Re: So, who would you like in a return for Luongo
Dream on Rd it is apparently what you do best. If you want reality though you should read Doc's post. His idea of Matthias, Petrovic and Clemmensen makes a lot more sense. Although I would prefer Shore instead of Matthias. Your choices only meet one of Gillis' requirements while Doc's meet all three.RoyalDude wrote:Hey Listen, whoever you are...have you not noticed?

Re: So, who would you like in a return for Luongo
Well given how well JS has played(albeit in a small sample size), isn't it fair to say that his first round drafting hasn't been that bad at all? With stumpy, JS, Jensen and now Gaunce...that's a pretty damn good looking crop, if you ask me. The only one who you can almost write off is Yann Sauve and he was only a 2nd.RoyalDude wrote:We have bagged one here and there Danny Boi, but the record shows that Gillis has taken his blows in the drafting department.

I think it's time for you to maybe see that he's not quite as bad as you make him out to be. Sure he's screwed up on a few trades but overall I'd have to rate him in the top to middle of the pack as far as GMs go.
If you need air...call it in
Re: So, who would you like in a return for Luongo
I was for trading Kesler after the Finals, as his stock would never get higher than it was. As it turned out, he hasn't been healthy since the San Jose series.dangler wrote:Now THAT would be a bold move!!!
I'm not against trading Kess either.
Heard Ferraro talking about injuries the other day and he stated that your body never quite performs the way it did before.
Well, Kessler has had 3 surgeries since his phenomenal performance of 2010/11.
I'm pretty sure he has a NTC,and I would love to have him prove me wrong,but i think we've seen his best already.
I do take Ferraro's point with a grain of salt - tell him to talk to Selanne about coming back from injuries. If Kesler is rehabbing the right way (which it seems like he is), I have far more confidence in his ability to bounce back. Of course, the problem is with his style of play its only a matter of time before he has another slew of injuries.

Re: So, who would you like in a return for Luongo
I like the way the team is right now and see no rush to trade Luongo. If these guys can keep the level of play up I see no reason to trade away a talent such as Luongo for a few parts that may or may not work the way we want.
Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Raymond- Kesler-Higgins
Booth-Schroeder-Hansen
Weise-Lappy-Kassian
Malhotra,
Kassian can move up or down the lines and Schroeder can fill in at 2nd or 3rd line C.
We have a very strong line up on our D with
Hamhuis-Edler
Garrison-Bieksa
Ballard-Tanev
With Alberts and Barker in the press box.
In goal wow the top duo in the league
Schneider
Luongo
If for some reason we begin to soil the sheets then cast about for a good trade. Unless of course Florida offers us Bjugstad and Petrovic or Washington calls us with Forsberg and Carlson. Then all bets are off.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

Schroeder is 22.RoyalDude wrote: Schroeder, got hight hopes for him...but it's still way too early to see where Schroeder's NHL career is going.
Hodgson and Kassian were both younger than that when you first wrote them off.
Just sayin.

I like this lineup although it will drive Doc crazy. Raymond has a better head for the game than Booth or Higgins and is a much better passer than either of them or Kesler. Kassian would work with this 2nd line as well if be and Burr were flipped. Kass is a decent passer and has a better head than Booth. He is also very good along the wall for a young guy.

So you are saying he should be lights out right now due to him being long in the tooth?

Or clowns for that matter.
Speaking of circuses, and back on topic, I noticed HF has finally put an end to their string of Luongo Trade threads.
20,000 posts over the past 8 months!
It's safe to say Luongo trade speculation was the longest running topic in HF Trade Rumours history.
So yeah, he must be a big deal, this Roberto Luongo....

Reimer down and has left the game.
Re: So, who would you like in a return for Luongo
Yup it's too bad Frattin is scoring like crazy with his sniper shots - top net, as I wanted that guy on the Canucks as part of the Luongo trade, he'd be perfect on our 2nd line right now.Benjo wrote:Reimer down and has left the game.
Still highly doubt Luongo goes to the leaves though, unless there is a good 3 way trade somehow with Gardiner + going somewhere else.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
