Luongo A Goner?
Roberto Luongo previously the #1 goalie of the Vancouver Canucks has not been playing so well for about 3 years or so, everyone has lost faith in Luo and has been turning to the ginger Cory Schneider.
Corey Schneider the 2nd goalie for the Vancouver Canucks is like a rising star he is doing an amazing job saving pucks, Schneider last year didn’t really get a chance to play in the normal season or the playoff season, could it be because Luongo is selfish and wants not only all the money but the fame to himself? One cannot help but wonder if the fact that Robert Luongo accepting the right to be traded at any time is a good thing or if it’s just a test to see who will try and snatch him away from the Canucks.
In my personal opinion keeping Luongo on the team would be a waste of money, time and energy to train him to actually save a few pucks here and there, we have an amazing goalie that has proven himself to be amazing and the Canucks need to fix the team so I say trade the man to a team where we can get some affective players.
The Vancouver Canucks have never won a Stanley Cup they have come close several times but they haven’t been able to grab it, last year’s season was horrible it looked like Luo wasn’t even trying and the Vancouver Canucks need a goalie who is going to give 110% out there on the ice and make sure that they can make it through to the end.
Luongo said if he could go to any team he wouldn’t mind going to Toronto Maple Leafs, there was apparently a suggestion to trade Luongo to the Maple Leafs for Phil Kessel and one of their draft picks....looks like they have one more day before they can’t add the draft pick in the trad so they will have to hurry up with that decision, Other rumors are that the Florida Panthers and the Toronto Maple Leafs are both interested in Luongo but the Canucks don’t want to make what they call a “soft deal” at this point they are hoping to get a better deal for Luongo.
Hopefully in the next week we will hear more from where the “run out” goalie will go, if he stays in Vancouver and is just put as the backup goalie for later or if he goes to another team and the Canucks get a better chance to fix their team. I will keep you posted on the details.
