Yeah the basic idea was, buy Luongo out.
Trade Luongo, get nothing, and potentially keep some of his salary/cap on the books.

Or if we trade Cory, we can at least get a top 6 forward to play for the team next year.

A draft pick? Half the city already wanted Gillis lynched.

while he's cleaning house, let Kesler hit the road too.....he's never going to be the player that dominated Nashville in 2011 ever again.
Too late in this draft to deal the twins.

Bottomline: I don't care who the players are, as long as the TEAM wins.

I think the owner refused to take the buyout hit on Luuuu and Gillis overplayed his hand on the trade value for Luuuu. Now we basically have a goalie who's been told he's not good enough to be the no. 1 guy, what a colossal clusterfuck.

I wonder if Torts had a big say in this trade. Maybe he prefers Lou?

Gillis quoted as saying he did not talk to Roberto before making the deal. Sweet fucking justice is Lui tells him to stuff it and that he won't play here.
Sounds like he sort of did. TSN spoke with him and looks like he isn't happy, and considered his time here over.
But its his fault too, if all of last year he was only waiving his ntc for a couple options.

I don't think Martin Brodeur will be interested in sharing his duties.Even tho' he's what 39, he still wants to play
60 or so games.

another crease controversy?

also,with Luongo,so much has gone down,he was not wanted,but couldn't be traded,so he's #1 by default,doubtful he's gonna be
a happy camper.

Here is what Lou said when told of the trade:"the divorce is already done" to James Duthie of TSN. The saga continues...

What a disgrace the Canucks have become at handling players...surely the laughing stock of the league thanks to Gillis! Even Wilde could do a better job...:confused::fear::pound:

What do InTheBum and Mike Gillis have in common?



They both liked to get fucked in the ass...:nod:

Canucks need to win the cup this year or Gills will be out as GM. The whole thing was ugly from beginning. I really liked Schneider. Wish him very best in New Jersey:)

New Jersey fans (if there is such a thing) must be happy.

Cory will fit right in. If NJ plays the same style game they alway have in front of Brodeur.
His stats will likely improve over what he did here.
Maybe even a potential Vezina winner with them.
Making Gillis look even worse.
Like how Hodgson is second in scoring for the Sabres, or Grabner 70 goals for the NYI in the last 3 seasons.

BJ, even if all that is true, the important questions are does Luuu still wants to be here? And do you want a #1 goalie that wants to be anywhere but here?

Who is taking the bet that Luongo is still here after Gillis is sent packing?

Ownership wouldn't buy out Lu and Gillis pushed the panic button. He should have waited out the summer. There are still plenty of teams that need a good goalie.

First AV now their number one goalie for a 9th pick overall? Very weak trade for us, period.

Canucks have never been very good at getting draft picks and making them see their full potential. Now we have thrown away a potential Vezina Trophy winner for what?

Start a list of Gillis's fuck ups:

Cody Hodgson
Grabner
AV
Schneider

We are all entitled to an opinion and because you choose to be one of the Toadies who suck the Gillis Dick or Rah Rah for the opinions put out there on Team 1040; go for it. Only one who thinks your opinion means more than anyone else's here pal, is you. You are just a Pooner like the rest of us, capiche?

Wrong, only badger john may have an opinion.

I have told you repeatedly to not engage in drama and you continually find yourself knee deep in it. Your need for the last word is going to be your undoing. Smarten up or you will find yourself with a summer off from Perb. I am not telling you again.
