Mr Dee Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Well, Luongo and his contract did have to go…so there's that. Now if they could figure out how to trade Gillis…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Markstrom, Matthias, & a 1st round pick for Luongo, Schneider, & a couple $million/yr is retained salary. How much longer does Gillis keep his job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 This is a bad trade but Matthias and Markstrom aren't "nobodies". Considering the contract, it was as good a deal they could possibly get. The real mistake was trading Schneider but hindsight is 20-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Luongo was a punching bag because of his huge contract & an excuse for the team falling apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the contract, it was as good a deal they could possibly get. The real mistake was trading Schneider but hindsight is 20-20. This is exactly why it's a terrible trade. If they'd done this trade last year no big deal, the fact that they did it after trading Schneider last year (and trading him for a smaller offer even, Edmonton is rumoured to have offered their first round pick which was 2 picks higher than what they got and a prospect like Marincin who is playing quite well this season) Just horrible management and I can't wait to see how he manages to **** up the Kesler situation too.

Guest Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 How Gillis is still the GM in Vancouver is beyond me, the Canucks had Luongo and Schneider, both proven NHL starters and are now saddled with Lack and Markstrom. Confusing no ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markstrom is a pretty well known name. A couple of years ago he was being touted as the next big thing in net. Dominated in Europe before he came over here and became mediocre.

johnzo Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Tim Thomas is Florida's regular goaltender? This gets better and better. (I didn't know this because who pays attention to the Florida Panthers?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Tim Thomas was traded, I was watching trade center all day and it was someone hilarious that Gillis was on the golf course while the rest of the GM's were at arenas or other war rooms. I did enjoy him getting snappy at Farhad Laji (sp?) when he questioned him about Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
