So much for Gillis getting what he thought would be a 'King's Ransom' for Luongo...

Credit to Gillis on this one. Recapture aside, this is the best deal I could have hoped for.

I spoke with Mathias' brother at the Roxy over the summer. He'll be fukcin' stoked to be coming home was my understanding.

fully agree. To get out from under that contract and get a young goaltending and a forward in return is an outstanding bit of business from Gillis. Best move he's made IMO.

Markstrom, Matthias > Komisarek and a 3rd

Does this mean we don't need Sutter since we now have a legit 3LC?
Kesler to Phi for B Schen
Edler + 2014 3rd to Detroit for Tatar and 2015 1st

They won't because Torts likes size....Conacher is a wee man.....

He looks exactly like Mike Comrie on the ice!

He did better than I thought(depending on how much cap he's eating).

Did Gillis end up retaining some of Luongo's salary?

Van retaining salary?

I still don't understand why they traded Schneider to be honest. I think this just shows you how much is going wrong in Vancouver right now, they've finally decided that this team is simply not good enough and a rebuild is the only way to fix it. They get a couple of decent young players, i'll be intersted to see how Markstrom pans out. But for me, Schneider was young enough and affordable enough to be part of a rebuild, and he should still be a Canuck. Gillis mis-handled this whole situation from start to end.

maybe the rumors of kesler and schnieds fiance were true.. we honestly have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. I am just glad changes are being made.

Good to see the trolls could make it to tell us how stupid Gillis is.

Yeah, I hope it's not more than like 500K. Luongo better retire by 2018 at the latest...

Van retaining salary?

Did you hear anything or just looking for details? A long term to retain salary...

Warning, there's a fake Bob McKenzie feed claiming Panthers shipped Huberdeau, Barkov & first rounder for Luongo, FALSE!!!

Trolls please kindly piss off or I will be more then willing to help you out with it. Cheers and have a great day.

Gillis has moved Schneider and Luongo in last 9mths and has Markstrom, Matthias & Horvat to show for it. Asset management?

Agreed. I still want him gone but this might be his shining moment. Of course, when you realize he's the one that signed that contract to begin with he's more of an Even Steven.
