Let's keep things real and light here, I still have to go to work the next day even if the Canucks win the cup. Ultimately they are just entertainment. Yeah, I've managed to detach myself emotionally from the team, and at the end of the day remember its just a game--bunch of guys chasing around a rubber disc on ice with knives strapped to their skates.
Call me sick, but I also get my entertainment jollies from all the fans (nobody here in particular) jumping to forgone conclusions with panties tied in a knot and crucifying every deal our team makes. Oh what a great city we live in lol. Yeah I think Cory could have been worth more than a #9 pick if the decision was made earlier to make him available (like during the season, at the deadline), but we weren't supposed to get swept out in the 1st round. Given the circumstances, I don't think we got 'fleeced' on the deal

My thoughts exactly, too many armchair gms. Luongo shot himself in the foot, he was focused on Florida too much. It was either trade luongo for another ebbett or trade schneider and get more back. Edmonton backed away from the deal so not much you can do.
