Funny HW, I would have thought that you would be the most perplexed by Gillis' comments on a mystery trading partner. You mentioned before how tight lipped the organisation has become since Gillis took over and this "leak" is definitely not his style at all.Hockey Widow wrote:Like Luongo would waive to go to NYI.

Washington hasn't had good goaltending on a regular basis since whats his name retired. I can see that being a perfect fit for Luongo and they have pieces to trade. Philly needs to deal with their cap issues going forward. So they would need to deal Byrz to make Luongo work and we ain't taking him back. Although Burke loved him in Anaheim so maybe Baby Brian would take him for a song and a dance so Philly could clear cap space.
I believe MG has a dance partner. Who, is anyone's guess at this point. Him going public I think is his way of saying fuck off to everyone.
