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

If he retires in 2021...Van hit with a cap recapture of 7.7 Mill...

Ok, I like you again.....

Same.

I wonder if an "agreement" was made.

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

It all depends how Horvat turns out.

the first was for schnieder...horvat

- chompsey

Nope friends off.

Ugh.

- jimi james

Yeah, best case was to make this deal last summer and keep Schneider, but this is still better than keeping Luongo.

Unless Lou hates gillis/team so much and just retires for a big FU then goes and plays in Europe.

Ugh.
- DrChristianTroy

Hopefully the cap is high enough at that point for the recapture to not make a huge difference.

OH MY GOD! THE WORLD WILL END!

What do you think the salary cap will be in 2021?

Ugh.

@GMillerTSN: Vancouver retains part of Luongo's salary as part of the deal with Florida.

They probably told him that if he wants to get outta here that he'll agree to retire in 2018, he doesn't make much then anyways.

The situation was getting ugly. Honestly I bet Lou is so exuberant right now just so he can relax. Does he pull out his old mask and pads?

Who's pumping who's tires in FLA for the rest of the season?

IF FA wasn't gonna buy him out then this was the best move possible.

7 million for nothing still hurts.

Lou and Schnieder for Markstrom, Matthias and a first.....

Fire Gillis now
- jimi james

The pick was 9th overall in a very deep draft.

Worth noting.

I'd be surprised if that happens..
