Speculation: Luongo Trade Discussions Thread II - All ‎

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Not even for a 1st round pick, and that's what 'nucks fans want as a minimum.

I get it, a few people think Luongo's contract is horrible. Doesn't negate the fact that the majority of people opposing the trade is because of what's being asked. You would know that though if you had the thread... Do me a favor P'dale, contribute to the conversation or don't reply. No need to completely dismiss my valid question because of your bias.

OK, fair enough. Regarding your suggestion of acquiring Luongo for MacArthur/Franson, I would not favor such a proposal. For reasons documented earlier, I do not think acquiring Luongo is a sound move on the part of the Leafs, unless the Leafs acquire additional assets to offset the negative aspects of his age, contract, and iffy playoff record. Further, I think we need a goalie that the team can grow with and Reimer shows definite promise in that regard. His development in Toronto would likely be harmed if the Leafs acquired the high ticket Luongo...not unlike the drama currently going on with Schneider in Vancouver.

I live out west here in Victoria and yes there is drama over the goaltending. Quiet for now, but will flare up again soon enough.

Your objections have been duly noted.

Depends on your definition of drama. Both Luongo and Schneider have been commended for how they have treated the situation. Both players doing and saying what's best for the team at every turn on the windy road. On the other hand if you think a team not having a clear number one goalie is drama in and of itself, then it's definitely the case.
