He's going to Boston, I tell ya, it's Boston.
- LeftCoaster

That would go over well seeing how wonderful he played in playoffs there

Exactly. That's the way to go. Luongo to Edm it is then.

As long as the return is reasonable, I'm all for a Luongo trade. Hater's gonna hate, but he is still a quality tender.

Yep, no doubt. Just hope he's good in 2019 is all.

Hopefully he's retired by then and the cap hit goes back to Vancouver

If that's the case in the new CBA, i'd be over the moon in trading Komi and a 5th for him.

Be willing to bet Luongo is every bit as good in his late '30s early '40s as Joseph and Belfour were

Just wondering how oilers fans feel about a MSP and Gagner deal?
- IanEsplen

It's too much for Luongo's terrible contract.

ya they'd eat him alive over there.

I suspect you're right. I'd love to have Lu in the blue & white. It just has to be the right return. I don't expect to get him for free, but not at a cost of Gardiner, Reilly, 1st rd picks etc.

How would you feel about Kadri straight up?

Lol! So would I, but not gonna happen.

Here's a question, does Luongo make the Oilers a contender?

Maybe, it's hard to say. I certainly don't believe the Leafs should try and find out, in our precarius position. I'd suggest Edm should though.

It's only a 6 year contract. 5 after this lockout.

Maybe not next year but after that, yes.... and in a big way.

Lou would make any team that makes the playoffs a contender.

Today we will continue moving forward with the Luongo Trade discussion and build a trade around the number two ranked player in Monday’s voting, Magnus Paajarvi (20%)
- IanEsplen

Moving forward, or just spiralling downward, further from reality?

Good morning, my groovy Vancouver friends.

Happy Hallowe'en.

- RichardHertz

Now, no, in two years if the Oilers make some roster moves then yes of course.

I suspect you're right. I'd love to have Lu in the blue & white. It just has to be the right return. I don't expect to get him for free, but not at a cost of Gardiner, Reilly, 1st rd picks etc.

I think Bozak and Reimer would probably be the deal from what the Media as rumouring here.

If Luongo hasn't retired by the time he is 39 he will be put on LTIR with concusion like symptoms for the rest of his career like Pronger. The only players Bettmans proposal will hurt are other players still paying insurance rates. Hossa Keith Luongo all magically have concusions when they approach 40 .

Hopefully he's retired by then and the cap hit goes back to Vancouver
- Farva

If that's the case, then Luongo's price just doubled.

The sticking point has always been the term of the contract. If Vancouver is responsible for any remaining cap hit after Lu hangs'em up, then the contract is no longer an issue for any teams interested and those will increase. More teams equal bidding wars.

It sounds off, but this might be a blessing in disguise for Vancouver.

Lol! So would I, but not gonna happen.

If Tor drafted the best goalie prospect this year and put him in the AHL for 2 to 3 years and brought him up and let him back up for 2 to 3 years ,then around the 5 or 6 year when he is ready Lu would then be ready to retire .

I'd be fine with that return, no problem.

If you were told that you could get a goalie that could get you in the playoffs every season and win 2 cups in the 10 years he is with your team would you take him for Lou's contract?

Understood.

Then Vancouver puts him on LTIR and can bring in someone of equal value. No problem ,ask Dipietro

He has to have players in front of him to accomplish that, teams like Toronto don't currently have that.

You can't just place a player on LTIR.

DiPietro has actually been hurt. I think I read somewhere that his knees have been rebuilt like 62 times.
