Ok, that's fair.
And honestly, offloading Luongo's awful contract - and only eating 800k of it - is a pretty good move all by itself. Markstrom might even end up making good on his <ahem> potential.

Canucks-GAF should just send Garrison back. You guys are not using the G52 correctly.
Canucks got Matthias, who was acquired by trading Bertuzzi, who was acquired for Loungo. The circle is complete.

Only if you take Kostka back.
Watcha doin tonight?
"I heard something about tires being pumped in Florida?"
Yeah not so simple though with the cap recapture penalty. If Luongo retires before 2022 they're gonna have to pay up the ass.

Also yikes, St. Louis refused to talk to the media after the loss tonight.
He really needs to have his captaincy stripped.

I don't feel that MSL will be moved by tomorrow. Smells like an off season move to me.

That 800k though was probably tossed in to make sure that never happens. Florida could just dump him in the ECHL for the last 3 years of his contract; the 200-400k cap hit (against a 90+ million limit) is something even that disaster of a franchise could handle.
I like how serious you've been with your suspension.
And whoa, missed all the Luongo stuff earlier. It's been an interesting read the past few pages.
Feels like neither Kesler or MSL will be moved tomorrow.

Yeah, there's really no reason or urgency for Yzerman to trade him now. We're not going to get anything in return that's going to help the team make the playoffs.
Marty's not going to quit on the ice, but his head clearly isn't into leading this team.
The Lulongo trade strongly suggests Kesler will be traded tomorrow imo
Gillis said he's listening to a lot of teams asking about a lot of players.
I'm fairly confident this won't have been the last trade the Canucks made. We'll see if it's Kesler or not.
Yep, getting the distraction out of the way. Doubt we see a Kesler trade before the very last moment to the deadline, though. Price is gonna be sky high at that point thanks to bidding wars.
Yup, unless none of the rumors were even close to legit discussions Kesler is moved tomorrow.
Elder is a maybe, beyond that - not sure? I'd love to start stocking up on some 1sts but not sure who else we could trade outside of those two that would fetch them.

I can see Pittsburgh being desperate enough to pay the price for Kesler. I don't think there's any team in the league that's under more pressure to win a Cup than them.
Agreed, I'll be surprised if Kesler is a Canuck tomorrow evening.

What about Bieksa, Hamhuis, Edler and Garrison?
All but Edler would fetch good returns for Vancouver.
Not really pressure but I'd bet the Ducks REALLY want to win one last one for Teemu.
In terms of returns? Hamhuis would fetch a LOT. But Gillis probably also asking for a ton. Booth/Burrows I want gone but they're essentially worthless at this point. Rather keep Burrows, hope he plays better next season and trade him then. Buy out Booth.
Who else? Higgins has value, but I want to keep him. Bieksa and Garrison have some value, though I'm not sure how much.
No way we're trading Tanev or the Sedins.
Nobody else has value.
Holmgren vs Shero. Whoever loses, we win.
I could see Edler going to a contender, but the others I don't see moving unless a team blew Gillis away with an obvious fleecing. The other 3 guys are more like off season moves at the draft, they can't completely gut their D group right now.

Buyout Burrows. He has a terrible contract and is 3 years older than Booth.
This would never happen, but I would really like to see Hamhuis for Gardiner + 2014 1st Pick.
We can definitely trade ONE of those guys right now. Maybe two, but then we have to rely on nobody getting injured. Agreed though, rest seem more of offseason moves.
Also, Matthias on the trade:
"Im pumped, Im so excited, said Matthias, a native of Mississauga, Ont. I told my agent a while ago that Id love to go to a Canadian city. I saw the rumblings and the rumours to Van for a while and I was always hoping it would happen. When I got the news today, I couldnt stop smiling. Im a Canadian kid and you want to play in a Canadian market. Its going to be special and I think my game is going to elevate.
I was hoping for a change for a while, he continued. Last year at the deadline, I was hoping for a change. Its been a frustrating season here (in Florida) but I think Ive played well. Im excited to come to Vancouver and get started and show that I can be the player I know I can be. Vancouver is a first-class organization and I want to step right in and help the team and be accountable and reliable. I want to show my teammates right off the bat that I want to be here."

Yeah, I was about to point out Harrelson's role in Kingpin and give all you True Detectives a hardon.
Can't go wrong with Kingpin.

Here's hoping nothing of significance happens tomorrow.
Really? He's 31, that's a big price tag for a guy getting up there.
One of who? One of : Bieksa, Hamhuis, Edler and Garrison or two of them including Edler? Gillis can't just go and offload all his vets and supposed core players, that sends a terrible message to the team, not that that message hasn't already been sent. None of those guys are on expiring contracts though, so it makes more sense to wait until the draft when teams have a better grasp of their teams and their needs. Use them as trade bait for picks at the draft.
One of Bieksa/Hamhuis/Edler/Garrison. MAYBE two of them if someone really overpays. And the message has pretty much been sent with the Luongo trade and the Kesler trade rumours/Kesler trade if it happens. Plus we've lost 10 of the last 11 games, how much worse can we really get.
I say blow it all up.
But yeah, if we don't get the return we want, just keep them until the draft/the offseason.
Hamhuis is more valuable than that.

I'd say Edler would probably fetch the biggest return if nothing else.
Not happening. They're a package deal and nobody is taking on an aging 14 million dollars. Not to mention that they have NTC's and are THE cornerstone of this franchise and the city. They'll retire here. They're not Traitordins
Sedins would work well on a cash strapped team since women only make about 70 cents on the dollar compared to men.
Stop trying to trick people into trading for Clarkson!

Marleau fucked that up
People said the same thing about Alfredsson. Just sayin'. I don't expect it anytime soon, but if the Canucks are serious about a proper rebuild then they would make them available.
Alfredsson didn't get traded though. He signed in Detroit. The Sedins would need to waive their NTC's AND they're two players, not just one. It's not happening.
lol
Burrows and the Sedins got 'thank you' contracts (jokes?). They won't be earning their millions. And pretty soon it'll be obvious to everyone that they're untradable.
