA. IF the recent proposal is an indication, it could render Luongo untraceable, or he could have -ve value, if teams are faced to absorb the cap hit for the entire deal. Fact is no one knows and it will need a new CBA before anyone can speculate.
