Vigneault: Luongo wants to be traded

[HawkWriter]

We could send them Frolik, Beach, Salak

IF, and I mean IF as I am definitely talking hypothetically here, the Blackhawks were to trade for Luongo they would nee to ship Crawford off somewhere as well because his contract would be a killer in a back up role with Luongo's in town.

I don't know if the Canucks would even want Salak, they have some pretty good goalie prospects and might not want to deal with a supposed head case. Frolik + Beach might actually get the deal done though, just because the Canucks backs are against the wall.

The market will be set if more than 1 team has a legitimate interest in Luongo. The second that happens, the Canucks will pin those teams up against each other and get as much as possible for Lu.

flip crawf to the Leafs

Leafs, Lightning, Blue Jackets, Isles, Panthers, etc...definitely a few options and possibilities out there who would be interested in Crawford regardless of his struggles last year.

good. I hope it goes through

I don't think it does. If it does, then please, please contract.

The league would lose the parity it has garnished if it does as well.

Also I'm not to sure where the oilers stand in net. Dubynk there guy, maybe we could get someone for Crawford?

The 2012 Summer Goalie Market | The Hockey Writers

Tim Thomas, Boston – 35-19-1, 2.36 GAA, .920 Save % Prediction: will be traded to the Chicago Blackhawks for Ray Emery, Dave Bolland and Kyle Beach

Thomas/Crawford next year... 7.6 mil tied up in goalies :lol:

im in shock by some of the posts in here about Luongo.

Anyway, Vancouver is NOT by any means in the driver seat here. they arent going to fleece any GM in the NHL due to his cap hit. This whole idea that it will take a lot is assinine. the only hang up is balancing the hawks budget with obtaining him. They dont HAVE to deal salary to the canucks, they just have to find a way to deal salary to other teams. Such as crawford to someone, Bolland to someone ETC.

I would prefer a tier lower defenseman than Suter in order to get a real goalie.

i don't mind him, but I can guarantee that his next blog post will be...

My sources tell me that the Bruins and Hawks are looking into a Tim Thomas deal centering around Emery, Bolland, and Kyle Beach

 

[DewsSox79]

I also think that the fans that go back to the buff series and say "well he cryz and getz rattled and stuffz" should probably stop watching hockey. That is 100% meatball mentality.

JJ has more insight than all of us. I will take any resource I can get. Plus I think is fine when it comes to insider info.

I never said it would take a lot. I just asked why would the Canucks want Frolik and Hammer? that would do no good to them.

Never said Canucks were in the drivers seat. I know that he is the one that requested the trade and that his contract is a big thing to take on, so teams aren't going to give up much and the Canucks are going to have to deal with that.

Just why Frolik and Hammer? Other than they have big contracts and the Hawks don't want them.
