Canucks summer 2013 blow'd up real good thread

[dash]

The Thrashers relocating to Winnipeg really hurt the AHL situation for the Canucks as the Manitoba Moose were probably one of the top AHL organizations.

Wait a second where's LUONGO?

New York Islanders for Tavares didn't you hear?

 

[mattola]

So they will be called the Utica Comets

I was "pulling" for the endearing "Unucks" (or eunichs)

apparently this deal was done for the sole reason that is was a guaranteed revenue earner for the Canucks. Looks to me we are going to be sacrificing almost anything just to make a buck in the next few years. Owners now are in money mode and the Cup is a distant thought.

Im so very glad I gave up my season tickets.

Actually during a chat Arthur Staple who covers the Isles for Newsday said the Isles would rather buyout Dipietro than trade him for another teams big contract.

Nice try. It's NOT happening.

So which team is going to be the SUCKER & take Luongo off the Canucks hands? I just don't see it unless the Canucks are willing to eat some of his contract.

next year is going to be a write off too.
simply too many $4+ million players with this severe cap drop.
leaves two lines stacked with ELC or min contracts... example - jstew's roster
don't know if they can afford a $1.2 million 7th d-man.

That's awesome Matt, lol

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

That's awesome Matt, lol

How is it awesome if there's no way it will ever happen?

Good luck to Gillis in trading Luongo. Obviously the TRUTH hurts.
