Luongo willing to waive NTC for Leafs - sportsnet.ca
Quote:
Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo confirmed with Sportsnet's Dan Murphy Wednesday night that the Maple Leafs are on the short list of teams he will waive his no-trade clause for. The Tampa Bay Lightning are also said to be on the list that Luongo will reportedly file to Canucks general manager Mike Gillis early next week.
According to Sportsnet’s Nick Kypreos, Luongo told the Canucks in his exit meeting that he would welcome a trade.

To me, that's not a lot different than what he said in his interview a couple of days ago of not standing in the way if the team has a move to make. Saying he 'would welcome a trade' is not the same as demanding a trade. Saying that TML are on his short list of teams he would accept moving to is not the same as asking to be traded to that team.
Or maybe I'm just being naive here, haha. MG did imply Kesler isn't going anywhere, and Manny appears to have a spot next season.
regarding Kesler's shoulder injury, I wonder if that was from when he got Kronwall'd in February.
