We can move this to the rumors thread if it doesn't warrant its own thread

if you can get him you take him all day long. Money in the new CBA can be moved from team to team.

anyone who thinks that crawford/emery tandem is better than those people are huge idiots. "oh noes he cantz come herezz becauseszz of teh big buffsz gotsz in teh headz"

Luongo would definitely be an upgrade but a team like the Blackhawks would have to be careful because of the salary cap ramifications. A team can now eat up to 50% of the cap hit/salary in a trade, but I find it highly unlikely that the Canucks will eat that much (or anywhere near that) and do it for another 10 years. The Canucks are currently only 900k under THIS year's salary cap, which means they are going to have some maneuvering to do next year. It would be even more difficult for them if they have to pay for Luongo not being on their team.

I was all for Luongo when the cap was at $70mil but with it going down to $64mil, I just don't see a way it would work out for the Canucks or the Blackhawks. Could happen, but it would take a lot of cooperation from the Canucks.

Hope Crawford keeps playing well so all this Luongo bullshit will stop.

The only reason to not want Loungo is because of the cap hit because he is a huge upgrade over what we have right now. I don't see it happening since Loungo can steer a trade to where ever he wants, but damn that would really upgrade the team's biggest weakness right now. And I for one would think he could thrive in a situation where he really just has to be a role player, and not a guy carrying the team.

The hawks should trade for him, buy him out and resign him

interesting idea icehog


Will Wirtz be ok with cutting a fat check like Luongo will get for being bought out? (I believe it is 50% of what he is still owed)

Thats alot of dough

Can't buy out a player and then re-sign him.
