This is his biggest problem, there aren't many "great" teams that are in need of a goalie, especially with such an ugly contract.
Exactly. If he really does want out of Vancouver, he better be willing to waive to any team
except Columbus
No he doesn't. That's the beauty of a no trade clause. If he doesn't want to go to those teams he doesn't have to. Canucks are then forced to trade Schneider and he's the unquestioned #1 on a playoff team.
But then Gillis can just play hardball and not trade either of them, which is probably the last thing Luongo wants. I doubt Luongo wants to chance another year in Vancouver, especially if he's likely to back-up. The pressure and scrutiny would be insane.
