all good points on this page regarding the trade.. I was at my cabin so only real feed i took the time to check out was Twitter

it does suck that a asset like schneider who you spent so much time to groom and develop and even tell him he's the man is traded for a player who seemingly wont be stepping into an NHL lineup anytime soon and thats the return? hmm.. but as has been said the goalie market is seemingly dry

What i have a hard time believing, and i guess it must be true as everyone reported is that there truly was absolutely no takers for Lu? As ive said before Lu brings alot more than just a goaltender who can take a non-playoff team into the playoffs, he's a single handed marketing chip. You're telling me that none of these bottom feeders would take Luongo with a nice cap hit to maintain their spot at the cap floor?

Luongo is amazingly consistent and relatively healthy, those like 3-4 years on top of what an equivalent or even below Lu goalie is getting is THAT much of a deterant from taking him on? That blows my fucking mind...

Anyways, imo MG is at least TRYING to do somthing and this move isnt like a status quo move, this is a fucking earthquake of a shake up, dump Schneids, dump Ballard, cast off from FA's, sign some depth and grit and make MAYBE 1-2 more pushes at a cup, in three years if we havent built a team like a chicago where your young players are constant contributors and vets can slowly fall back into roles or even be traded because the depth has taken their place, thats the only way this will go anywhere or else in three years fans should be praying for a rebuild from top to bottom and no more dwelling in mediocrity
