Given Bryz's struggles all year in Philly, I would not be surprised if they kick the tires at a few options to.

There would be teams interested, sure, but finding one that Lu is interested in as well is the tricky part. The guy wants a cup, badly.
The sad part is that we likely wouldn't get any significant players in return for Lu because of the contract length, and Lu is a significant player himself.
That's the big thing. Keep Lu, a proven # 1 goalie and hope to get some young, affordable talent to win a cup, or keep Schneider and hope move some pieces around here and there with an extra schmill or so to spend...
I guess it all comes down to what other GMs are offering for both goalies and MG will have to decide. It may very well be the biggest decision any GM has had to make in Canuck history...
