Vanek/Moulson

From 2013 TDL:

"No way either Lou or Schneider get a top-10 pick in a deep draft, and no way FLA deals for Lou when they have Markstrom waiting in the system...better take Komi and a 3rd"

This. You could also add in that Lu's contract was totally untradeable.

Good move for the Kings, assuming Gaborik can stay healthy. All depends on the return of course.

@LavoieRenaud: My friend just told me I made a mistake on Kesler. Its not the Wild but the Ducks who are in Kesler's derby.

Here is the return......Yikes

F Matt Frattin
2nd-Round Pick
Conditional 3rd-Round Pick

Vanek/Moulson to Van for Horvat, Shink, Jensen and Gaunce respectively.

Then a 1st for Brodeur.

Cup here we come baby!

@benkuzma: With Gillis/Gilman working phones like telemarketers, bidding for Kesler going crazy.

Frattin, 2nd and a 3rd

Damn you

Who are they bidding against? Won't take a ridiculous offer to beat Detroit or Pit.

That whole thing has been oversold... The acquiring team has minimal recapture risk & if they like Lu (& convince the Canucks to retain salary), they get a guy who's perceived as "world class" for $4.5 per through the rest of his career (which is relatively cheap hit these days) moving forward. They dont have to worry about him retiring early... We do. Although the retained salary will help.

If Luongo's agent got him traded without even discussing with him, Luongo should fire him - even if he did end up where he wanted to go. This all reeks of BS to me.
- docmorgan

The Elliot piece says that Luongo talked to his agent, who then talked to management who then gave the green light for his agent to make the call to the Panthers.

Somehwere, someone has left something out, or added something.

Gaborik is elite when healthy and they need the scoring. I wouldn't call that an all-in move but definitely a bit more than your average rental.

Lavoie(SP?) says Flyers are out. MIN/DET/ANA are in.


Nino, Coyle, 1st

*Assuming Granlund is untouchable
- Nucker101

I read that Levoie made a mistake when he said MINN and actually meant ANH?

Unless new info has come out.

I can do a mean (literally & figuratively) Bryan Murray impression... Maybe I'll call up & throw Ottawa's hat in the ring... Spetscha, Karlschenn & a Firsch Round Pick.

I think we all need to step away from the Twitter circus for a bit and come back at 12pm to see what actually happened.

I think the unmovable contract label was a media creation. The contract was always movable if Luongo was willing to widen the choice of teams he would like to talk with or Gillis had been more realistic with the situation. Even Luongo misused the term yesterday. Last year, the contract was unmovable to Florida would have been more accurate.

I remember when Frattin was in Toronto and hearing about how good a player he was.

Kesler for a clean shaven gillis.

I know it's weird. Then the Kings demanded he was in the Bernier deal. Weird

I was referring to all the trolls that said Luongo would never be traded because his contract was unmovable.
