If he wanted out, he wouldn't be here.

Unfortunately, he still has a contract with the Canucks. He could either honour the contract or void the contract. For a very simple reason, $, he reports. Just because he is here, it does not mean that he wants to be here.

Cliff Viner has been the majority owner of the Panthers since November 2009, and he’s wanted out for a while.
...
If this thing goes through, it will be good news for the Panthers, who have had to cut payroll and have been limited financially over the past two seasons.
That might be the reason why Tallon did not trade for Luongo. If the sale goes through and Lack has a good season, the situation might be different again next summer.
Makes sense JC.

Funny how quiet they kept that.

If Markstrom shits the bed again... and TT is done... the Cats might be begging for Lou next summer. :mex:

I don't think he could void the contract. I think if he had that option, he would have used it and gone back to Florida.

Luongo wants out, but he's a professional, and this is a good team. I also think the media has beaten this to death because drama sells. Is anyone shocked one of the best goalies of his generation would be PISSED about being a backup? No shit, tell me more!

Remember when Tim Thomas was supplanted in Boston by Tuukka Rask in 09-10? Well he came back from that demotion and won the Vezina and the Stanley Cup the following season. ;)

The fans of this town don't deserve a Cup.

How old are you Pauster ? If I had to guess I'd say 18. Even though you behave like a 12 year old on here you have been around for five or six years so you can't be that young.
So because I'm sick of the stupidity and hypocrisy that exists amongst Canuck fans, the media, (hell and even the team itself) I must be 18 or 12? Give me a break!

Pauster your rants are misguided at best and if you don't think Lu wants out your head is so far up your ass you can lick your rib cage clean.

Misguided? Why? Because the stupid fans of this team blame Luongo for everything? It's like it's his fault that we can't score. Don't blame the Sedins for our lack of offense, blame Luongo! It's downright stupid!

I could care less if Luongo wants out. He's signed long-term to a contract. If a good trade comes up then it's something to look at, sure. But to just give Luongo away because he wants out is downright stupid.

[quote="Strangelove"][quote="Rumsfeld"]
OK, so Luongo is a top 3 goaltender in the league RIGHT NOW... who couldn't be traded for a second round pick or two. :lol:

Holy shit, every GM in the league must be retarded.
[/quote]

Maybe they were hesitant to trade for a guy who had his heart set on being a Panther [img]http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/image ... /dunno.gif[/img]

... which would make Dale Tallon the retard. :mrgreen:

All I know is Luongo is the #1 on a contender and Panic Attack is a backup on a lottery team. :mex:[/quote]

Luongo couldn't be moved because of his contract. That was the biggest issue.

Schneider will start more games than Brodeur and Luongo was the back-up to Schneider last season.

Luongo is the Canucks starter because of his contract. Nothing else.
