Of course. But it's in his interest to exaggerate and make his hand look much better. I mean, why is it 4-5? Can he not remember exactly how many teams are interested? I bet you he's having discussion with 3 teams. The "1 real contender" is, of course, Florida, since that's where Luongo wants to go.

Not disagreeing with you, just saying he doesn't have to really sell himself a great deal in this case. Curious what teams would be willing to part with. Although of course he wants Florida, guy just isn't a big time goaltender.

Toronto gets a 4th for Lombardi. A 3rd if he re-signs in Phx.
What do they get if he re-signs in Quebec?

Don't just stare at it, Christie. Eat it.
I think he does. As much as Luongo can help teams big time, no organization wants that contract.

Toronto probably does.

I would just buy ones in the nosebleeds but I'm guessing they're still nearly $100. At that point may as well get classy seats. Seems I keep moving to cities where hockey is more expensive.
4th rounder. If Lombardi ends up having a good season, and resigns in Phoenix, then they'd be happy to give up a 3rd for him.
Nonis probably waits to see how his team does and will pull the trigger mid-season if he thinks a goaltender would put them over the edge. Otherwise he'll continue to offer scraps.
My theory.
I do believe there is a place in the nosebleeds with $15-$20 tickets.

Get rid of Komisaurus and Little Tim and the statue of Nonis will begin construction.
Don't forget steckel
I don't care how well he can win a face off if he can't play hockey
First half of season two is slow and boring, gets better going into the second half, and much better towards the end. Third season has been fantastic.
Also hello NHL Gaf. New junior reporting in. Add my name to the small list of Blues supporters around here.

I bet "hey you guys still trading Luongo" counts as interest.

I had really high hopes for him this year...
Yeah right, they'll just put Orr in the spot
Because we obviously need less talent to win games
I like this move a lot. This frees up a huge spot for one of our Marlies youngsters. But how much salary did we retain? Getting rid of his negatively-valued $3.5million cap hit isn't such a big deal if we're retaining a big chunk of his salary.
I don't think Lombardi will be re-signed by the Coyotes (and so the pick will remain a 4th rounder). Phoenix has a much better system over there and the coaching staff will be able to squeeze some positive contributions out of Lombardi. But he wasn't the same after the concussion.
edit: DopeyFish, I'd rather have Orr in the lineup than Lombardi. Less talent? What talent did Lombardi have?
Hopefully. This is how I see the lines right now:
Lupul Bozak Kessel
JVR Grabovski Kulemin
Kadri Connolly MacArthur
Komarov Frattin Brown McClement Steckel

Lebda for Franson and 3/4 round draft pick...Burke is awesome.
Better to have JVR, Kadri and Connolly
Fuck yeh 3 proper scoring lines
Cost $4 mil though
Lombardi... The only noteworthy he did was score on Montreal in the season opener. We paid $4 mil for that
Bruins tickets are now more expensive than leafs tickets?

Just got inspired to look through some old TicketMaster e-mails...
Two tickets for 30 bones including the service charges. I totally understand why the prices have gone up over the last few years, but not to this degree.
fuck you jacobs
This is how I see it
Lupul Bozak Kessel
JVR Grabovski ???
??? Connolly ???
Brown Steckel McClement
4 question marks. Kulemin and MacArthur definitely make the team, I just don't know where Carlyle will put them (2nd or 3rd line). And the last two spots will go to Marlies players that impress the coaching staff in training camp (and if Kadri isn't one of those youngsters, so be it, it wouldn't upset me).
Few years ago they had a B1G1 through the box office. I'd pay $30 or so for a couple tickets, and I think you could even add a student discount as well.
Now...Stubhub/Craigslist or bust.
fuck you jacobs
I wish there was a good site that showed all of the picks a team owned for a certain draft year, and where those picks came from.
I say this only because with the 4th rounder from the Lombardi deal, the Leafs may end up with three 4th rounders in the upcoming draft. Their own 4th rounder, Phoenix's 4th rounder, and possibly Anaheim's 4th rounder. The Lupul deal included a conditional 4th rounder that will be awarded to Toronto if Lupul plays ~40 games for the Leafs this season.
It would be pretty interesting to trace every pick's movement.

Yeah tickets seem to be more reasonable on stub hub, which is strange to me...
fuck you jacobs
Stubhub is by far the best. Sometimes if you wait right before the game you find some fantastic deals. They are pretty much all printed tickets now, but years ago you used to have to go The Harp across from the Garden to pick up your tickets from a Stubhub person. They messed up and didn't have my seats, so they gave me random seats for that game and a credit for tickets to another. The seats they gave me were a couple rows off the ice. Paid $18 for the best seats ever, plus got tickets to a upcoming game right away.

Habs leaf game in a few days. Excitement building up.
Oh when do more tickets go on sale, hoping to get a Boston game

Season ticket holders pay significantly less for their tickets when compared to the one-off game prices. Some of them will gouge buyers on StubHub and sell them closer to the BO/TM price, but others will be satisfied with a smaller profit, so the prices are more reasonable. That's the best way to buy these days.
Jacobs,
Damn, that's awesome, minor inconvenience aside
That's my plan though; I'm in Cambridge now and could get to a game relatively quickly so I'm hoping to get some last minute seats in a panic sell off

Jacobs,
Indeed, I'm just normally used to paying more from second hand sources when the team/event is in demand.

I hope he wears 87 like he did in khl

I could see them paying a lot with all of those top 10 draft rookies they have, though that contract will kill them in the long run resigning those kids.
But it will take them from #3 to #1 on ESPN's power rankings!
