Huh? I don't quite recall Burke or Nonis bringing the Canucks to the Stanley Cup finals. I think Gillis has done a pretty good job building this team to compete. I'm also sure that if he does indeed trade Luongo you will see at least two players that come to Vancouver who will help them go deep in the playoffs again. #3: “Gimme a break–no wonder the Canucks have been consistently getting worse and overpayed since Nonis left.”

Gillis is only asking for someone who would fit this team. Wouldn't you try to get the best player(s) you could? So hypocritical! If Luongo wasnt worth anything the media wouldn't be talking so much about him. You guys are mostly just haters. Gillis is only asking for someone who would fit this team.

Should have traded him at the draft. I think he is right, that the lockout really made it difficult for the team to sort this. Should have traded him at the draft.

I dont know what type of player he thinks he has, or what type of package he wants in return, but c'mon. The player doesnt want to play there, he's told the entire league that. How can you expect other teams to gut their rosters in order to pick up an unhappy player. Not to mention, if they have him in a backup role all season, what is the value for a good backup goalie with a $6-million per year contract? Gimme a break--no wonder the Canucks have been consistently getting worse and overpayed since Nonis left. Holy, as a fan, even I’m sick of GM Gillis running up the price for Luongo.

If the team that the trade is with needs to make a move first, one has to assume that it's a team that's close to the cap. Teams that have under $7 million in space include: Montreal, Buffalo, Calgary, the Rangers, Chicago, San Jose, Minnesota, Philly, and the Caps. If we take out all of the teams with solid starters, we're left with the Sharks, Hawks, Caps, and possibly the Flyers. I can't imagine the Sharks would try to make a play for him since they've been content with mediocre goaltending for a long time, and the Hawks have a habit of being in tight series with the Canucks, so I can't imagine them sending him there. That leaves the Caps and Flyers. Obviously Ed Snyder is bonkers and could potentially try and pull something big off, but I can see the Caps and their boatload of young talent trying to make a move here. Since Kolzig left, they've never really had a number one. I’m sure we can probably come close to figuring this all out.

He seems pretty delusional about this whole thing. I’m surprised Gillis didn’t try to claim that there were too many teams involved. He seems pretty delusional about this whole thing.
