So Aquillini has been down to Florida to see Roberto, Gillis has committed to doing the same in the next 10 days and today it's published that Torts is also going down. Damn this has me concerned.

Luo has been a class act throughout this whole ordeal always supporting his team. He deserved to be treated better but it happened. I expected with an opportunity to go for a gold in Sochi, prove to all the GM's in the league that he was worth his contract, and of course support his team mates, that he'd get past this. With that many flights down to Florida I'm beginning to think all the worriers maybe right and he's not going to be as accepting of a return as I hoped.

Where's his condo located? How much?

Unless Luongo goes Timmy eccentric here he will be ready to go for camp, what else is he going to do with himself? He's just yanking the Nucks chain for mild revenge and twitter hits.

Either Renaud Lavoie is trolling or Luongo has STILL not said he'll withdraw his trade request and is still weighing his options.

and those options would be....play for the canucks, don't play, play gm and and make your own deal?!

Why do I think the shaking of my head isn't going to stop anytime soon

big interview with Luongo happening today on TSN at 3. Duthie tweeted some highlights

"Luongo will report to Canucks training camp, and says he is extremely motivated, but remains uncertain about his future in Van."

"Luongo: "I had moved on from Vancouver and was ready to start fresh somewhere else...like a divorce...except she wanted me back."

"Luongo also talks about breaking down after not being dealt at deadline and "blacking out" when he learned VAN had traded Schneider."

"Luongo also reveals that in May he had serious talks with the NHLPA about the possibility of voiding his deal and walking away from 40m."

Can i throw this out there....long shot..but maybe...Would Miller for Luongo work? With whats his name dropping $40 mil for Erhoff and a few million to much for whats his face, would this work? Miller wants out, so does Lu. Both are world class goalies. Miller is 6 mil and Luongo is 5.3 i know the years are different..but food for thought

No one wants Lu's contract. It's as simple as that. Those back end years and the cap penalties for them are absolute non-starters for any owner. It's not about the goalie anymore. Just like the issue with Lecavalier. The only way to resolve it was a compliance buyout, or just live with it if you aren't willing to do that.

It's absolutely mindboggling that the owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning chose the buyout + sign a not cheap replacement (Filpulla) while the owner of the Vancouver Canucks refused to do the same and had the team trade the soon to be not cheap replacement (Schneider) as a result.
