Why do you think you haven't been traded yet?

Luongo: "My contract sucks."

Best part of trade deadline day so far.

That was brilliant. This is why I like Luongo.

"I'd scrap it if I could right now." - Interesting.

 

[Giggzy]

I'm happy with the Lombardi trade. McMillan gets very little time and too weak. We need another center too.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Hey 7 years later a team can finally afford to keep both.

FU Muckler

Or we could have just picked the right one.

 

[SummitAve]

Thank you Buffalo!!!

 

[Tabris]

There's no need for a fucking press conference. We were a shit team yesterday and a shit team today.

LOL Really? A shit team?

 

[Razorskin]

HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE

Better have a gif prepared for his goals

"My contract sucks," says Roberto Luongo. "It's why I'm still here."

 

[Red_Man]

He looks like he's going to cry at any moment.

 

[Marvie_3]

Thank you Buffalo!!!

Both teams did well on that trade.

 

[Cagey]

Sullivan to Devils for a 7th rounder.

What a steal for the devils.

We love our retreads.

[demosthenes]

Thank you Buffalo!!!

I want some official details. I don't get why they're not out. Some say prospects + draft picks, some just say prospects.

 

[RC]

LOL Really? A shit team?

Yeah. We're still primed for a first round exit.

 

[KernelPanic]

Or we could have just picked the right one.

Well ..... yes which is why Muckler is an idiot.

 

[gaming_noob]

Rangers robbed the Blue Jackets. Rangers GM wins in every trade...WTF.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Another shitty D for Carlyle to play instead of Gardiner?

 

[Quick]

Montreal tried to get Raffi Torres. lol

 

[Spl1nter]

Luongo is a genius. This press conference ensures he gets out now.

 

[Marvie_3]

After seeing Steve Sullivan's name pop up, I can't resist posting this again:

Yep, you got a gimped Komisarek 2.0

Lets pretend like they didn't.....

Luongo is a genius. This press conference ensures he gets out now.

No one trades for players based on sympathy.

 

[Cake Boss]

Rangers robbed the Blue Jackets. Rangers GM wins in every trade...WTF.

No they didnt, and no he doesnt.

 

[SummitAve]

Both teams did well on that trade.

Definitely. We had a wealth of good goalies and Larsson is going to be a fine player, but it's a fantastic move for us, a team trying to win now. Especially since it means we finally get a right hander on the right wing PP.

 

[lamaroo]

Montreal tried to get Raffi Torres. lol

Well the good news is we didn't offer anything higher than a 4th round pick.

 

[CrankyJay]

Definitely. We had a wealth of good goalies and Larsson is going to be a fine player, but it's a fantastic move for us, a team trying to win now. Especially since it means we finally get a right hander on the right wing PP.

Enjoy him. He was my first NHL jersey ever. He'll be a great addition to the Wild but the Sabres need multiple players for him. It was a good trade for both teams.

C'mon Nonis!!

 

[CCF23]

I'm gonna say whoever gets Luongo is gonna get a fucking beast. He's gonna be uber motivated to show whatever teams didn't trade for him that they made a mistake.

 

[Marvie_3]

I'm gonna say whoever gets Luongo is gonna get a fucking beast. He's gonna be uber motivated to show whatever teams didn't trade for him that they made a mistake.

He can be Emery's replacement next year.

 

[CrankyJay]

Rumblings about another trade between Caps and Sabres...could be nothing though.

 

[Red_Man]

I'm gonna say whoever gets Luongo is gonna get a fucking beast. He's gonna be uber motivated to show whatever teams didn't trade for him that they made a mistake.

Except they'll still have his contract so it'll still be a mistake, unless he becomes the second coming of Brodeur.

 

[Zombie James]

Leafs have way too many defencemen, I don't know what the hell they're doing.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

With Bjugstad signed all three 2010 1st rounders will be on the ice Saturday.

Gudbranson, Howden, Bjugstad

 

[sazabirules]

Rumblings about another trade between Caps and Sabres...could be nothing though.

Caps announced a trade has been made with someone. Hasn't been specified yet due to not having trade call yet.

 

[Quick]

What's the rule on contract restructuring in the new CBA? Can Luongo restructure his contract?

 

[ShaneB]

Luongo should've added that he wished the NHL could do like the NFL and just cut him since there are no contract guarantees. Bad Contract? No big deal, cya!

 

[Red_Man]

What's the rule on contract restructuring in the new CBA? Can Luongo restructure his contract?

Nope.

 

[Curufinwe]

So the Flyers are out Leighton, Harry Z, and a 3rd for Mason and Rosehill.

Not happy about the third. Probably'll be a high one.

Should probably just be happy we walked away with our 1st and 2nd...

Still have Coots and Reader, too.

And the 3rd round pick is in 2015.

 

[sazabirules]

Uh oh GMGM told the local stations to be here for the conference.

 

[lupinko]

What's the rule on contract restructuring in the new CBA? Can Luongo restructure his contract?

Does it really matter? Leafs have money out the wazoo.

 

[Marvie_3]

Uh oh GMGM told the local stations to be here for the conference.

"Come watch me get fired!"

 

[tycoonheart]

I swear, if Caps traded for Miller I'll lose my shit. That'd be an atrocious trade.

 

[Red_Man]

According to Kypreos, Bergeron suffered a concussion last night. Bad news for Bruins, hopefully the Habs can take advantage and hold onto that #2 seed.

 

[CrankyJay]

I swear, if Caps traded for Miller I'll lose my shit. That'd be an atrocious trade.

I'd take it...muahaha.

 

[Quick]

Nope.

I always thought there was some sort of way to do it, but after sorting through Google search results, this seems to be the case. Just "nope" - haha.

Does it really matter? Leafs have money out the wazoo.

I'm not actually saying I want Luongo. lol

 

[Merguson]

Uh oh GMGM told the local stations to be here for the conference.

"Please be excited for a trade."

"It's a 7th in 2013 for a 7th in 2014. Fuck you all."

 

[CrankyJay]

Caps calling Local TV stations for release...

Oh shit...that means Megaton

 

[KernelPanic]

Ian Mendes ‏@ian_mendes
Luongo will have an easier time getting out of a cell phone contract than the one he's got with the Canucks.

LOL

 

[SummitAve]

Enjoy him. He was my first NHL jersey ever. He'll be a great addition to the Wild but the Sabres need multiple players for him. It was a good trade for both teams.

I don't know a whole lot about him, but he seems like a class act and the kind of player I want alongside Parise, Suter, and Koivu.
